JA New Fonts

[Merek]

Does anyone know where I can get a different font for Jedi Academy?

[Pande]

Afaik the majority of font changes have to be coded in to use different font files

[Circa]

I actually had started making a new one but I made it too light so I will have to start over.

 

To answer your question, I don't know of any standalone mods that do it yet.

I used to use this:

I no longer use that font.

It depends on what you're replacing.

Console font uses charsgrid_med.tga while other fonts use fonts in /fonts/. See JAFont with how to make these.

and yes, new actual fonts (not just replacements) require code editing

Did you try this?

Why would I post here If I hadn't googled it yet @@MoonDog?

The best way to go about it would be to use JAFont, as @@eezstreet suggested. There are directions of usage in the file's description. All you've gotta do is find a font you like, download it, and convert it. I believe "anewhope" is the menu font, so replace that in the Fonts folder. Fonts are just an image that the game subdivides (I think). So JAFont can easily pop a new font out for you in a jiffy.

Not quite. It's a .png and a .fontdat, and the .fontdat contains information about how the game subdivides the image used for the font.

Thanks for the correction, @@eezstreet

Wow. If I had known about that tool a few months ago. I did it the hard way and replaced every letter in photoshop in the base png. 

 

Searching "font" doesn't bring that up because it doesn't have the singular word font anywhere. I just updated that so it should show up now. That would have been nice.

I had assumed it was the link on Moddb

I already tried that using free fonts it didn't work. I also used renegade's font .pk3 file for comparison. The main reason I stopped using Renegade's font was when I connected to jka servers i couldn't read anything. The regular font from jka and the other font were blurred together in an unreadable mess. I will try the font tool again.

It's due to joining a ja+ server before loading it in the menu, so fonts and animations can get messed up. Putting the font mod in your japlus folder as well should fix it.

That's where I put it in the japlus folder. It usually works but there are times when i have a lot in my japlus and base folder and its fine when i start my own LAN server or browse the menu but when I connect its all messed up.
