The Font is Poo Poo !
It is too closely placed , and I for 1 cant read it Half the time.
Most of us play at night in a low light room , not at Noon in a fully Lit Office .
And it would be nice to get a low audiable when we get a PM.
If you cant give us a Font Choise can you maybee space it out a Lil ?

While not exactly in his words, I do agree somewhat with Tashazar's somewhat oddly worded appraisal of Vendetta's font. It is nice for some, but not so nice for others. Perhaps now would be a good time to swap out the hardcoded standard font for something more modular?

a1k0n is currently working on this. Here's proof: http://www.a1k0n.net/vendetta/fonts

But that's just a table of possible fonts. I don't know about font choice either.

How about Microgramma Bold Extended??? Bring back the good ol days! :)

Seriously, I like Georgia a lot--very similar feel to Times but just different enough to make it appealing. I don't like any of the sans serif fonts up on that page, but I'd vote for Helvetica Neue Condensed IMHO.

But then, font is very much a matter of taste.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with the original poster. That's why I wrote better font rendering code last week.

Today's patch will have the improved font rendering code. I'm going with Trebuchet Bold for now, because it's the most readable one I could come up with at very small sizes. I'll make my scripts to convert them into textures available and then you can try your own fonts with a config option.

I also find Georgia very appealing, by the way, although the numbers look too funky in the game.

go a1k0n.

ah, the old school font. Beautiful.

Yeah, I agree about the numbers for the Georgia font. What if you combined the numbers from Times with the rest of the Georgia font?

a1k0n, thank you **so** much. what do you think of allowing us to replace the sound files in the game as well? they sound kind of low-bit-rate-ish to me...

Thank you for listening a1k0n
