Pre-release font?

Jan 21, 2005 tramshed link
I was lookin at some of the screenshots and I must say, the font in them pwns the font we have now. Option please, hehe. It would be nice to let us choose the font too, ive got some uber spiffy fonts which would make vendetta sexy. Im sure that would be a lot more work than just makin a toggle for that font in the screenshots though.

Actually, the new font has an interesting side effect. Fonts are now rentered by FreeType, which means that any TrueType font could be used. A few months ago, a1k0n was working on a configuration screen to enable the switching of fonts. If and when such a screen was implimented, it would be child's play to use the old font (which can be gotten as a TTF- I use it for some stuff).

While on the subject of fonts, what about being able to type GTS in-game? It would give me an excuse to re-memorize it.

although the font should only be userr sided...

Meaning if you type in babylon5 fontstyle you and you alone should see it in that style. But that will probably be already in it...

Of course it would be userside. How else would it work? Making everyone download everyone else's TTF fonts? That would introduce the possibility of a viral attack.
