Font for card descriptions

Post by missalexis »

Hello,

I'm getting on a bit in age ;)...and find the font for the card descriptions *very* hard to read unlike the rest of the fonts in the application which I can read without difficulty. Is there a way to replace that font with another one? I'm referring to the text that appears when you hit triangle (^).

Thank you.

Alright, but what about the fonts?

Yep, absolutely! Any bitmap font editor can probably be made to work, but the one at http://www.lmnopc.com/bitmapfontbuilder/ is what we use. This is where, unfortunately, you'll need to do a little graphics editing. Font textures should be PNG format with transparent background. Then, the image is divided into 256 cells... 16 rows and 16 columns; each cell represents a single character. For simon, these cells should be 11 pixels high, meaning your texture should be 176 pixels high. The other two fonts want characters 16 pixels high, meaning your texture should be 256 pixels high. Just look at the original font textures as reference.
Hope this helps
