What is a good tileset that's square but keeps to the ASCII feel?
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:30:33 pm »
I'm getting tired of the rectangles in my fortress not having equal length and height, but when I look in the tileset repository, there are about a million choices.  Do any of you use square tilesets?  If so, which have you found is the best, and keeps the original ASCII feel?  I'm not interested in graphics sets like Mayday's.

There's a square ASCII set packaged with the vanilla game.

You can also try Cooz Curses 16x16. Keeps the ASCII theme, and gives some shadowing to all components with only a couple minor changes.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Tyrving is the closest to a square curses font that I've seen.
