Description

Games like Phantasy Star Online Episode I&II use the system font for a lot of the in-game text. Please include a high resolution version of font_western.bin and the JP one, nowadays we can run the games in 4K and still have to use a blurry font for some games.
I'm making a "HD" mod for PSO I&II and have successfully modded the other font the game use, a high resolution system-font-lookalike would be great.
(See how jarring it by looking at the attached screenshot)

Our goal is accuracy, and this includes using original system fonts, or as close as possible. High resolution textures and fonts are up to the end user to install.

I understand that, but I can't find much information on if it's even possible to modify "font tool" to load higher resolution Droid Sans into dolphin.

I don't think it's even possible to use a higher resolution system font, as the data is expected to be a certain size, and the game would just read junk from a larger font.

Yeah, if it was possible to just slip in a higher resolution font, that'd be pretty cool, but if it was that simple, someone would have already done it.

PSO doens't seem to care (or have limits to some texture sizes) when I load higher resolution assets directly into the ISO :P

That's irrelevant in this case. The system font is part of the IPL (Initial Program Loader), and is loaded into a known fixed-size memory region on boot, so you can't just shove a larger texture in there.

Damn I had hoped it would be doable.

Yeah, it's not possible to increase the resolution of the font that's stored in the IPL.
