Title: about the fonts in the game
Post by: law_4x on July 14, 2016, 08:03:40 AM

hey, i want to translate the game into chinese but the game only support fonts in 10 pixels. most of the chinese characters don't have this type of fonts. last time the author recommanded a software called Bitmap that can transfer texts into pixel images but the game still can not recognize it. so i hope that the author could suggest a way to solve the font problems. it will be better if the game can support .ttf fonts. thanks

I'm sorry, there is no real way of solving this :\ Because of how the game is made the fonts are rendered at the resolution of the rest of the menus and stuff, this means menu layouts would have to change to actually fit in bigger text, which is just too much work for us at this point. In theory you could do that yourself, change the font to a larger one and change the .gui files everywhere it doesn't fit, but tbh it would be a significant amount of work.
