Use "Mg" instead of "$" sign #6

Open Wuzzy2 opened 3 years ago

Wuzzy2 commented 3 years ago

The mod uses the dollar sign "$" to abbreviate the currency but it should be "Mg" (for "Minegeld"). "Mg" is how the currency mod abbreviates "Minegeld".

Oh, and the "Mg" is also written after the number, not before.

For example: Instead of "$5", write "5 Mg".

What if we really, really like dollars? The taste of them, the schmell of them, the texture?

Wuzzy2 commented 3 years ago

Well, this mod only uses Minegeld, not dollars. And "Mg" is the official sign of Minegeld, not "$". That's why.

Montandalar commented 2 years ago

The variant spelling MineGeld is widely used on LinuxForks and the symbol used is always MG; I mean the text typography on the note clearly has an uppercase G. In any case, I believe the correct solution is to ask the Unicode consortium for a "Minegeld currency symbol" and use that, or else add a Minegeld symbol to the default fonts shipped with Minetest as a Unicode private range character.

Just kidding about the currency symbol, but anyway does the $ really cause problems?

Wuzzy2 commented 2 years ago

The currency mod itself which introduces Minegeld uses "Mg", so that's pretty much official and hard to argue with.

The $ causes problems because it triggers me every time I see it. :D Minegeld is NOT dollars, it's Minegeld!

Will be fixed in #8.
