    Fonts are foxing me

    I am trying to change the fonts in a theme. I have a theme I am modifying that already changes the fonts and I am thinking I can just experiment with switching out the font files and renaming them. However the fonts appear as a .fgf file and the fonts I have found to download are ttf files. Is it possible to change them to .fgf files and switch them out?

    have a look at the BigFonts extension - its in the 5e section somewhere. It uses ttf fonts as is. No need to convert them anymore.

    You can turn any ttf into a fgf with the FGF font generator found in the Wiki.

    Looking forward to seeing what you've done.
    I've minimized fonts changes with Savage Worlds because if it changes the fonts on the Combat Tracker it never seems to fit the frame neatly. I hope you've had better luck with that!

    yeah, some of the fonts are really small - must be 6pt or something. I had to leave those

    Nice job!
    And here I thought our new game should be a Savage Star Wars game
