Readable default font mod
« on: October 08, 2011, 10:08:01 pm »
This is a tiny mod to improve readability, or maybe rather prevent some name trolling/imposting, by differentiating specific pairs of glyphs in the default font that are identical or too similar. Explanation for simpletons: it prevents tricks like Killgore and KiIlgore.

The fonts feels strange at first, like everything that we are used to and changed slightly. Any comments are welcome. I hesitated mostly about serifs in capital "i"...



Download:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3880395/Default.aaf

Installation:
Copy the Default.aaf file to data\fonts\ folder in your FOnline folder.

FAQ:
Q: This is no Falluot enymore!!!
A: Correct, it's not.

Thanks to:
WHINE Team, which will always be in my heart :3

Very nice, clean look + you can now identify all those ilililili chars (or at least it looks that it would be possible) :)

Damn I knew that one time this had to come. To be honest I use KeIin to keep identity on different (improved) char and until now it looked better than other possibilities (like .Kelin., -Kelin-, Kelin ll, Kelin mk2 etc.).

Anyway good job, I like the font itself, still considering using it though.

EDIT: I can't even launch the game when font installed. I've been looking forward to test it  >:(

Here is my FOnline.log:
Code: [Select]
Starting FOnline (version 0320-FF)...

Engine initialization...

Yes, 2238 client with RAS CLEAR interface. My graphics card is GeForce4 MX 440. My PC has 1.25 GB RAM and 1.6 GHz single-core CPU. Is there anything I should try? Like some other settings or something.

EDIT: It looks I downloaded corrupted file which could explain my problems. When I click on your download link it gives me
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

Could you please upload it anywhere else?

Thanks! Also would it be possible to do the same thing with the numbers "0" and "8" which are very similar too? :*
