File Formats[edit]
Arena[edit]
Arena uses .dat
files to store font information. ArenaFont within ArenaSuite is a good tool to view and edit.
Daggerfall[edit]
Daggerfall uses .fnt
files to store font information, but not like the conventional use of the format. Daggerfall Font Editor is a good tool to view and edit the fonts.
Morrowind[edit]
Morrowind uses .tex
and .fnt
files to store font information. The .tex
image file stores the all of the characters, while the .fnt
file - unconventionally - stores the position, size, and other various information of each character in the image. FontReader is a good tool to view and save the fonts.
Oblivion[edit]
Similarly to Morrowind, Oblivion uses .tex
and .fnt
files within Oblivion - Misc.bsa
to store font information. The .tex
image file stores the all of the characters, while the .fnt
file - unconventionally - stores the position, size, and other various information of each character in the image. Bethesda Archive Extractor is a good tool to open the .bsa
and Oblivion Font Editor is a good tool to view and save the fonts.
Skyrim[edit]
Skyrim's fonts are compiled within .swf
s within Skyrim - Interface.bsa
. Bethesda Archive Extractor is a good tool to open the .bsa
and JPEXS is a good tool to decompile an .swf
and export a font as a .ttf
.
