Square Fonts pack

It is my fonts pack. Actualy it is not purely my work at all. It is mostly just combination and modification of other’s people works. I made it for myself but someone may find it useful too.

DOWNLOAD

CURRENT VERSION: V8 (NOW WITH SQUARE FONT FOR MAP SCREEN!)

INSTALLATION:
To install this just unpack files from archive in your cataclysm directory. By default font settings optimized for 1080p.

DESCRIPTION:
Inside that archive you will find font that I use to play with ASCII mode using SDL version of the game.

  1. Square-SmallcapsRM - is hybrid of Square-Smallcaps (included with cataclysm) and Terminus (TTF) Bold (http://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/). Now Square-Smallcaps REALLY has small letters.

Square-Smallcaps is good. Really good. But for me it has one downside. Small letters of that font too similar with large letters. It is not so intuitive to recognize. So I add small letters to Square-Smallcaps from Terminus (TTF) Bold, resize it and tweak some things. Also this font conatins regional symbols of some other languages.

  1. Square-SmallcapsR - is almost same as Square-SmallcapsRM but small leters remeain the same as Square-Smallcaps. Bysically it is Square-Smallcaps with resized regional symbols from Terminus (TTF) Bold.

  2. CatConWide (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=2337.0) - it is work of Leonid Vasilyev. Stretched to square Lucida Console. It is remain untoched by me.

  3. Also this archive includes Terminus (TTF) Bold (http://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/). It is monospace font just like Terminus with SIL Open Font License (if I understand it right).

Don’t be confused with world “Russian” on CataclysmRussianSquareFontsPack. Fonts will work for English language too.

And important note - it was tested and created for SDL version. Curses version should work too however.

SCREENSHOTS:
That is Square-SmallcapsRM on 14 size (look on small letters to see difference between original Square-Smallcaps):

I spent a lot of time to find this post on a new forum site.
Terminus (TTF) Bold is still better for reading text on bigger screens!
Thank’s man!
