Trying to work with M3 fonts. Something wrong - the M2 doesn'nt see translated text on it. The old unofficial fonts is just little better, but not full enough - some symbols are missing, and using idential from english fonts (i.e. - symbols "A","B" and some others) - this is not comfortable for work - I must change ceyboard layout every time to set the correct symbol - this is so tiresomely.......... :cry:

Perhaps, I must somehow modify the fonts by myself...

Somebody, help me plese again................. :(

I will need more time to figure this out. But when I replaced the unofficial russian font tag with the m3 russian font tag, it didn't work out. It showed a bunch of messed up characters.

For now just make text files with the actual translations. Once we get it figured out you can then copy/paste the text into the tags.

Yes, I will, but there is something else... When I copied correct text from Fear into the Notepad, it also shows that stupid symbols, not the real text - in any type of fonts.

I think, when we will try paste text from Note to the Fear, it will be again. In which kind of fonts working the Fear text editor? There is no any configures of fonts and encryption of text :?

But this is not a real problem, I can just type it by hands - this is not the hard part.

Found something interesting while translating...

In Fallen Levels v.2 - read the Narrators journal. First level, Crow Bridge, is marked Wednesday 3 August. The next writing is marked... the Tuesday, 5 August !

How is that can be? Some kind of mistake, or another Date calculation system?

Yeah, it is an old TFL mistake. Some of the translated TFLs don't have this issue. They have the Crow's Bridge journal entry happen on a Sunday.

As I heard, there is a some unused prelevel pictures in TFL, not a usual maps. Can I make them visible for the game?

For use with TFL itself, probably not, but if you were updating The Fallen Levels plugin to a Russian version, with some effort, you could definitely include them.

Well, I am still workig on the texts, but at the same time i am trying to make usable fonts for game.

Fear is incorrect in importing simple cyrillic fonts - some glyphs are dropped, the other change their meaning, some is remain correct.

I think, there is three solution of this.

First - to fix Fear somehow. (Yeah, this is most awesome)

The other is make my own fonts, replacing unusable english glyphs by needed. But what then to do with cyrillic glyphs, that remains in the font table, but loss their meaning - i dont know. I am still working on this version, using the FontCreator, but with no result.

And the third is to somehow import official M3 cyrillic fonts into system, and use them from Word, perhaps, to typing text, and then place them to Fear.

I dont know, what version can be realizable, but I am in doubt
