NovaLogic uses a type of font file that, to my knowledge, I'm not sure anyone has ever really figured out. I've never seen the format anywhere else.

DFBHD has text strings in .bin files, and the game has hundreds of them... wait a second... okay, there's actually only forty-two .bin files altogether in the four .pff containers, but there are thousands of text strings.

NovaLogic never really localized DFBHD for anywhere, as far as I know. I have the version they sold in France and Germany, but that was only made to nerf the death screams and blood effects. All the dialogue and text is still in english, well, except for the somali dialogue. There are some .wavs that are in urdu and farsi, too.

If you stay on task, you're in for some work. If you figure out how to make fonts that work in DFBHD, there are a lot of modders that would like to see your notes on the subject.

I wish you luck.
