I'd love to be able to swap this font out.

I thought that it only edited the player text fonts, not the scrolling font for the InfoTex visuals. I could be wrong, though.

Yes, it would appear that it mightn't do the info font. However, the large font is 19 pixels high which is more than half the screen. I don't know of any screens using a font half the size of the display.

I don't have my player here, so I can't download the large.bf file from it and load it into the software. Perhaps someone else can verify.

Then again this and this would suggest it's not possible after all.

IIRC, large.bf only has numerals.

It looks like the infoscroller font is stored in /empeg/lib/visuals/fontfile.raw and details on the file format are here.

It looks like no one has taken the time to write a de/coder for it yet, though. Maybe one of the empeg guys would donate a utility...
