Hello! I apologize in advance if my first post being one where I ask for advice violates anything or if my question is redundant. Please let me know if so.

I am currently trying to translate Touhou Mystic Square into Arabic. I am aware that only editing text is probably far easier by using THCrap nut according to their wiki they do not support PC-98 games. I am going for the hack-ish method that won't work on real hardware (editing the font then rewriting hex) because I am not very experienced in these kinds of things. I looked through an old thread with lots of valuable information here: https://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php?topic=19048.msg1368916#msg1368916

and used MysticTK to extract the data: http://lunarcast.net/mystictk.php

The thread mentioned editing the game's custom font (ZUN.COM) using yy-chr however it doesn't seem to display anything but jumbled pixels. I've tried other graphic editors and the same thing occurs. It seems to be common among the other pc-98 games. I assume this means the format is either compressed or not supported by the editors I used. I am asking if anyone has any experience with editing this file in particular and if I am missing something. I have not found any data regarding how it is compressed or seen any personal edits of it. I dont know what to do next  :cirnotan: thank you in advance and apologize if I make any grammar/spelling mistakes. English is difficult

In order to better envision the issue, since your written explanati9n is good. enough, could you please upload some examples of the "extracted Mystic Square 's images data alongside the jumbled/failed of the edited custom-fojt (ZUN.COM)

Thank you in advance.

ZUN.COM looks like this in yy-chr

I think it is an executable rather than a custom font, but I am not sure. The other .BFT files display this

I didn't edit them so nothing in-game has changed, but it looks like the dialog text uses the system font (FONT.ROM). I was editing the wrong half of it so I made a small change to test it. 
What I can't find is the sidebar text (bombs, players) and the font used in the menu. In Touhou 2 these were stored in mikoft.bft

Spoiler:
Unrelated, but I think there's an issue with MysticTk's repacking. The repacked .dat is ~5kb larger than the original which corrupts the score screen
