The newest lng is in the patch_01_shared.vfx/vfs0 file
Unpack it with rengareng or iOrange tool
Edit it with rengareng tool
Make a folder eg: "patch" and put there without subfolders
Use my script to insert it, select patch_01_shared.vfx, then patch folder, rename the NEW vfx file, backup original

For font:
They are in the content files
Unpack them with rengareng tool then convert them to dds with Prodnik a1tt tool
Or save them directly as dds with iOrange tool
Edit them eg with Paint.NET and DDS FileType Plus plugin
Save as BC7 (Linear, DX 11+) Generate Mip Map
Cut the first 148 byte
Compress it with LZ4.exe best mode
Cut first 11 and last 8 byte from the compressed file
You can use my dds helper to do these 3 step above if you not familiar with hex editor
Rename to original name
Make a folder eg: "content" and put there without subfolders
Use my script to insert them, select content.vfx, then content folder, rename the NEW vfx file, backup original

Are there any detailed instructions on how to add new font characters to Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux? I want to edit the Russian textures to add support for the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, which, compared to Russian, has six more letters:
Љ Њ Ј Ћ Џ Ђ

I've tried using iOrange's program, but it only seems to have functionality for editing existing letters, not adding new ones. Any pointers?
