2. Extract files from archive
3. Locate menu_us.lgp and extract them using your favorite LGP program into a folder
4. Copy the two .tex files from the downloaded file into the folder you extracted menu_us.lgp into

6. Create a new menu_us.lgp file from this folder
7. Copy the new file back into the original location.

Were the shadows running over into other characters?

Actually I'm too busy posting and working on other projects to even play the game  :-P
I do need to play some... Once you get the shadows working, I'll load up all my mods and probably play until I get to Don Corneo's at least
Half done the field text. Hopefully have it up sometime today.
Nice :wink:

I see this has the included Font Texture.  Surely then, it is not too difficult to replace a character by editing this texture?

I need a small O with a macron (Japanese use, romaji).   Any chance this can be done?

Yeah no problem to do that. There is one thing you have to remember though. Say i replace the letter e with the character ~.
When you are translating the game you have to remember that every time you want to use the ~ you have to type e instead (in whatever program you are using to translate)

Yeah I figured that and already made an O with accent the one that will be the macron inside loveless :)

i'm not really liking the materia, however, it is definitely an improvement over the original. 
Maybe something similar to what obesebear posted, but less transparent?
The font itself looks great though, and i can't wait to see your next release!

Looks like you broke the numbers with that one haha. But, it's a ton better then the white blocks XD

I like you're Obesebear, But do you have the rest for the other materia?

Awesome!  Also, I don't know much about program creation, but is it possible to make an installer that unpacks, modifies, and repacks the archives to save us trouble?

I like the look of that. What you guys think?

And you have to copy the png's to the texture folders and replace the tex files in menu_us.lgp

I definitely like the look of it when it's equipped!
You can make the rest yourself right?
