I know that in Shadow Warrior, the red font used for the menu occupies tilerange #3706-3741. However, there's only letters and numbers, but no special chars like ",;.:'-/%?!" like in the Duke3D redfont. That is, they seem to exist since they are used e.g. in the "No Pain, No Gain" difficulty.

Does anybody know which are the tilenums for those characters? I cannot find them in the .art files for some reason. Are they taken from another font with red palette or what?

I see. There is no comma in the original version ("No Pain No Gain"), actually. Looks like they took some artistic liberties here.

What about the small font used on the episode selection screen (e.g. "Eighteen levels..."), then? Does it use a specific palette or why can't I cover it with the highres fonts provided by Classic Redux?

I believe it's the font found at 4608-4701 with a different palette

Yeah well, I see what the chars look like. I tried all pals from 0 to 30, apparently it was none of them. Can it go any higher? And after all, if a highres replacement for a letter is defined, but not for the right pal, it should still use pal 0 as fallback.
