AC uses bitmap image to display fonts, but this image contains only latin symbols, so you can't translate it into other language.
Also this image has much free space: 512x512 texture.
Recently I created small tool to generate bitmap fonts with 1-bit/Unicode/UTF-8 and very effective packing algorithm.
This generator can produce such texture:
![[Image: vYWxnbQ]](http://ompldr.org/vYWxnbQ)
or even
![[Image: vYWVtMA]](http://ompldr.org/vYWVtMA)
It's free and open-source. Project page:
http://github.com/scriptum/UBFG
You can create texture for each needed language and translate the game:)

TTF2Font can only pack latin symbols
TTF2Font doesn't trim glyphs
I know about this program. But font generator I offer produces smaller textures and suppport unicode.

Yeah dude, but your glyph trimming is exactly what will f*** up the font rendering. It
needs that "wasted" space. Did you ever try your textures in-game?
Oh, and you missed the most important feature off TTF2Font: it automatically creates the font config file.

Enough space of 1 pixel. Do not think that I offer not tested solution.

I have font config file too:) Of course it has different format due to different rendering technique.
