OpenTTD Font Update

Post by RobinVinter »

Yes really, as a part of the version 14 beta they did a dev diary on the process of updating the classic fonts here. Just cool to see the the lengths they went through to retain the look methinks and it's gonna be sick playing with a font that doesn't strain the eyes :neofox__w_:

oh wow, they went through a lot of effort, that's really fascinating!! makes me think about if I should be offering a hi-res font in cosmogelica too (I don't because the game is super pixellated so such a font would stand out, and also it uses a font which was made for modern displays)

Don't really think its a problem for Cosmogelica like it is in OpenTTD, what's noteworthy about the game is that they have the double whammy of having both pixelated and small font size, which works well on small, low resolution CRTs that need to contain a lot of info but is far less ideal on modern displays.
