Gen 5 Font - Truth and Ideals

Other Gen 5 Font - Truth and Ideals 0.2

Working on 3dPE, I realised I'd been using the Gen 4 font for several years without noticing, so I set out into the wilderness to find a Gen 5 font rip.

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.
Because of game localisation, and using a script, I got every font character from the localisations - so the fonts all support Hangul, Japanese, Cyrillic, and lots of random UTF images (like arrows, gender symbols, playing card suits, weather icons, etc etc. The DS smileys are even in there somewhere.)

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.)
