Thanks Caws, I really appreciate your work!

You can actually unpack the fontfile and the strings with WRS's Final Version #2 BMS-script using QuickBMS . Fire up your command prompt and type: quickbms.exe sds_bmsbywrs_v2.txt text_default.sds C:\path_for_stuff_youd_like_to_extract_things_blah\ You'll get 4 files (00000000.NEO 00000001.dat 00000...
