How to reproduce the font of Lost mine of Phandelver's map?

Good morning! I am currently preparing a Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign and I would like to translate the name of the locations on the maps into my language but they are considered tokens and therefore cannot be modified. I first wanted to use the text tool offered by roll20 to replace them but the rendering is not at all the same (less visible, no transparency effect,...) Does anyone know how to reproduce this font? Thank you!

This is the font used for most WotC maps: Mentor Std You won't be able to use the font directly on Roll20, but you can use it with applications like Photoshop or Gimp (free) to make nameplates. If you are looking for template files, you can check out my Reddit post here that links to a bunch of pre-made map items.
I have already tried to use Gimp and I was able to create nameplates but nothing convincing with my knowledge of the software. Guess I'll have to watch some tutorials! Thanks for you answer. You did an amazing work on the Sword Coast map by the way!

Ooh, my bad, I didn't see it in the files! That is  exactly  what I need but when I open it, it doesn't keep the text highlighted and i find it really important to keep the texte visible on a map.  For example, how do you do this font?
