Fonts

Page history last edited by Andreas Jirenius 3 yrs ago

I have added 2 types of fonts and are trying to get permission to use "SpaceAge" as it is my favourite among those two.

Please give me some comments about the fonts or suggestions to use anything else.

(I'm mostly focusing the menutext now)

 

*EDIT: Justin Callaghan, the author of Spaceage has given us full permission to use his font freely.

 

Preview:

Two different sizes of the fonts can be found in this bundle.

fonts worked great. i really have no preference either way as i like both. i will go with spaceage for now.

just found out that the font system in Irrlicht can use PNG format. this is way smaller than the BMPs so once we finalize the font, lets have PNG be the format. also, once the final decision is made, if you could create several sizes of the font in seperate files. the HUD will more than likely use these fonts as well so we need a good range of sizes.

thanks :)

Ok, will make a huge set of *.png's (we can sort out the not needed later on) but I'm still wondering if we can use the same font in the HUD. Yes it will keep an overall theme but is the font good for it.. actually at the moment I dont know if we even need so much text in the hud (well maybe the playernames).
Things that needs to be in the HUD will mostly be icons and digits. Lets experiment and see what we come up too.

I've made a bunch of Fonts in *.png format now overwriting the old bundle.
