Since I tend to play DF on my small notebook, I have been wanting a tileset that was smaller than the 15x15 (Talryth) that I had been using, that was both square and easy to read despite the smaller size. Having a couple of slow days at work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I managed to get this set created. (Hint: Start at the bottom of the image and work up when making your own! its much less frustrating
) I thought I would share this in case there are other folks using a 1366x768 or similar display that wanted something relatively clear and easy to read and yet small enough to give a decent display of the map, all at the same time. This should also work quite well on large displays for showing ridiculous amounts of the map at full resolution.
To that end, I present
krenshala's 13x13 tileset*:

This is one big pixel-art image (made with GIMP for those that wondered). The font is my own, made to be both readable and fit in the self imposed size restrictions.
I hope those of you that try it find it enjoyable.

* This is version three of the tileset (2016-07-02). I've updated pretty much all the letters, though most are only minor changes (such as position on the tile).
** This is version two of the tileset (2015-02-17). I've updated a few letters (D, P, and R), some punctuation (! and ?, normal and inverted), and replaced the three diagonal line tiles (left side, fifth row up).
