I dunno, Iblis, I can see it . . .
Anyway, the new font looks pretty good. It might turn out a bit hard to read, though.

The picture works fine for me...

As for the response to your question, I think this one looks pretty good, but I don't think it's really better than the normal OHR font. Just different. It's kind of irritating how some of the capital letters look, though. For example, with the capital B it looks fine because it's a 'closed' letter, but with the C it's open, and since it's one pixel below the normal letters, it looks sort of odd, like the beginning of an underline, except not.

Don't worry if you don't get many opinions though... people don't see to care that much about fonts. I released a package with ten fonts once (one was unfortuneately almost a direct rip-off of the normal OHR font, and one WAS a direct rip-off of the FFIV font (as it was supposed to be)) and I only got two opinions on them. Speaking of which... I'm supposed to still be working on more fonts. I'm forgetful...

Yes, the problem with the capitals is a problem I intend on fixing before the next demo is released.

Iblis, the image will work now. That was my mistake. I forgot to upload that image off of topcities, but I've fixed that.

Yeah, the image was back up shortly after I posted, but I couldn't edit the post or make a new one because of random errors.

I very much prefer the old font, btw.

The old font was the default OHR font, if anyone didn't notice that...

Yes it is the old font. I got tired of using the default font in all my games so I thought I'd make one up.

Hey. I fixed the font, so just go back to the page at the website and see if that is better.

Your fix of the font was MUCH better! It looks good now.

Hmmm. Ok, I'm going to stick with the new edited font for now.
I like it too. I think it looks good in the game.
