There is an awesome collection of tilesets on the wiki ( http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_character_sets ) but there are so many of them it would take forever to try them all out.  What is everyone using?

VANILLA!

Though I did grab a square tilset that stuck as close to vanilla as possible once.  Wanted my round megaconstruction to be a god damned circle instead of an ellipse (normally I don't care).

I use Mayday's.

I'm a vanilla fan myself, if only because the way some of the Text in menus gets replaced in some tile sets bothers the heck out of me.

I use the "Herrbdog, modified by Guybrush" 16x16 tileset, basically it's a version of the vanilla square one which leaves the characters alone and just makes things look a little cleaner.

I too get annoyed when words have random images in them, and I find the full graphics sets I've seen so far (such as the popular, and pretty mayday's one) aren't as easy to read as the normal ascii set.

Use something that changes accented characters to normal characters then. I use this one, and I love it.

[Vugor]

For the most part i stick with vanilla, but Mayday's would have to be my favorite out of the several tile sets that I have tried or been included with peoples copies of their games or such.

RantingRodent's pack!

I can't stand tilesets with a background to the text, or too many character replacements so names are nearly unreadable (and I don't want to go butchering the game languages to use a graphics set). I'm using the guybrush square 16x16 tileset, with Dystopian Rhetoric dwarves and critters. Originally downloaded this (linked from the wiki) a few months ago, and pretty much immediately realised that it was out of date and updated it to 40d. If someone wants I could upload the updated version?

thanks for the suggestions.. definitely helped me out.  the mayday's is nice, once you can get over some of the text being a bit weird.  I like the fact that tiles are square now instead of rectangular...

I use a slightly modded version of PTTG V.5

The only places I really notice it much are the capital O's, they all look like O's surrounded by a Civ-style Fat Cross, but are still easy to read, Apostophes and Commas are squiggly blocks of blahness, and the "Male" symbol on animals is a leather bag.

The O isn't really a problem for me, it actually looks pretty cool imho, because it looks like caligraphy on names of Dwarves and Forts and Cities and stuff, the Apostophe and Comma thing took some getting used to and aggrevates me TO THIS DAY.

The male symbol being a bag makes me laugh in a twisted way.

I like the fonts from the Acorn computer. They're on that page somewhere.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I use vanilla myself.

Actually i have a question relating to mayday's title set...

its the keybidings...it took me quite a quite to get used to all the keys in DF and in mayday's aparently they are diferent....i first noticed that issue wen i tried to check the other levels in my area.

My question is , why are they diferent?
