Trying to get a basic tutorial done, and here comes a version that fixes a pile of nasty, nasty bugs (shrubs, vamps, truetype, hostile tamed animals) and I have to start over (well, not 'have', but...)  

Oh well, at least I have this awesome tileset to keep my happiness number up. 

THANKS, PHOEBUS!

You can use the MediaFire mirror.

Phoebus, you still have the setup for Kohaku's birds wrong. Most of the graphics should apply for giant birds, not normal birds because those are vermin. See Kohaku's post a couple of post earlier.

I've got a problem when I try to change fonts in the current version of Phoebus. I use the tileset picker, and it switches the font as expected, but the font on the main menus of the game remain untouched.

Is there something else I need to do?

Either you must be playing with TTF on, or you're not using the tileset generated by the tileset assembler.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll fix it when I'm back, monday.

Ah, excellent. I didn't even know that was a thing. Thanks!

Any updates for the Linux crowd?  The pre-installed version is still 34.05 (http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2944).

[Phoebus]

*Updated* 0.34.06v01
Added NW_Kohaku's giant bird graphics.

[Phoebus]

I also added the contributions of Jiri Petru, NW_Kohaku and Kafine to the credits section.

Has anyone come up with any solutions for the vanishing text with TrueType?

[starvingpoet]

So far it's only been to turn TTF off.

Here's what I've been doing to play DF under linux.  The steps assume you have already downloaded and untarred vanilla DF, and unzipped the win32 version of Phoebus DF that you want to use into parallel directories (34.06v00 below).

  cd ~/Games/DwarfFortress
  mv df_linux DF_Vanilla_34_06_linux
  ln -s DF_Vanilla_34_06_Linux Vanilla
  cp -R Vanilla DF_Phoebus_34_06v00_linux
  ln -s DF_Phoebus_34_06v00_linux Phoebus
  ln -s DF_Phoebus_34_06v00_win32 Win32Ph
  rm Phoebus/raw/graphics/graphics_example.txt
  rm -rf Phoebus/raw/graphics/example
  cp -R Win32Ph/raw/* Phoebus/raw/
  cp Win32Ph/data/art/* Phoebus/data/art/
  cp Win32Ph/data/init/colors.txt Phoebus/data/init/
  cp Win32Ph/data/init/*init.txt Phoebus/data/init/
  cp Win32Ph/data/init/embark_profiles.txt Phoebus/data/init/

Once the above is done, just vi Phoebus/data/init/*init.txt to make any changes to the init files (I turn sound back on, and change the pop and baby caps).

These steps should also work for the Mac version, as well.

That's basically what I do as well but I run the tileset through my Tileset Resizer script first, and then install the Beefmo Dwarfs by hand.
You still need a Windows install/VM to use the Tileset Assember though so you can't use any of the optional settings in a linux only environment due to the use of .NET4.0.
Phoebus should really find someone to help him rewrite it in a cross platform language like python or java so everyone can enjoy easily.

If only I had the time.  I've wanted to learn this kind of thing with Python for quite a while now.
