How can I edit Romance of the three kingdom XI and insert Persian font in it? I need something like "Tile Layer Pro". I want to change its English font and insert Persian font. Is it possible? Please be kind and help me. Cheesy

You don't. You have to modify a line in the executable that points to a standard Windows font. Unless the game uses it's own font, then you have to track down where the font is stored and make your own font.

Do you mean I have to edit  RTKXI.exe? If so how? With Resource Hacker or what? Please be more generous!  Roll Eyes

Open the executable up in a hex editor and look for the line with the font name.

You'll want to change that to a Persian font.

This isn't necessarily true. Many PC games do use graphical fonts.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms definitely uses graphics for a lot of its text.
Not all of it, though, I'd think. But it tends to use rather stylized text for some things, so...

Most PC games use the fonts installed in your "windows\\fonts" folder but as Sara-chan pointed out, some games use their own font format instead (Tokimeki Memorial comes to mind).

Assuming the former, I recommend you load RTKXI.exe in a debugger (OllyDbg for instance) and find the respective WIN32 API call which is responsible for loading the font: CreateFont() or CreateFontIndirect().
