Back when I first got the Empeg, I was interested in hacking the fonts myself, and I asked about it, both on this BBS and via e-mail. I located the font files on the disk, but I was unable to figure out how to translate those files into something editable. I was never able to work out the file format just by looking at the file.
I was only interested in altering the existing fonts a little bit, though. There are too few pixels to come up with a fancy "Maiden" font as you suggest.
I never got a reply on the subject from the Empeg guys, either because they were too busy to give some weirdo the file specs, or because hacking the font files would technically be altering the player software- something that they're probably not keen on having us do.
