I just have to say one large enormous huge "THANK YOU!"
it is very nice set and I like all the special care like migrating saves, prepared packages etc!

Released the HFS, only to find the demons all looked like &'s despite being defined in graphics_sphr_monsters.txt.

Yeah, I think this is because

all demons are randomly generated now, unlike the 3-4 types in 40d. Like Forgotten beasts, I don't think there's a way to assign graphics to them yet (barring an undocumented tag).

Olivine doors are shown as the mineral (* symbol) not as a door. Annoying as hell!

I think FBs could possibly be defined through their base model. I mean, a wolf made of flame is still a wolf, after all. Just more flamey.

I am having trouble with quarry bushes, they show up as a black square.

[Gabriel A. Zorrilla]

Phoebus: are you checking our bug reports? 

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

The Olivine door issue is a bug with the game itself, so Phoebus has no control over it.

[Gabriel A. Zorrilla]

Carp! Thanks!

I am having trouble with quarry bushes, they show up as a black square.

That's a bug with DF v0.31, precisely, a bush quarry leaf should never be seen outside of a bag thus the bush quarry leaf graphic data in the raws was not tested in game; that data is incorrect and I have submitted a bug report about that a few months ago: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=946
I applied the fix to earlier version of the graphic pack, but now it seems I've forgotten to reapply the bugfix to the newer versions, next version will have the bugfixed quarry bush leaf tile again.

Olivine doors are shown as the mineral (* symbol) not as a door. Annoying as hell!

Sorry about the slow reply.
As Dark_T_Zeratul said, that's a bug with the game, it happens in vanilla too. I've not aware of any way to fix that short of not crafting any olivine doors, sorry.

Lead bins look ugly and if a dwarf carries one, it looks like he's unconcious (flashing 'X')

[Sfon]

schlappi: The X, bin, and up-down stair all must use the same graphic. This makes it impossible to get them all looking good all the time without problems. In other words, don't expect much improvement there in any tileset until Toady himself does something to make it easier.

Lead bins look ugly and if a dwarf carries one, it looks like he's unconcious (flashing 'X')

That's purely vanilla. I can't change the tile for bins (hardcoded to 'X'), and I did not change the color of Lead.

Bins, doors, hatches and other inversed tiles are the worst part of DF's graphic engine. The problem is deeply rooted in the way colors work in DF, and how that color system breaks the inverted tile hack that is used for those tiles (bins, doors, hatches, etc.)

Iron, Steel, Pig Iron and Lead all have the color 0:7:1, which stands for Foreground (0 = Black/Dark Grey), Background (7 = Light Grey/White), Brightness (1 = On)
The brightness flag only affects the foreground color, in this case it makes the foreground color Dark Grey. The background color is always dark, in this case Light Grey.
For most tiles, that would mean the Iron/Lead item would be displayed as Dark Grey on Light Grey, but on inversed tiles, the background and foreground color are switched, so Iron/Lead items become 7:0:1.
That means the tile becomes White on Black, which is NOT ok. The tile should be light grey on dark grey. The problem is that the brightness flag affects the foreground color only after they are switched, and I really can't do anything about that.

At best, you could play with Iron/Lead colors changed to 7:0:0, so they are always Light Grey on Black, and will invert to Black on Light Grey.
Here's a file with the color of Iron, Steel, Pig Iron & Lead changed to 7:0:0, place it in the raw/objects directory of your savegame.

You could just draw a demon in place of your & tile.
That's what I think I'm gonna do for my graphics set.
I honestly don't think & is used anywhere else in the game.
