ASCII
« on: July 24, 2015, 03:17:02 am »

When i pick the ASCII tileset, the tiles and font are really huge compared to others. A single tile or letter takes up more space than something else, so i end up viewing a lot less then with something else, not sure how to explain this.



How can i fix this?

I use a square ascii set, not the rectangular one in vanilla DF. You can change it by chaning the relative lines in the data/init/init.txt and dropping the rectangular ascii tileset into data/art.

How exactly do I switch to the ASCII tileset.
The default Masterwork graphics pack makes my head swirl.

Choose one from among the ASCII tileset options from the tileset drop down in the graphics section on the front page of the gui
