I've seen Droolie's Rayman 2 font used many-a-times outside here, heck, I've used them myself.

Hey there, welcome to Pirate-Community! You can introduce yourself here.
As for your question: you need to right-click on the link to the font you want to download. You don't need to click on the page, nor follow the link and click there, but you need to right-cick on the actual link. It should be in TTF format. Hope that helps :)

Did you right click the links and use the "save target as" option?

I'd like to do the translation installer for my language version of Rayman 2 PC, to
apply for English GOG version. I know that all in-game text dialogs are in
Rayman 2\Data\World\Levels\ all files instead LEVELS0.dat
But, where I should looking for font to my language version? It's different.
When I apply my files, type shows german characters.
Where is type file in game files?
Thank you.

Can you explain a bit better, you wanna translate your game or you wanna extract font?

I have to put ready translate (fix.sna.. etc. files) to other version of game, but I need also a place where is fonts, because they are different in both versions, and they need to be replaced to view correct characters.
I don't need extract fonts. Just where they are.
One file I guess.

The fonts are textures. Each letter and each number is a different texture. You would have to extract them from TEXTURES.CNT.

There's already textures in Rayman 2 for almost every version of the Roman alphabet imaginable. Unless you're trying to translate the game to Arabic, there should be no problem displaying text in your language. I've come across umlauts, circumflexes, cedilles, æ, ø, and more like those when browsing the font textures.

Yes, this textures with special characters may exist in every version of Rayman, but it's not the same file. Different checksums, but same size.
It's just matter of replace textures.cnt, unless indeed it may contain same characters, but maybe in different order, so game displays wrong characters, maybe I don't know. Anyway, letters are fine now and thank you for help!

Precise location of the font textures:
Rayman Control Panel>Utilities>CNT Explorer>Textures.cnt>textures_alphabet>Import
>Polish fonts download (if your custom textures.cnt has broken fonts):
https://yadi.sk/d/OAtU9MtTnhjLIw
>mark and choose extracted folder textures_alphabet>wait>close>
Optionally if you changed texture resolution
Rayman 2>utilities>remove pirate head+synchronise


Offtopic
I don't know any way to comparise files from two sources, their differences to find different files from other source. If you understand.
I have to similar folders, i need find what files are different to theirselves.
Do you know something for it?

Windowed Mode fix

GOG version has f* up access to GXSetup which is responsible for settings. It's because some files is missing.
Just use my fix and get GXSetup back (run as admin) to set resolution,
install nGlide, and get also full screen back and better graphics.

Comparison tools of the like you describe are what programmers use to compare different builds to each other. They're awesome, but they're also costly. Expect software of around $40-60 to achieve what you want.

There is also this
http://winmerge.org/
but I don't know how effective it is at what it does.

Just for note, that isn't a word. The word you're looking for is compare.

A quick question : for my new job, I have to make a prospectus to present a kids activity, and I'd like to incorporate the R1 font because it's just the cutest thing and I think it'll fit just perfectly.

The question then, is it copyrighted by Ubisoft (or, for that matter, by anyone)?

Are you going to be selling anything, making any profits off of it? I'm sure it's fine either way. It's not like there's copyright legislation officers attending each and every meeting or presentation every Jack, Tom and Bob-o James-Ricky May Jameson give.

I'm curious as to why you're not so keen on Johnny Boston, Billy-Rick Thompson and Jimmy McCaw.
