Is there someone I can go to explain the difference between graphic font and font settings, TBWT and Standard and 2D, truetype or no truetype? I seem to be forced to make a choice between newer graphics (tiny hard to see chairs, non-spiderweb gems and bookcases on all the workshop everywhere) or older graphics that look better (IMHO) but bug out/have peices disapper and dont show gender or the apostrophe in a word like surrounding nicknames.
Its unclear what these settings do and randomly trying differnt settings isnt getting me the results I want. Older gfx with working letters (and no V or N on the world map)
TWBT ("Text Will Be Text") is a DFHack plugin that makes major changes to how graphics are displayed. DFHack is not ready for the current version yet, so TWBT cannot be used on the current version yet. Until DFHack and TWBT are ready, you cannot achieve the results you want.
Some graphics packs require TWBT to render properly. This is the cause of many of the glitches you're seeing when you try to use "older" graphics packs. The graphics packs which have been updated for the newest version do not require TWBT, but need to make some sacrifices in clarity as a consequence (e.g. V and N on the world map).
Please be patient. DFHack and TWBT, like all Dwarf Fortress utilities, are fan-made, fan-maintained, and fan-updated.
