Is it possible to change the font and size on a locomotive repaint? I would like to use dcsv file to generate the numbers with a specific font style and size.
from this to this
Just curious as it would mean one repaint with numerous road numbers.
Easier to share less locos to store on disk
Anyway thanks for any assistance
Pete

Sure. It's near impossible to change the spacing but to change the font and the size just go in and change each texture number to what you desire.

It's not the dcvs file. All that does is tell you what the numbers used. In most of these the numbers are individual texture files (one for each number)in the Textures\numbers folder. In the SS JRSD40-2 they are just in the Textures folder.

So I mostly got this working, except the numbers come out faint even though I repainted them solid white?

With number decals, in fact any decal, you miss out the middle (Dx) step both ways. So you export the decal, open it from that export in paint.net, do whatever save in paint.net and then go straight to RSbin and import. Then finally save as in the numbers file.
