3. Hm...I've got like 500 different fonts on my main HDD, so I would give it a try to change the in-game font with a more "fantasy" themed one.

Of course if the devs will allow it someday. [I guess we won't be able to change it in the vanilla game...at least "not for modders" makes me think that]
Don't get me wrong. It's not about allowing or not.
The in-game fonts have to be pre-rendered and whatever with 2 different programs to be fed to the game engine in a way it could use them.

No way to simply drop in a true type font .. and no way for the devs to try out 500 fonts We tested half a dozend, and Johan was somewhat reluctant to do that, because it was quite some extra work.

Acutally, we found that the font has to be bold and serife-less to result in easily readable text. More fancy fonts -and we even tried the one from Dom 1- only result in worse rendered, partially hard to read characters.
