CP437 font support:
--   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts   

The liberation family of fonts for sure support cp437. They also happens to look nice. It took a little while to dig the information out, but my google-fu is weak  8)

Look about the middle of the page under CHARACTERISTICS and you will see what the Liberation fonts supports. It also shows a brief comparison to other common fonts.

Hope this helps.
P.S. I do not think Kelt Caps Freehand supports anything more than the most basic font types. In other words, no ascii at all. At least, none that I can find. Cool looking font though.

It would be nice if there were a way to use a "pretty" font for basic text display, and a workhorse font for everything else.

I doubt that's possible, but it would be pretty great.

Looking back...  unfortunately Kelt Caps Freehand doesn't really have much for extended characters...
http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Knights_Quest.htm or http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/Forgotten_Uncial.htm look promising.

Both are nice, But I'd say Forgotten Uncial looks cooler. does it have enough in the additional char. dept.?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

I would say that Knights Quest seems a bit more dwarfy.

Yeah, I like that one too.

But I'm not sure what's up with the { and }...

Fonts have never been this exciting. It took me a while to see, but the { and } are Knight helmets (fitting with the font name...)
I sort of like Forgotten Uncial better though...

100% definitely prefer Uncial. I do not like the "lower" case of the Knights at all. The knights helmets are a bit bothersome to my eyes as well. So does Uncial support cp437? To me full support is the most important attribute in selection for inclusion. Followed fairly closely by legibility.

Have Fun :)
Edit: For those of you who may not be familiar with CP437 or what that is. It refers to Code Page characters. Here is a link that will somewhat show / explain it. Not having a minimum of CP437 support in a font package is a straight up deal breaker for Release QA purposes. That is, if I read Baugns post correctly. The more CP's that are supported the better when you get right down to it.

To be honest, I really prefer the Liberation fonts myself. For me, legibility is more important than a font I will have to stare at and try to figure out what is what. Sure, a "Cool" font is...well, cool and all. But I prefer to concentrate on playing the game rather than trying to figure out a font that is shaped in a way that I find hard to comprehend.

On the other hand, I am easy. Pick what ever makes you all feel warm and fuzzy. I am sure that there will be a way to revert the font selection if I find it too bothersome.

Have Fun,

Ironhand, do you mind if I use your Goblins as Orcs in a pack I'm making for Rysith and his Orc mod?  I was planning on using Sphr's Goblins, but they are just so much more weedy than yours!  You would of course be credited in the readme, and on the download page. :)

Go ahead!

Keep in mind they might be a bit big to fit into Sphr's set,
since our tiles are all 18x18 pixels instead of 16x16. But yeah, have a blast.

I really like your tileset, but:



black sand wall and floor are really too similar.

Joanne Kelly is so fine, she is almost the only reason I continue to watch Warehouse 13!

Sand/blood/etc. tile used to be the same brightness as other ground tiles, but then people complained and IH made it lighter.

Of course they were wrong and I keep trying to sneak dark sand back in but IH spots it every time :P

Yep, same here! And in my case she's definitely the only reason.
