Well yes, the credits symbol was precisely inspired from the TM symbolI think the superscript "CR" for credits looks a bit too much like ™
, I wanted to see how a more minimal solution would look, but I don't like it. It was subject to change anyway. I am not overly attached to any of the credits symbol variants, so yes, it can be changed back to C*.
I'd say it's because although the numbers are mono-spaced, the spaces are a different width. I'm guessing that column is left aligned, and relies on the space being the same width as the numbers to align them.edgepixel wrote:A bit of a problem though. In columns, numbers with one digit get shifted a bit to the left from numbers with two digits. Not sure if I messed-up somewhere (The figures are monospaced. I checked all files) or if it's the product of how the display code works: See how "4", "6", "8" are well behaved inside a number with two digits, yet shift to the left when all alone. Naughty little things.
For the record the only font issue I've seen on the Pandora is that because the system names on the Galactic Charts are at a reduced size it's almost impossible to read them, which complicates the use of the ANA. I'm not sure this will make much difference, but I'll give it a go on the Pandora, to see how it looks on the Chart.Diziet Sma wrote:That looks really good.. might make a good font for the Pandora, too.. due to the small screen, the default Oolite font is not the easiest to read, apparently.
Ah ... there's another assumption about the font in the code. The space character (32, first one on row 3) is assumed to be exactly half the width of the monospaced number. (And I think the em-dash character is then assumed to be exactly as wide as three spaces)edgepixel wrote:A bit of a problem though.

It's stylish and has good readability. The only defect that I found is that wide space after the 'W'. Is it possible to fix it?
It's definitely my preferred choice.No, that's just my 1.77 Oolite install, with the BGS .oxp added, whose background images I then changed to my own liking, using some "Elite: Dangerous" screenshots and concept art from the internet.mossfoot wrote:I take it those are all 1.8 screenshots?
What is Pandora?Diziet Sma wrote:might make a good font for the Pandora
An easy way? Other than having me providing two versions of the .oxp, one with the new symbols, and one with the default symbols, I guess you'd need an image editor, notepad++ (to make it easier), patience, attention, and a bit of know-how, to edit the files yourself by hand.Neelix wrote:is there an easy way to tweak it so I can keep all the original symbols and just keep the new lettering?
You could always try politely asking Frontier for permission, but I'm pretty sure the answer would be "No". Which is a pity.. they look great!edgepixel wrote:I changed the images from the BGS oxp to some more to my liking, fitting the Elite: Dangerous itch I have, of which the fonts are just a part. I could release those images as a "BGS - Dangerous Flavor.oxp", but I'm not sure about the legality of using Elite: Dangerous images in an Oolite .oxp, even if they are freely available on the net.
The Pandora is a small handheld game console and mobile personal computer with a Linux OS. A successor, the Pyra Dragonbox, is currently in development.edgepixel wrote:What is Pandora?Diziet Sma wrote:might make a good font for the Pandora
