You can be sure that it's compressed. xc ---> engine's name(look dlls in game's dir). and pk means packed, i think. So the combination is xcpk for those font files. While i was looking the ExE, i saw a good hint about the fonts. xcFont.dds ==> filename that i saw in memory strings. So that means our font file has a dds and charlist i think. But need to find out what algo is using to compress the font file.

More interesting: When you delete or rename, sl2fnt.dat file, game is using default fonts from windows (i think...)
Maybe you can figure this out.

Edit; Yeah, sure! It's using Windows/Fonts/arial.tff for default font.

Can you find any way to save the xcfont.dds or uncompress the font file?

And if i delete the sl2fnt.dat file,the fonts on my chinese winxp is very strange.
It seems just show a part of the fonts.
Can you post a screenshot of the default font on your system?(I think it's english version winxp.)

The last question,how do you know the game using Windows/Fonts/arial.tff ?
I want to translate the game ,how could i do?

Q:Can you find any way to save the xcfont.dds or uncompress the font file?

A:I really don't have enough time to make that happen.I need to analyze the extraction codes in a debugger.Animations,Models are packed with xc engine.Sounds,music,images are not packed, simplely xor'ed bytes.

Q:Can you post a screenshot of the default font on your system?

A:Here it is, it's using arial.tff.


Q:How do you know the game using Windows/Fonts/arial.tff ?

A:First of all, i look at the codes with a debugger. Then, i simplely deleted the arial.tff font from Windows/Fonts. After i deleted the font, it selected another default font from Windows/Fonts.

I hope, i could be able to help you with your questions.
