WAIT A SECOND, THAT DOESN'T QUITE LOOK RIGHT!



Due to the way Rockstar set the signs up, they pool from a common font texture instead of being printed on the sign itself as an overlay texture. Some issues, like letter kerning or width being off, or descenders being cut short, are to be expected due to this. Unfortunately, short of redoing every sign in ZModeller, it would be impossible to make it look exactly right. I apologise for any instances where this causes someone's OCD to act up. It might also cause this sort of silliness: http://i.imgur.com/Y1bvfnN.png



In addition to the above, a few roadsigns have the alphabet texture embedded within the YDR itself, so this sadly doesn't modify those – thus, even after installation, there'll be a few signs with the original Highway Gothic typeface. (I might have also missed one or two skimming through the RPFs.)



(Before anyone asks, yes: the above section means I cannot change the text on the signs at all.)
