FFF Font files Opening, apps? [Solved]

Has anyone had any success viewing (outside the game) and opening the FFF font files in the data_ABC/common/fonts folder? I'm thinking of making a hud mod, specifically one that looks as close as possible to the old SWBF1 stuff, and the fonts are on the list of things to change.

Do we have the old fonts from SWBF1?

You can go to BF2_ModTools\ToolsFL\bin and click on FontEdit.exe to view/edit them yourself.

I'm working on trying to put my new fonts in right reqs/directory, but in the meantime, I found this to be interesting:
Data_abc/common/fonts/Readme.txt
Hidden/Spoiler:
This is the definition of the fonts in this directory. Please update when changing fonts.

Use the program 'ToolsFL/bin/FontEdit.exe' to create them.
1) Run 'ToolsFL/bin/FontEdit.exe'
2) Go to Font -> Capture, enter params, hit OK.
3) File -> Save, set filename, and file type to .FFF
4) Go to step 2 if desired.
5) munge (mungecs will be faster, as it only does common & shell)

I think AmarilloUSAF is SWBF's font.... the one I found didn't look exactly right though.
