You can have proportionally spaced fonts anyway with aes 4.1, so a standard
resource editor should support them (or will when it's next updated), all you
need is to write a handler to support them on older aes versions. IIRC
Interface already supports a number of extended objects for use with some of
the German dialogue libraries.

I might have a go. Mine would use standard resource files, with the extended
types used for special objects. I would use the same extended types as
interface despite not having it :)
