Introduction

This is a description of how to create a FM-Towns font rom (FMT_FNT.ROM) from the Windows font MS Mincho.

This font rom is for use with the Kanji versions of the FM-Towns games in ScummVM It currently describes how to create this font rom for Win32 users.


MakeFont

You are required to obtain the MakeFont utility from here.

You will need to:

Extract MakeFont into a suitable folder on your computer and start the program.

  • Choose MS Mincho from the font face list.
  • Choose the Unz 16dot font (fmt_fnt.rom) from the font type list.
  • Choose an appropriate output directory for your font rom and finally click ok.

If everything goes well then you should have a file called ‘FMT_FNT.ROM’ in your chosen directory.

This file can then be placed in your chosen game directory, or in your extrapath directory.
