Requirements

  • BRFNTify Next
  • NSMBWii/NewerSMBW .brfnt font files
  • An image editor that supports transparency

Tutorial

Step 1

Open the font file that you want to edit in BRFNTify Next, then click File --> Export as Image to save the image. After that, you can edit it with your image editor.

NOTE: Characters in the mj2d00_numberFont_I4A.brfnt and mj2d01_marioFont_64_IA4.brfnt font files are 64x64 pixels in size, while in other font files, the characters are only 32x32 pixels in size.

Step 2

Once you're done editing the image, in BRFNTify Next, click File --> Import from Image and your new image should be imported properly. Then you can change the metrics of each letter including:

  • The character value (what character it should be).
  • The left margin (how far the texture should be offset).
  • The texture width.
  • The effective width of a character.

Play around with the latter 3 values until the character(s) you edited are the proper size. To preview text, click View --> Text Preview and type the letters that you want to compare or preview.
