Font help requested for DQ12

[ChrisRPG]

Here's the deal. I need to make an Italics version of the dialogue font, so that it can be used in special text strings, like reading an inscription. I am just horrible at making fonts. So mine probably won't be very pretty. If you can help, please email me at chrisrpg@bellsouth.net . *I can send you all the files you'll need for it. I will only need the letters a-z and A-Z. I just would rather spend my time on getting the text all input correctly and fixing pointers.

Exactly what's involved with rom font-making? Is it some sort of ppm-type pixel-by-pixel editing or just a bunch of graphics?

Well you could use a graphics editor. the best one for this is Naga(if you dont have XP) and SNES edit (if you have XP)
Because the dialogue font is stored backwards, and a weird size of 8x13 , Which most game graphics editors cant handle properly. But it is pretty easy. http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Especially if you have an artistic flair, which I dont have at all. *http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif *I could do it myself, but I want to finish all the hacking related issues and pointers for the game first. And if someone can do this part for me. itll save some time. otherwise I may just hold off on it until a later release. like a 1.01 or sumthing http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
