    Having trouble with your in-game font? Font being too squished or too far apart for your RM2K3 game? Then you have come to the right place!

    I have written this guide to help you fix this problem that MANY of you guys have been DYING to fix!

    Please take note that most font patches for RM2K3 will NOT work!

    First off I should bold this and enlarge it: The solution to this problem IS ALREADY IN YOUR FILES located at the SAME folder as the RM2K3 setup!!!!!!!!

    | If the In-Game Fonts Don't Look Right... |
    +------------------------------------------+

    If the in-game fonts appear squishy and the letters run together, try the following steps, in order, to solve the problem:

    1. Install the "msgothi0.ttc" and "msmincho.ttc" fonts by copying them from the fonts directory included in the installation to the \windows\fonts directory and double-clicking on them. See if the fonts look correct now.

    2. If the step above didn't work, install the "RM2000.fon" and "RMG2000.fon" font files into windows\fonts as described above (note that installing these files isn't necessary if you already have RPG Maker 2000 installed), then copy the "RPG_RT.exe.dat" file included in the fonts directory over the one in the main application directory (the same directory as the RPG2003.exe file). Create a new project and see if the fonts look correct in that new project.

    TIP: I have been told that downloading Japanese language support for Internet Explorer makes the fonts used for method #1 work reliably. Try it and see.

    NOTE: If you have to use method #2 above to fix the fonts, projects you created before performing the fix will not be fixed. You must copy the RPG_RT.exe file from the new project over the one in your existing project(s).

    Now that wasn't so hard was it?
