<div class="IPBDescription">for you low-res players!</div> Lazy copy paste from the readme.txt;

I made this cause NS uses its own program to make fonts for say/team_say, the piemenu and some other stuff. While this is a really nice little app, it was released by Max in the constellation forum, and thus some people can't find it. In low resolution the default NS text is really big and bold, blocking the player's view when there is many people chatting.

There is two versions included, one is tahoma size 8, and the other is tahoma size 6 bold (added by request, for <i>very</i> low res users)

Some screens in 800x600, with tahoma size 8:

Player view:

Commander view:

Enjoy!

Edit:

- Updated the pack to "v2"
- Added screenshots

Edit 2:

- Using own webspace cause attachements keeps getting corrupt after site move

    I remember a font maker for HL, too bad it doesn't work with Steam <_<

    I'll have to try these out some time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    it was leaked (for about 24 hours)... but was taken down by request of development team.

    tell a CM/Vet/PT (mods are pt you know...) and we might be happy enough to make you a font.

    Ok, I just wondered. I'm not planning to change the font. I rather make new HUDs, maps and various other stuff.

    <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo--> This reminds me of Sven-Coop players who get their wonid/steamids hardcoded into the game and get extra stuff.

    Really crap for the rest of the community. We deserve all this stuff too. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    live with it. the donation really isn't all that much, and ppl are getting stuff because they have contributed something very tangible and useful to the whole of NS.

    for the record i'm not a consty member, although i plan to be (starving student n all)

    Sorry to resurect this thread, but i updated the pack to "v2" (wow! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) and added screenshots.

    The tahoma size 6 bold version is for very very low resolution users, i find it too small even in 640*480, but some people may still use it, it was added by request.

    About the font program itself, just so you know, i resurected the release thread in the constellation forum some time ago, asking nicely if we could distribute it to everyone... But got no "official" answer (yet), so i guess we still can't, sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Huhhh, ok, i'm not used to this forum <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> (there's no "official release" thread in the mapping forum)

    Also, i got a request to make a tahoma size 7 version for 640*480, and since i'm lazy atm i don't want to update the original message & fontpack again, so i'm making this post to attach it <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I may clear things up later.

    Tahoma size 7 both normal and bold: (no pics, just ran out of adrenaline)
