Ok, i will :)

So, i made up a program MotoFont Editor to edit Motorola fonts! It's a beta-version for testing yet, since formats of different langpacks differ slightly.

It radically differs from other ones due to it's ability to edit the font itself instead of replacement of satndard symbols with custom ones. This allows to perform the real edition of the font including width and heght of the symbols. Aslo it allows to replace the moto font with some Windows one. Program is only in english a the moment.

Theoretically you can edit any lang except langs for 3G phones like v1000 or v3x (there is used simple TTF).

I have no time to write full manual, so i will explain only most important aspects.
When the lang is opened (shx, bin and smg files are suppoted), all sets of the langpack with brief description appear in the bottom of the table and to the right apeear all symbols of the selected set. Once selected, the symbol can be edited. The adjustment of the width or height of one symbol causes the adjustment of the height or width of all the symbols of the set.
In order to replace the font with the one from Windows do the following:
1. In the Menu Processing->Select Windows Font chose the font and it's properties like width and height. It's recommended but not necessary that these values are not higher than the respective ones of the initial font. If the height of the selected font is higher, you have to chose the smaller size of the font or chose the bigger height in the menu Processing->Set height sets.
2. In the table select the symbols you want to replace (preferably all).
3. Processing->Replace Chosen symbols. THen wait untill symbols are replaced. All the progress will be seen. Symbols absent in Windows won't be replaced.
4. After that it's recommended to apply Processing->Optimize chosen symbols on width. This will prevent large spaces between letters.
5. Now you can save the lang: File->Save langpack and then install it.

Since it's beta, please inform me of possible bugs, mentioning vesions of the langpack and firmware.
