Fonts

Overview

IMPORTANT

Status: Supported
Minimum Version: 1.0

Added a system for supporting .ttf fonts. All settings are stored in the fonts.ltx config.

• If a corresponding .ttf font is not found for your localization, then the game will require the presence of default.ttf in the DIRECTORY $game_fonts$/your_localization

New Font

• Place your font in: $game_fonts$. (default gamedata/fonts/{lang})
• • {lang} - localization folder (rus/en/chs/etc...)
• Register in fonts.ltx as follows:

[new_font] ; Name for use in XML 
shader = hud\font
name = Arial; Name of .ttf file without extension 
size = 12 ; Font size
; Uncomment if you have encoding problems 
;opentype = true

• Enjoy

Or in other words: Hieroglyphics

The problem with these fonts is the huge number of characters that don't fit in the texture when rendered. For such languages, you need to set the parameter:

• gamedata\configs\engine_external.ltx

[render]
...
FontAtlasSize = 4096 ; Value of the atlas texture size. Must be a power of two
