For everyone who doesn't understand that the FONT will be seperate from the TILESET,
Toady gave me a super secret early release build and I tried out the best font in the world with it:


Man, it really helps not needing to differentiate between undercase and capital letters!

Oh god, why is it all caps?

[Josephus]

I figure I'll try out Copperplate Gothic. Should be hilariously improper.

Well you really don't ever need undercase letters. Trajan gets rid of them and looks EPIC.

[Baughn]

In case anyone is actually wondering: Yes, that's a fake.

It's not badly made, though. It should be something like that.

This mockup actually wakes the desire for some bright parchment like background for the menu with black letters for the actual writing. THe hotkeays could be red and bold.

That or marble in either black or white (and the scripture in the other color) with the hotkeys in Gold.

You need them if you don't want your soul to bleed out through your eyes.

Definitely comic sans.

Aww man, you know what I am thinking?

I think something runelike with straight, strict (and hence engravement-like) lines would work.

I might use PopStar Autograph or The Fragile.
Both featured in the image-ification (hurr not-a-real-word) of my old quote signature.
Just to see how it looks.

Including the two-step and make sandwich commands?

Aye, my thoughts exactly. Runic influence definitely.

Wait, I am a bit confused, is Toady putting this in the next version?

What, it's fake?  The new update will still have a hotkey to make sandwiches though, right?

Edit: Bah, didn't see that Quatch beat me to it.  Well, the fps should be better in the real version at least, especially with that many idlers.

Sort of.  Baughn actually did the heavy lifting for this, and it's going in as a beta feature.  It'll be disabled by default, as it's expected to be quite buggy for the first release or two.

the biggest question i've got, is if there is a plan for how tiles will be allocated in the final version and how the RAWs will be changed.  It will hardly do for everyone to go making their own custom tiles with differing assumptions.

we'll need to update the reference doc on the Wiki to reflect tile allocation.  I'm not an ASCII pureist as much as I hate having ambiguous tiles: wells that look like rings, or rings that look like wells, or whatever.  I'm sure some of the newly free tiles will need to be generic and interpratable representations still (such as the ones that double for trees and mushrooms and such), while others may be able to represent specific objects.

It would be nice if this came with the ability to extend the default tiles arbitrarily, so that people could create add-on packs like with creature-tiles.  That may be a bigger problem though, depending on how memory is allocated.
