Digital display makes me laugh.

I like the 8x8, as far as 8x8s go.  The symbol for @ works nice for HFS, but it makes adventurers (and I think traders?) look awfully weird.

[CobaltKobold]

Well, I was aiming at "How do I make another face in mono without duplicating dwarfs?

Anyway, uploading fixed digital. (I'm having fun using it- only issue I see aside from the now-fixed L/R arrow (only used for bridgebuilding) is that it's slightly difficult to tell open space from nonvaried ground)
 

editting original post to centralize...

edit: @ would be adventurers, madmen, (dwarven) traders, diplomats, the taxman, and the hammerer.

I just cant imagine playing with the 4x4 tileset, my eyes hurt from looking at the screenshots for less than 20 seconds. But good job anyways, and I do like the 8x8 one, its both readable and small enough to fit ALOT on the screen.

select all black and make transparent (manually tweak to not grab the partially-dug tile and the dig-selected tile), run the gimp script I wrote, fill transparency of new thing with magenta yields:

Holy smokes that's so awesome I had to create an account just to say how awesome that is.

Can't wait for it honestly.

I did mention that that's with me putting it through a few steps in the Gnu Image Manipulation Program?

Alternate (incomplete) iso tileset for world in similar vein

Exported 'smaller' map put through the usual process:

The dwarf fortress is near the East, there's a goblin fort in the South. Unfortunately some forest tiles use the same tile as "large elvenhame" so I can't tell you which of them that is.

Don't do things like trying to specify negative tilewidths and the like- it's not robustly made, but it works.

Nice tilesets, I installed the 8x8 one..I'm not sure I'm ready for 4x4, I might go blind. 

[TauQuebb]

now thats a nice little isometric sideproject you have there, hope it works out

[Danarca]

Isometric dwarf fortress tileset...
Man, the community surrounding Dwarf Fortress and it's dedication never cease to amaze me

[quinnr]

Nice sets, I'm using your 8x8...4x4 is just...Ow.

[Puck]

You guys are killing me 

whatcha gonna use 4x4 for? Streaming the game to the display of a microwave oven you installed linux on?

[CobaltKobold]

Walls done because I was depressed.
tileset:
Now with Adiloshur, the quick fort I made to demo the various 4x4s.
Aha! Good, now I know what went wrong. using PRINTMODE:STANDARD...brb with screen. takes a minute to process.
There, processed.

Cue smoothwall fanatics.

[LegoLord]

How . . . how the heck did you do that?

[CobaltKobold]

Step 1: ru nDF using one of the (admittedly not good for play) tilesets
Step 2: Open GIMP
Step 3: Use GIMP to acquire screenshot sans window dressing
Step 4: Add alpha channel.
Step 5: Colorselect black, delete to transparentify (Otherwise it comes out a mess).
Step 6: Input values to the gimp script I wrote (it's in this post) and run.
Step 7: Colorselect transparent in the new image, fill to black.

That's not an actual DF screenshot. The screenshot would be
.

edit: Think my isotileset is a dead end for that DF multipurposes tiles sooo much. (Walls around a floor? Bridge?) Only the world one'll be useful really- and e'en so, large elfhames are mixed with trees.
