Strange Number Glyphs - Githubissues

wyatt-kinkade commented 1 day ago

Describe the bug On the title of Actors there are strange/missing glyphs in the font used.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Type in a non-letter character in an Actor's name
Character is either missing a glyph or provides a glyph that is not useful

Expected behavior The title font displays useful glyphs, compare in the below screenshot the name in the top left of the Actor's window and that displayed largely in the custom font in comparison.

Screenshots

Additional context Going to defer to maintainer on how this should be fixed

Unfortunately, this is the real content of the "Archeological caps" font that has been chosen for the game (see here for example : https://www.dafont.com/archeologicaps.font ). A new font must be chosen by the ACKS team.

I propose one of the following fonts. I checked and they all support the basic characters we would want including numbers.

What to look for

Check the font kerning - that is, the space between certain characters next to each other like AV. Does it look nice? Some of these just have bad spacing and it does not look good. You'll know when you see it.
Check the overall size and width - some of these are going to be a lot wider which means it won't display as much information as a more condensed font.
