I am making a picture (to hang on my wall) with all the characters you encounter in the game and I want to write their name under their portrait using the original fonts.

Because I didn't found Bloodnet's fonts anywhere, I've recreated them using an online font creator which saves a .ttf file.
After finishing writing in the text box in MS Paint, the letters take a smoothing effect, they're not sharp anymore.
What do I have to do for this to not happen?

Also does anyone have the Bloodnet world map original picture from the game or can be ripped out?

MS paint is a very basic tool for doing what you want. I don't think it has text filtering options, but I could be mistaken, I haven't used it in ages.

I would advise to use Photoshop. IIRC the CS2 version was free and it's a great tool all around. PS has options on how to filter text.

As for the map, I created it for my LP simply by using screenshots:

Does anyone have some saves with all the locations accessible on the world map?
And the game is the CD-ROm version? (this version has extra art)

If you want, I can try to upscale images so they become a higher resolution (using various different AI software). Can you upload a .zip file with some test images for me to try? Imgur will compress the images so it'd have to be a .zip file.

Here it is to play with it as you want. :)

My personal preference is to have sharp pixels

The format is not final. I want to attach to the right the world map art but I need to screengrab it but I don't want to spend 5 bucks on GOG because my disk is not working :)

Can you give me the individual portrait images themselves? Or just one of them?

I'm not sure how you add attachments, I think you have to be a patron?
Anyway, it seems like some faces ended up being decent, but others became deformed. The borders are a bit iffy too.
