Nothing I could find had the correct glyphs - for you see, dear reader, the BW battle screen has a capital É which is one pixel shorter than the normal E. I found TTFs with a full-size É and I found pixel rips without the É - all worthless lies.
So I decided to create them instead, as accurately as possible. I ripped the 3 fonts from a Black 2 ROM, wrote a script to process them into the 3dPE font format (image and JSON - easy, beautiful) and then process them into real actual TTF files (vectors and metrics - awful, cursed).
There are 3 fonts included:
- Truth and Ideals - the main Gen 5 font, used all over the game.
- Small Truths - a smaller version of above, used in the credits. UTF support isn't as good.
- Fighting Ideals - the small, outlined font used on the battle screens.
The fonts should all be used at 10px size to be 1:1 pixel scale. Each comes with a Normal style and a Shadow style (or Outline for Fighting Ideals).
All spacing should be accurate from the in-game data, not 100% on the line height though. Let me know.
(No, you're drumming up Gen 5 nostalgia for your upcoming game engine.)
