Update font to be consistent across platforms #31

Open AkbarTheGreat opened 3 years ago

The font currently is a WX derived font which is sort of similar between linux/Windows/Mac, but not really.

Ideally, we could use something like https://www.wfonts.com/font/sports-world to look particularly sportzy.

This is an admirable idea! Do you package the font with the product to make that happen?

I tried a lot of fonts with the latest version (still old tho) of JANIS, and the score display didn't look good with a sports-y font, so I got advice from a graphic designer buddy on the font for that. Sadly I can't build JANIS anymore, as you know, and the latest version was a debug build. That's what we're running in Portland, but I don't think anywhere else runs this version.

Better late than never, I guess, for response -- no, I haven't really pursued this issue further than the idea/finding a font that looked "right." It's still on my list (which is why the ticket is open), but it's kind of low on my list of priorities.
