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).

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