[ImageTool] Trying to convert to FON2

Post by NightFright »

I intend to create a small fix for CeeJay's "Shoe Shine" patch. Its BIGFONT lump has wrong pixels in the "3" and "P" characters, causing transparency glitches ingame. So far I've managed to extract the font image with ImageTool and edit it with GIMP.

That's where it ends, though. Converting the edited PCX to FON2 won't work.

When I am doing this:

Code: Select all

imagetool font bigfont.pcx bigfont.lmp
I get this:

Code: Select all

Dimensions: 117 x 118
Char #67 (C) has height 38 instead of 12
bigfont.lmp: Nothing to save
I have attached the edited PCX below for reference.

ImageTool can be weird sometimes, to say the least. I changed the dimensions of the image (to 180 x 180), saved it to disk and converted it, and it worked.

Is this font allowed to be used in my projects? What is its license?
