File Formats

Arena

Arena uses .dat files to store font information. ArenaFont within ArenaSuite is a good tool to view and edit.

Daggerfall

Daggerfall uses .fnt files to store font information, but not like the conventional use of the format. Daggerfall Font Editor is a good tool to view and edit the fonts.

Morrowind

Morrowind uses .tex and .fnt files to store font information. The .tex image file stores the all of the characters, while the .fntfile - unconventionally - stores the position, size, and other various information of each character in the image. FontReader is a good tool to view and save the fonts.

Oblivion

Similarly to Morrowind, Oblivion uses .tex and .fnt files within Oblivion - Misc.bsa to store font information. The .tex image file stores the all of the characters, while the .fnt file - unconventionally - stores the position, size, and other various information of each character in the image. Bethesda Archive Extractor is a good tool to open the .bsa and Oblivion Font Editor is a good tool to view and save the fonts.

Skyrim

Skyrim's fonts are compiled within .swfs within Skyrim - Interface.bsa. Bethesda Archive Extractor is a good tool to open the .bsa and JPEXS is a good tool to decompile an .swf and export a font as a .ttf.
