Fonts on Signs (Wishlist)
Fonts on Signs // WishlistdionNov 2, 2002, 4:05pm
After seeing this post in the worldbuilders NG, I think it'd be a nice
option to be able to choose a font for signs. :-) While you do that, it'd also be a good idea to make a default font in the world settings. :-) -Dion [View Quote] strike rapierNov 5, 2002, 3:37pm
How about getting sharper text on signs first? Then im sure fonts would be a good idea, but the current signs lack enough clarity to use em effectivly.

Some signs are clearer than others. I'm totally with the font idea, but not
everyone has the same fonts though most windows users do share a common set. I do know you can add fonts with the browser or even have browser only fonts if they elected to go that way. Kinda like the DOS days of 8x8 fonts etc... I think the clarity of the existing font is based on the x y ratio. I have some signs that won't take text well at all... the anti-aliasing just makes the text look horrible... but on some other signs the text is quite crisp. ananasNov 6, 2002, 2:50am
Using TextureModes Foreshorten or Filter on signs makes
them look more or less blurry too. [View Quote] |
