Description
The default Asobo 787 uses Arial as a font inside the cockpit. It is not as obvious as the 747 (where the wrong fonts are really noticeable) but nevertheless I cannot ignore it after having noticed it. I have therefore replaced them with a font that more closely resembles the font on the actual plane.
The font on the MCP should be thinner and larger, and slightly different from other places such as the overhead. The sizes of some decals are also not completely accurate to real life. However, fixing them all was not possible to do with the current decal system that MSFS uses without making the work much more difficult.
I have tried my best to work with the current system to better reproduce the font in the real aircraft.
RECOMMENDED TEXTURE RESOLUTION: HIGH OR HIGHER
You can find the version for the -8 here.

1. There are two folders in your MSFS Packages folder. Go to your MSFS Official folder, NOT the Community folder (ex. Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\)

2. Navigate to Official\OneStore\ or Official\Steam\
3. Navigate to asobo-aircraft-b787-10\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_B787_10\TEXTURE\
4. Back up these four files:
- 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS1_ALBD.TIF.dds
- 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS1_EMIS.TIF.dds
- 787_10_COCKPIT_TEXTS3_ALBD.TIF.dds

Hi. These fonts are awesome! But the white illumination light in the MCP is missing. Please fix that. Otherwise superb!

Hi! Thanks. What do you mean by the white illumination lights?

The white light when buttons are pressed in the MCP is missing. You can compare the original emis.tif.dds file with yours to see the difference :)

Realistic font mod for default Boeing 787-10
The default Asobo 787 uses Arial as a font inside the cockpit. I have replaced them with a font that more closely resembles the font on the actual plane. The font on the MCP should be thinner and larger, and slightly different from other places such as the overhead. However, this was not possible to do with the current decal system that MSFS uses without making the work much more difficult. I have tried my best to work with the current system to better reproduce the font in the real aircraft. This should also work for the Kuro 787-8 with the file names renamed accordingly, except maybe with the flap speed limit placard from 787-10. I will upload a version for the 787-8 soon.

Realistic font mod for Kuro Boeing 787-8
Based on my mod for the 787-10 here, I have created a mod for the 787-8 with its flap restrictions. The default Asobo 787 uses Arial as a font inside the cockpit. It is not as obvious as the 747 (where the wrong fonts are really noticeable) but nevertheless I cannot ignore it after having noticed it. I have therefore replaced them with a font that more closely resembles the font on the actual plane.
