I'm not the intended audience but that's looking good.

I spotted a slight typo: ENCUMBERANCE should be ENCUMBRANCE

Its nice, lets see where it takes us. If you can somehow consolidate all the fonts it will be a step forward Id say. But yea, some ppl will like the old fonts better, they might be horrible for some, but when it comes to esthetics, there is no right or wrong answers - its just personal opinions and preferences :)

I created a modified otf font of Imperator with some tweaked characters and numbers that reads better than the original. It creates a coherent look that was absent before. Also darkened the text backgrounds so all colors are more readable. Does the font still need to be converted to Daggerfall's internal format before it is usable?

Looks proper. Just the lower image has the small letters with more dark around them. The top image looks better in this specific case. At least it looks like that on my phone

I have a properly formatted .tga file, if I send it to you can you convert it to sdf?

Not sure at whom is it directed at, but I never did such a thing, no idea :X

Last sentence there is: If you run into any problems with the tutorial, please create a topic in Help & Support forum and I will try to assist.

So that might be the thing you will need to do eventually
