I'm trying to use the second 12x12 tileset and am running into some problems. I did the following:

1) Save image to disk
2) Open up image in GIMP
3) Save as... to Windows BMP
4) Put new BMP file into /data/art as curses_12x12.bmp
5) Edit init.txt to set the font as curses_12x12.bmp

However, when I start up DF, I get a completely blank screen. I know it's a font problem because I can hit down twice and enter and the game quits; the menu is THERE, everything works, but no font is being displayed.

I've changed the font before, I tried using the supplied 800x600 font for awhile, but I didn't love it (too used to the default look of the dorfs), so I know I'm not being completely retarded.. but I can't figure out what's going wrong. -.- All I can figure is that GIMP isn't saving it as the "right kind" of bmp, but I'm running linux so MS Paint isn't really an option.

Ideas?

Be sure to save it as a 24-bit BMP. I'm no expert with the GIMP, but I'm certain it can do it.

Save it in paint and see what happens.
