Anno 1503 Fonts and zei files

Hey everyone!
Is there any possible way to edit fonts of the game?
I want to translate the game, but those fonts don't support some symbols and I would like to add those.
Can I do it somehow?
Thanks

And what are .zei files? I was able to load another language in the game by adding a bunch of those like HelpNormal.zei, MainMedium.zei and so on.

Thank you!

Short answer: might be a lot of work

The fonts are encoded as images in the "zei" files, including most characters from the Windows-1252 set (see my screenshot).

How so? IIRC translations are stored in Texte.dat (which is a plain text file).
