Title: SWBF Font Type?
Post by: Gold Man on March 20, 2013, 06:11:16 PM
Hey guys, just curios if anyone knew what the font type was/is for SWBF? I mean like the chat font and/or menu font. If anyone knows where I can find it, it would be greatly appreciated! If it's not available anywhere, then perhaps someone could upload the .ttf file(s) of it? :)

Thanks!

It wouldn't be possible to swap the font out would it?

Yes, its kinda glitchy with me though...
Sometimes the letters appear all black (you can't see the shape of the letters).

Ah okay. I'm rather obsessed with my font. I want it to be on everything. So far only my PSP and laptop have it. Failed on getting it on my phone and haven't tried putting on my iPod touch yet.

Here is a handy site: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

Take a screen capture of the font and upload it here.

I tried that before, only when I screen capture the image is too pixelized for it to even identify a match if I zoom in on the text.

This one is quite close looking when I edit it into the core.lvl
I can't really tell the difference.

Edit- SWBF font is in FFF bitmat format, so I don't know if it looks exactly the same.

Perhaps if there is a method to fit an fff bitmat into a .ttf file format, then it might work. I keep forgetting, fff bitmaps are the images of text, right? There must be some manner to convert an .fff file to a .ttf file.
