Title: Graphical Fonts
Post by: Alynn on Tue 11/07/2006 07:49:39
I know AGS can use SCI style or TTF fonts, but has there ever been a graphics based Font plugin or modual (I searched and didn't find anything).

If not then it would be my suggestion to either allow it to happen (by AGS importing individual graphic letters, or something similar), or suggesting that someone make a modual. I'd do it myself, but I'm still learning the new AGS scripting language (last time I seriously used AGS was 2 years ago when I released the STR trailer)

The reason I ask, is while coming up with ideas for my next game, in order to make the font match the general style of the game, a graphic type font would be better, right now there is no font that I have found that fits with my game.

You may look into this module (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=23881.0) and this tracker entry (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/tracker.php?action=detail&id=57).

You may check this thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21691.0) also.

Yeah, try my SpriteFont moduel that gilbert linked to. If there are any extra features you require, let me know.

Cool SSH thanks for the help... I think I'll work on the letter sprites first thing once I get my clay :)

Radiant's Font Editor loads bmps, SCI fonts and TTF and it saves SCI fonts. It's not exactly what you've asked for but it's easy to use and it would certainly allow you to tailor the font to the style of your game
