Help me find a font!
« on: November 14, 2016, 04:03:03 pm »
So I just got handed a new task...

Cinth, I'd like for you to help out with finding a suitable font for us, if you can.

So unless you want something like this, toss in your suggestions!

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

A header font and a body font would be good.

Times New Roman

:D

I'm happy this is a thing, btw. Each year as my monitor resolution gets greater and my eyesight gets weaker, Arcen games become more difficult to read.  8)

Clearly the AI should only talk to you in Monotype Corsiva, because the AI has become refined and elegant compared to the barbaric meatbags. :D

The fonts are to be used in the game (a point of clarification).  Think about tool tips and such. 

I'd like more serious suggestions.  :)

The title font could be some serif font. And about choosing the best font, it is always possible to put several good fonts in the game and let the user to choose.

I think the AI is sufficiently advances in the game, it should only communicate with the player using emoji.   >D

I've always been a fan of Times New Roman, but I don't know how it would look in game.

Was actually my first suggestion :)

We've got something in place and should show up on the KS screens soon (my guess).

Hint, I don't know fonts at all. I'm not the one to ask :)

How about you let the user choose his font in the settings? That would satisfy anyone, except him over there that thinks you don't deserve a choice.

Something like that is beyond the scope of what I can do (I'm just asking for input!).
