This mod replaces the big and small alphabetical fonts with a serif font. It was created because I wanted to play The X-Com Files but I felt the default font didn't fit the mood.
There will undoubtedly be alignment issues or cut off text. The font is wider. I'm sure someone could make a more condensed or squished font or remove some of the serifs to reclaim some space. Feel free to do that.
I made some stylistic choices that I'm sure some people might not like, but I also had to draw some characters that I haven't seen much or used, so I'm not sure how legible some characters will be. I'm also extremely unhappy with how the diacritics came out, especially in the small font.

PNG files used as a template and reference. Characters mostly redrawn but using some of the same heightlines or other reference. Mod folder structure used as guidance.
The first pass of English letters was done by looking at an "X-Files font" obtained by searching Google Images, then further refinements and additional characters were done by using Tinos and Times New Roman as reference.
Work was done on Linux over four-ish days using LibreSprite after some initial work done with the GNU Image Manipulation Program, and was tested mostly on the Android version of OXCE.
