So, as far as I understand, you want to make a Korean translation of SMRPG but found yourself incapable of fitting all possible Hangul characters in the character set available?

I don't think it will be straightforward or even possible (if a lot of layer 3 character space is used up by other things) to fit every character separately.
I think the best approach here - which SMRPG's present variable-width font rendering system might, in fact, already support, based on how its rendering is done - would be to create separate characters for each jamo in each possible position (i.e. have a character being a ㄹ in the top left corner, one character being a ㄹ at the bottom, one character being a ㅑ in the top right corner etc.) and have only the last character actually advance the rendering position, thus having each Hangul character being represented by a series of multiple characters, each standing for one of the jamo; you could compare this to how modern unicode standards allow forming letters like â as a combination of a "zero-width" ^ and an a.

Of course, assuming that Lazy Shell won't allow you to tinker around with SMRPG's rendering code to that degree, you'll most likely have to write the font tables yourself or even change the SMRPG VWF renderer's code (if it uses destructive rather than additive rendering); in other words, you will likely have to do some programming or even assembly hacking.

Yes, I understand what your problem is.

I will try to ask a Korean friend of mine to translate a rough outline of my previous post.

You actually manage to translate SMRPG?

I'm impressed!

Just as Blackhole says...

I believe it requires ASM to completely do the rendering. By the way, have you tried increasing the font size? From 8px, increase it to 12px and see what happens.
