I would say the smiley face.
Agreed. But it may confuse the voters who are so used to Final Fantasy's SHINY CGI GRFIX.

....Or it may entice them to look the game up, out of pure curiosity. 8)

The problem with Windows 7 and DF is the Microsoft GFX drivers.. DF uses OpenGL, and Microsoft develop DirectX so naturally support for OpenGL with their drivers are hideous.

Use the drivers from your hardware manufacturers.
That goes without saying.... why would somebody use a Microsoft driver for an ATI or Nvidia graphics card?

Anyways, I have had the RC of Win7 64-bit for months and DF ran like a dream. Just this week I formatted my computer and installed the official Win7 64-bit Home Premium but have not tried DF on it yet.

DF Modding / Re: DWARFLETTER GOTHIC Tileset: ver 0.2.2 beta

Just wanted to say I love this tileset. I use it along with Mayday's sprites and it really brings the game to life. :D

One problem that I thought I would bring to your attention:

Ever since installing the mod, I could not make coke from bituminous coal, and trying to make it from the manager told me I lacked enough "tetrahedrite". Well I figured it was a problem with the raw files, so I changed the order of the text in "matgloss_stone_mineral.txt" to exactly match the order of the text in the original raw file, and it worked! I have absolutely no experience with Dwarf Fortress raw files, so I don't know what cleaning it up could have done, but you may want to take a look and see if you can't smelt coal either; may be a bug.

Cheers. ;)
