GFD is file storing character definitions and probably coordinates.
TEX is compressed texture file.
Check those links for reference

After converting TEX to DDS you can view them with IrfanView

and edit with GIMP + DDS Plugin.
You can see some image in TEX file in texture cooker

Thanks for reply
I Know how to edit and recreate Tex file
But my problem is I need to add like 100 new char to game font, so I can't just replace some existing char with new one, I need to create new font, i found some useful information about gfd file in this site
https://sigyn.tistory.com/6 -
with google translate to english. its explain gfd file format
Character (red box)
Character position (green box)
Character size (blue box)
Offset-character size deviation (orange box)
but becuse i dont have much experiment with these stuff, i cant create a tool by myself
i think its possible to create a new bitmap font with BMFont, then somehow convert BMfont char mapping (xml file) to GFD but i dont know how
can anyone help?
thanks
