use for some unusued CP437 symbols
« on: July 10, 2008, 11:14:07 pm »
There are several Code Page 437 symbols which DF does not use, notably the 1/4, 1/2, and Peseta 'Pts' symbol.

The former two can be used on the stocks screen for their intended purpose, and the last can be used as an abbreviation for 'points' on the embark screen.

Well if we've got em we may as well use em. There are other unused ones too.

I drew faces in the 1/4 and 1/2 spots and changed the humans and elves to use them. Seems like a good use for them to me (though I can't take credit for the idea... I don't even remember where I first saw it).
