Vendetta Font
Before I go ahead and finish what I started... has anyone else created the Vendetta font yet ?
it has been, but the links are down. So yes, please do make the font. Also, could you make it for mac too if you aren't already :D
errmm Mac ? Big ?
it will be a ttf will be done for windows, not sure if compatible for anything else....

TTF is fine for OS X.
There's also a Vendetta Chat font around. I have it on my computer. Someday perhaps I'll either find the original or upload it.
Rogue, that's the first of the fonts listed at the location Moofed linked to.
I kinda miss the old Vendetta chat font. Even if it's less readible it still seems to fit more with the game's user interface, IMO.
Ok , so a TTF font ( not the caligraphy one ) as per the manual doesn't yet exist... ( caligraphy one I find a little hard to read)
I still think there should be the option to select ( even if limited selection ) font and font size for the text in game

There's two fonts that the VO-wiki has links to download (see Moofed's link), the GTSCalligraphic one, and the Vendetta_Chat font. I really like them both. Does the Vendetta_Chat one look readable to you?
A1k0n has said he plans on adding font configuration to the game, see: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/3/7680#90521

Beolach, the GTSCalligraphic is a little hard to read, and the vendetta chat is the full alphabet, therefore incorrect, what I am planning to do is create the fonts as shown on the web, so the same as GTSCalligraphic but more readable when displayed. From what I have seen my set will be different to the other two. Just need to find the time to convert them, will post when I get it completed.
The Vendetta_Chat font includes both the latin character set, and the full GTS/Waylonics character set (and parts of other character sets). Here: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/9/8425 you can see some examples of it in action (if you have it installed, and are using Unicode UTF-8 encoding, and your browser is intelligent enough to use the proper font).
Here's the symbols for "Fast Ship" in the Vendetta_Chat font:

Then I suppose I have 3 different fonts. I have a GTS (non calligraphic) font, the GTS calligraphy font, and a Vendetta Chat font that doesn't have support for the Vendetta Chat charset. Odd. :P
Where are the symbols for "Fast enough for you, old man"?
Maybe. I haven't studied GTS enough to be sure if that's right. But I'm sure Kenobi would understand it.
BTW, does anyone happen to have an archive of the GTS Translation Team's stuff, off the old vo-gate site's forum?

All those translations are based on what we'd found out (before the devs told us what the letters were). I believe we were told what the "damn" sign meant. Incorrectly. :/

Miharu has made a sectoin in the wiki dealing with how to write/read GTS as well as pictures of examples if your interested in the GTS, as well as the links to the fonts. Also, if you review the upload log on the wiki you can download individule letters of the alphabet as well as the symbles for work in fontographer or whatever it is that's used these days for font generation.
