Anynone know how to convert cyrillc fnt. file into Unicode ?

[Fillout32]

Hello,

 

i would like to use this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/51066/?, as it offers beautiful classic Fallout font and is in reasonable size, but unfortunately for me, it´s not supporting czech and polish diacritics.

 

I am not a specialist in this area, so sorry, if i mixing up a terms lol, but i think, that the thing i want to do is to convert (if it is even possible) source cyrillic fonts to something like Unicode or UTF-8 formats, which actually supporting czech diacritics.

 

Thank you for any info.

I don't know anything about the languages concerned to be aware of their underlying foundation and potential problems, but what you are asking about is known as "transliteration": the conversion of a text from one script (language encoding) to another. That alone will not convey any information about the meaning, grammar, and syntax of the language, but will suffice as an alternate way of representing the Cyrillic alphabet. The Wikipedia article on "Scientific_transliteration_of_Cyrillic" lists various official forms of encoding. (Fonts are just different visual representations of the underlying encoding used by the computer.) From those you should be able to search out compatible fonts. That last article contains a table of Cyrillic transliterations into several Slavic languages if you feel you need to create your own.

 

Getting the proper terminology is often key to locating the information you desire.

And I naively thought, that some sort of font converter exists :laugh:. Well, when that's not a case, i think, that this will be nice example of situation, where potential result wont offsets time and effort given into it.

 

Anyway, thanks for the info !
