JAFont 0.0.4

JAFont is a tool that converts .ttf fonts to a usable font format in JA. It was created by JAfont by Wudan, OJP et al, built with help from Bejitt and Fracman. 0.0.4 version by ykas.

Usage:

1. Copy font files (TTF, OTF) to JAFont/fonts directory.

2. Call jaFont.exe <command> <fontfile> <size> <JAfontname> [-cyr] [scale:<scale>] [format:q3] [outsize:<size>]

Required parameters (order matters):

1. <command> - should be always -create
2. <fontfile> - name of the font (ttf) file, including extension
3. <size> - font size
4. <JAfontname> - font name used in JO/JA

Optional parameters (order doesn't matter, but should be added at the right from required parameters):

• -cyr - use cyrillc encoding (Windows-1251)
• -koreanhack - don't use this setting
• scale:<integer> - font resolution scale, the value is integer (1 - normal, 2 - high-res font)
• yshift:<integer> - add vertical offset to all symbols to adjust text vertical coorinate (default value: 0). Don't use this setting.
• format:q3 - JO format (default is JA)
• outsize:<value> - in-game size (pt) of the font (for example, [<size>=18 ... outsize:9] creates 18pt font, but saves it as 9pt for better resolution)

As you can see, there are two ways to scale font, both give a bit different result, and in both cases positioning of scaled glyphs in game isn't very accurate.
Example #1: JAFont.exe -create ARIALNB.TTF 9 arialnb scale:2
Example #2: JAFont.exe -create ARIALNB.TTF 18 arialnb outsize:9

Resulting .fontdat and .png files will be placed in JAFont/output directory.

Notes:

• Since 0.0.2 version doesn't work anymore and doesn't include sources, this version is based on the original 0.0.1a.
• for Jedi Outcast, manually convert png image to tga (and don't forget about alpha channel).
