    • I just learned how to do this after googling it from Gaming World. So now, because nobody should ever, ever, EVER be forced to visit gaming world, (See: :V) I'll share here.

    Quote from:  Mateui
    How do I make my own glyphs?
    Simple. Edit the following bitmap image, only using 2 colours (black & white). Each glyph should is bound in a box that is 12x12 pixels. (Note: Anything that is black will be invisible/transparent in Rm2k/3) When you're done making your glyphs, make sure to save the image as an 8-bit bmp.


    To get your custom glyphs to show up in your project, download the tool RMRecker. (It can be found in the Downloads topic on this forum). Open up RMRecker. On the left side of the program, under "Other Resources", click on "Glyphs". Now, look to the bottom of the program, and click on the button that says "..." under "Executable to Fix". Browse and go into your project folder, and select "RPG_RT". Next, click on the blue large image in the middle of the program that says "Load Image". Select your glyph bmp file. Finally, hit the button that says "Patch".

    That's it!

    Now, to use your glyphs, simply use the glyph commands anywhere where you can type text in Rm2k/3. The command is simply "$[any letter of the alphabet]". Here is a guide for what letter of the alphabet will show which glyph:

    A B C D E F G H I J K L M
    N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
    a b c d e f g h i j k l m
    n o p q r s t u v w x y z

    So, for example, if I wanted to display an Up Arrow from the original glyph file, the command I would use would be: $s

    Just sharin' the wealth~

    • Can you do a similar thing with RMXP?  If so, are the dimensions of each glyph different?
    Always remember you're unique.
    Just like everybody else.

    • Well, there's no real reason for it anymore. XP uses real fonts from your harddrive, as opposed to rm2k/3's select two. If your font has symbols, you can use them.
