Awesome square TTF font I found
« on: January 10, 2021, 03:17:47 am »

Kreative Square
A scalable, 1:1 square font with tons of glyphs!
https://www.kreativekorp.com/software/fonts/ksquare.shtml

I'm a fan of terminals, but I also like to zoom in and out a bunch.
I hate when zooming causes symbols to be blurry or fuzzy.
So, naturally, I've been looking for a square TTF font to use with DF and roguelikes and such that looks good at multiple sizes with cleartype.
Unfortunately, it seems that there just aren't many that actually scale well and have all the required glyphs.
I wish I knew about Kreative Square earlier.

This shit is sublime.
It looks clear as day no matter what I do.
Finally, text mode feels worth it and I didn't have to settle for non-squareness.

I got so excited that I made an account to post about it.
If you've got a square font that stacks up, I'd love to see it for comparison.

Also post PRINT_MODE:TEXT tips I guess. If anyone's got a link to an interface.txt that fixes the shift thing, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I don't know what I was expecting, but... this looks really nice. Wow.
