Hey all!

Dumb question since everyone else seems to have figured it out but how the f**k do I make a font readable to my box? Some of the MXM skins I've downloaded have fonts in them in *.xpr format, is there a way to convert *.ttf to *.xpr or do you guys build the fonts from scratch? I want cool fonts!!

Thanks for your time, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I dont there is a tool as such, but somehow, not sure when you compile a App with the XDK there is a bundler like thing, thatll convert the .abc/.tga to .xpr..

I wouldnt know about that, as i use .bmf .

Sorry.

There is a tool.

Look for "fontbundle" - it's a tool I made that makes it pretty simple to use the bundler and FontMaker together (from the XDK).

It's very simple to use - simply make your raw files with FontMaker, then on exiting back to the "FontBundle" dialog, you load the TGA and hit the build button. The helper app will create the required definition file and generate an XPR for you with the font built in.

Don't ask where to find it. It's usually packaged with the XDK tools, and as such, qualifies as a "warez" package (and it's against the rules to ask where to get those or ask for them here)

As the man himself said

Aha, so you gotta use the XDK...I thought it'd be more complex than a simple conversion. Thanks guys!

PS hey BenJeremy, MXM ROCKS dude! Seriously you gotta be some kinda coding genius, it's pretty fuckin awesome. Congrats!
