Looks a lot better, you should have made the numbers smaller while you were at it.

^ Skater wanted me to do it in tahoma. I dont think tahoma works nearly as good as the other 2.

Tahoma is ugly. But blue looks nicer then yellow.

The tremulous font and #'s still look better.

Maybe if I HAD the tremulous font.

I did this a while ago... Its not very good, but its blue

I was going to change more things, but then I didnt liked it.

PS: Blue font is horrible... can barely read anything.

Here's what I use, grabbed the font for normal text from TREM, I'm going to merge it with the dpball font so that all of the strange characters in funnames will show up correct. The # font is from a Q3 hud mod, called "gothic" I think, I've been working on trying to add a border to it so it will look better and be easier to see, but it keeps turning out uglier than ever.

that white one doesn't look great.

TinMan · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:52:16 PM »

That's why I uploaded it, in Quake 3 the hud fonts don't have colors, they're added some other way while playing, Smokey's gonna make it look good for me, right?
As I said before, my attempts at it failed, since its a gothic font I kept crushing the thin areas of the calligraphy when trying to make a nice looking outline on it. I was using it as a light-gray font with a black outline, that way it sort of stands out from the other colors in the game.
Smokey, you should merge the TREM font with the dpball funname characters now that you've got that too.

Smokey · « **Reply #15 on:** August 31, 2006, 02:55:02 PM »

ehh, the font, not pics.zip

TinMan · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2006, 03:05:42 PM »

Sorry, my mistake, its not a real "font", like as in .ttf or anything. It's just the hud characters, it didn't come with any readme as to what font was used to make the .tga #'s.
