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](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1p1ntUqVzBJOFZRMkNFbzZ2NlE)

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/](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](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/](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!
