Font resources
« on: October 24, 2010, 11:19:30 PM »
I think I already know the answer to this one, but I'll ask it anyway.  There are 5 fonts available for use in Companion, anyone know of others?  I'm specifically looking for a DOS window look-a-like font.  I'll make my own if necessary, but I figured I'd ask the question first.

EDIT:
I'm wondering if I can actually get what I'm 'looking' for.  I'm not sure if the resolution of an SCI game can give me the approximation of the font that I'm after...

Yeah, the DOS prompt console font would be quite bigger on a 320x200 screen. And stretched in width as well.

I don't know of one, you'll probably have to make it. But I would think you could emulate a dos font, no dithering.

Hey, so Companion has a option for 'Use Windows Font' - and it creates it for you (very nice!).  The one I was looking for was Terminal, 9pt.  And sure enough, it just doesn't look good.  The resolution doesn't do it justice, unfortunately.  I think I actually prefer the default font over anything else...

You might be able to find a Terminal looking TTF. It would scale, unlike the FON fonts.
