I'm not shure where to post this. Anyway here is my little story: In my time playing Dwarf Fortress I have used many different tilesets but never was totally satisfied. Actually these days I always want to use the old fashioned, rough looking original curses_640x300. The problem is, of course I have to zoom in so much ingame that the tiles become so blurry that my eyes can't take it for long. I've gone through the tileset repository and tried out many versions but they either lag the genuineness of the original, or they are square, which I started to dislike.
I tried to make a scaled up version on my own but soon realised that this is not that easy. My knowledge of graphics or editing pictures is too slightly and I ended up having stripes where they shouldn't be or the tiles weren't sharp enough. I guess my only chance is to draw every pixel of it on my own. But before I start a project like this I'd rather ask If anybody had the same idea before and found a way. Maybe there is even a simple way that I didn't know about.
Too make it short: I'd like to see a large version (around 175%-200%) of the original curses_640x300. Sharp and not to distinguish from the original. I really would appreciate it.
