    Default

    Look in the chars folder and you will see bitmaps of each character, with white as the foreground and black as the background. Thats what you have to do for each, taking into account spacing.

    You can use the stuff in text.scar, just use your own charset.

    Hopefully masquerader (the font master) will see this.

    I'm pretty sure you just stick em in a folder and use that charset. Unless someone like masq can tell you an easier way, I'd say install another SCAR and SRL, and replace the smallchars or something that text.scar uses with your bitmaps. Kinda cheating but it should get the job done.

    Not that I'm aware of. Your best bet is the devs that wrote text.scar and created the charsets.

    If the game uses a default font that you can find on your computer you can use that to load into scar so you won't have to make chars
