I’m having trouble figuring out how to change the font to one i like.
I used to use:
Terminus
12
14
But now the FONTDATA file is like:
fixedsys816
I’v tried replacing it with my old fontdata file and editing the new one but nothing I tried worked.
It seems to just get stuck on fixedsys.
Anyone know what I should do?

Terminus isn’t packaged with the SDL version of Cataclysm DDA. You’ll need to get it from an external source and adjust your setting accordingly.
Download Terminus Bold . (Direct Link!)
Place the ttf file into your FONT folder within the data folder of the game’s directory.
Open up “fontdata” in the data folder with a text editor.
First line should be the path to the ttf file. Example: C:\Users\Name\Desktop\CataclysmDDA\data\font\TerminusBold.ttf
The second and third lines are the vertical and horizontal size of the screen, respectively. Default is 8 then 16.
That’s great thanks, sept that is not the right kind of terminus font.
I want to use the font from this site.
terminus-font.sourceforge.net/
(idk how to get a .ttf version of it. its in .fon)
the one you linked me looks nothing like it
ah site didn’t work.
It said there is a problem converting the file?
I think the fon file may be to big. its about 1mb
fon file should work, although they are something in fixed size.
Try give FONTDATA a proper path, for example:
data/font/Terminus.fon

Yaaay, it worked! I must admit I understand why people love this font.
Yeah, the SDL version current has a limit on fon file. It only read the smallest size set from it.
Actually that terminus fon has 108 sub sets, for different font size.
