Font Files Extraction

Postby skibulk » 19 Nov 2013, 01:03

Inside each of the Duels of the Planeswalkers game files, there are several fonts, encapsulated within .IMG files. Does anybody know how to extract the fonts? We might be able to use them to accurately render modern-framed MTG cards in asian languages (using Snacko's HQCG). I've attached a sample. I have more files gathered from all of the DotP releases.

The ImageTo utility might do the trick, but I don't know how to compile and run the scripts. Would anybody know how/be willing to do that? Thanks!

Skibulk, now that I think about it, you're much more likely to get an answer at viewforum.php?f=25. I'll mirror the topic.

I think this is the wrong section, Manalink does not have any .IMG files, DotP is this way >> Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

OK, I'll leave the topic in both places just in case.

Magic 2015 uses a new text font! Since it was designed exclusively for Wizards, I doubt we'll be able to get our hands on it... unless we can extract it from the D15 font files. I do hope somebody finds out how to do it!
