TTF question
« on: October 17, 2017, 10:50:53 am »

I'm considering returning to Dwarf Fortress and reviving my old graphics pack. I can't find a good answer to this question just by searching the boards, so far. Why are no graphics packs taking advantage of replacing letters with graphics? Is the TTF support still not finished even after all of this time? Because the prospect of having so many more tiles to work with and eliminating some double use-cases is very exciting to me.

Go back to work without hesitation. Especially in light of fact that you are drawing in the style of Phoebus pack, which is known to have left DF modding.

For anyone that stumbles onto this thread looking for the same answer: Yeah, Truetype support doesn't cover some essential screens, still.

Unfortunate. I already had unique saplings sprited for all of the vanilla plants back when I was working on the DF2010 version of my pack, but they'll have to sit and wait for whenever TTF support is fully implemented.
