Yeah, there are couple i know:
Quake 3 Font Changer http://myhannes.info/page/software.htm
Easy to use gui based software to replace font for scoreboard, center print, player’s name popup.
It doesn’t change font everywhere, neither creates fonts with font metrics for proper glyph drawing.
Q3Font http://www.wolffiles.de/index.php?filebase&fid=1868
Console based software, that converts ttf into .dat(font metrics) and .tga(bit map), used to create proper ET fonts, also could be used to replace fonts for ui and hud(partly scoreboard, popup text, chat, etc).
ETLegacy https://dev.etlegacy.com/projects/etlegacy/wiki/How_to_use_FreeType
You could use etlegacy to generate .dat and .tga files out of .ttf or .otf that could be used to generate proper ET fonts.
If you plan to replace fonts you would need to replace:
- gfx/2d/bigchars.tga
- fonts/ariblk_[16, 27] sizes
- fonts/courbd_[21, 30] sizes
This could all be done using Q3Font for instance.
