Change DFHack font
« on: March 19, 2014, 05:57:38 pm »
Is it possible to make DFHack use the normal text in game instead of the tileset?  I think this might be truetype off.  Would be nice if dfhack switched fonts as well when you turn truetype on/off with F12.

If you're referring to in-game viewscreens, then it's something that'll probably take a decent amount of work to implement - we have most of the information necessary (DF's own code for doing TrueType is available in g_src), but it's rather complicated.

Furthermore, the fact that TrueType support in DF itself is quite buggy (formatting issues, as well as random disappearing characters) means it is unlikely to be supported in DFHack any time soon.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
