Anyone know what font DF dumps its text in? I'm running ubuntu, and while everything displays fine in the game, the region history texts have all sorts of weird artifacts like.. well maybe it'll show up fine for you, but As‰n has got this huge die in the middle of it. =p I've installed the MS core fonts and whatnot, but obviously something's not set right somewhere on me system. If anyone else is running DF via wine and can point me towards what to fix, I'd appreciate it.

cat gamelog.txt | iconv -f CP437

Note, it's not a font when you're talking about how the characters are encoded, rather than just how they're displayed on screen.

Well, that'll dump out text okay, but how can I get it to display properly in OO, text editors, et cetera?

Hey, where's that pioneering unix spirit, self sufficiency, and tinker-till-it-works? Just pipe it back to disc:

cat gamelog.txt | iconv -f CP437 -t UTF-8 > gamelog.utf8.txt

Play with tail if you want it to update live.

It's tough to be self-sufficient when you're not one of the ones who've spent the last 5+ years reading the survival manual  

Fear the incoming unschooled yet linux-appreciating horde! We come to use your powerful and wonderful operating system, like clumsy children!  Muahahaahahahahah!

Oi, not in my thread you don't. Make your own.

X: thanks for the info. It's not quite what I was hoping for, but I can go harass ubuntuforum folk for that.   Always good to learn new commands and tricks, in any case.
