FF8/FileFormat TDW

By myst6re.

font

For the field, this is a file for the japanese PSX version only, it adds text characters. In the PC version, the file sysfnt.tdw in main.fs is used to know the width of each character, the texture part is not used (you can find the used texture in sysfnt.tex in menu.fs).

Offset	Size	Data
0	4 bytes	Offset to widths (always 8)
4	4 bytes	Offset to data
offsetWidths	offsetData - offsetWidths	Character widths
offsetData	varies	Texture (TIM)

Character widths

Each width is 4 bits (two widths per byte).

Texture

Texture is a TIM file with 8 colors: dark grey, grey, yellow, red, green, blue, purple and white.

TODO: Explain the palette mechanism in japanese version (16 pal instead of 8).
