USING A CUSTOM FONT IN RM2K3

CloseI've been searching around quite a bit and haven't been able to find any reliable instructions on how to create a custom font that RM2k3 will display correctly, or how to install it. I'm not talking about fixing the garbled font issue, I mean creating or downloading an entirely new font, and then making the game use it.
A few people linked a font changer made by Cherry, but I can't seem to use it right, as it gives an error every time I try to change the font.
So basically, what are the specifications for the fonts that RM2k3 uses in the even that I want to make my own, and how do I get the game to use either it, or a downloaded custom font? I haven't found any decent tutorials on this so far. How do I know if a downloaded font will be usable in Rm2k3?
Also, if anyone knows where I could find free license fonts online that are compatible with RM2k3, (none of the sites I've looked at so far have had any, it doesn't help that there are thousands and I don't know which will and won't work,) that would help too.

thanks for the link, but with that method, doesn't this mean that it would only work on my computer?
I'd have to include the font file with the game, and if I did that, wouldn't it also end up replacing the RM2000 font on the computer of everyone that downloads it? Maybe I'm wrong, though.

The best way to do this is to open RPG_RT.exe up with a hex editor, find the two strings that have the font names, and then edit the strings to the name of your new font(s).
As far as I know from some limited experimenting, doing this has a few limitations you need to abide by:
1. The font has to be monospaced.
2. I can't confirm, but for best results I suggest only using .fon fonts and not TrueType or OpenType fonts.
3. The font has to reside in your (or the player's) Windows\Fonts directory.

You can also use the tool AutoFontInstall. This way, the player doesn't need to put the font into the fonts directory.

Hey guys! I'm new here, but does anyone have the "Brasington font package"? That link, "brasington.celestialbridge.net/gamefonts.zip", is dead at all... I'm quite looking forward to these great fonts for RPGM2003!

I've been trying to find a working link to that font package for years.
