Um ,careful with the caps lock button. Btw, are you sure JA uses Times New Roman? I thought it was for JO or something? The letter characters in JA looks weird, not really Times New Roman at all.
--ZeeMan-- Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 i did two tests....one is copy/pasting from the load up screen (in yellow)...and the second was copying pasting straight from the console...both times it pasted as TNR so that's where i got that impression could be wrong cus i dont' think it looks like TNR either... :-)
Samuel Dravis Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Copying and pasting don't carry over font type info. There's actually a few font files in the pk3s, but I don't know how to access them.
manoman81 Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 I'm not sure what font it is either. it looks like a variation of TNR. Go here and look to see if you can find a font that looks close to it http://www.1001freefonts.com The site has a few fonts that are "from" Star Wars. Check it out and see what you can find.
Samuel Dravis Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Yeah, the folder is assets1.pk3/fonts/. Apparently they have 'arialnb', 'aurabesh', 'ergoec', 'anewhope' and 'ocr_a'. I know that Aurabesh and probably the Arial one are very easy to get, though the others I'm not sure of.
Kurgan Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Hmm, maybe they just appear that way because of the default fonts used in Word and such? How about the default fonts used by the cfg files? Anyway there isn't a whole lot of variation of the character sets for TNR vs. a lot of other standard truetype fonts so it shouldn't be that big a deal if you're just trying to put lots of "133+" characters in your name. ; )
Rumor Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 ingame chat uses OCR A Extended (i used to use that font all the time ) as for the menus some mix of arial, veranda, or something similar.
