Learner Report post Posted March 28, 2006 The original fontv.bmp that was built to be clean and simple just needs the non-ascii at the end fixed. The person that did the first version didn't worry about trying to put the right characters there. This fontv.bmp was also tuned to reduce the ailiasing effect and optimized more for being used as a smaller font, but it very hard to read on light background. If someone feels like fixing the non-ascii in the same simple style, that would be handy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted March 28, 2006 ahh..the mystery of the fontv.bmp error. Does this file come from the actual library? I mean like it came by default with the programming stuff you used in the code to add fonts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted March 28, 2006 ahh..the mystery of the fontv.bmp error. Does this file come from the actual library? I mean like it came by default with the programming stuff you used in the code to add fonts? FontV.bmp, the font used for initial testing of variable width fonts. There is also a font width table built in to match it as well. But, that system needs to be extended to be able to load in different width tables as well.

Guest stalag Report post Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) Yeah..someone should extend support to ISO 8859-1 (latin-1) cuz it sucks written always badly our own language; like à ã is missing . Edited March 28, 2006 by stalag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drakos7 Report post Posted March 28, 2006 I stil would like to see truetype font support (perhaps using SDL_ttf). Then more languages could be supported and people could choose their own fonts. Perhaps I will pick this up again when I am done with the spells interface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I am a linux user, but I think TTF is going to be our best bet as it is supported across all 3 major systems (win/mac/*nix). There is no way I am going to code up for more than one. Not worth the time, especially when the SDL_ttf library exists already, and there are so many free TTF fonts that support other languages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulrih Report post Posted March 28, 2006 Yeah..someone should extend support to ISO 8859-1 (latin-1) cuz it sucks written always badly our own language; like à ã is missing . For me it sucks more that the some chars from ISO 8859-2 are not supported... Anyway, Entropy posted somwhere that it is not possible to support these (non-latin-1) characters with the current server code... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brasero Report post Posted April 2, 2006 Have added Gothic font to my download list. http://www.armuco.ch/ablog/index.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted April 2, 2006 Ok first off I really like these fonts and would like you to fix them up some so they can be included in the download. Here are a few things I noticed: font5 -Fix the registration on some letters. For instance, the y is a little too far to the left, I think the s might be too..there are others so look for them and fix them. Try to make them all in the center no matter what letters are around them. Make sure no letters are cut off too. font6 -Fix the registration again. -the @ is chopped off, too far to the left -the # looks like an f. Now, that might be how the font is, but we can have it look like that so you must make it a # sign. -The right side of the W is cut off font7 -Fix registration -@, % B, M, Q, R, W are cut off to the right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brasero Report post Posted April 8, 2006 Font5 Font6 Font7 have been updated,. Missing chars added and clipped chars have been centered. Some chars are also easier to read. http://www.armuco.ch/ablog/index.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
