Please fix the Alien Outcast - Glass font

spikey

The Glass font from Alien Outcast is very cool, because it has already a transparent effect. To use it, is not as convenient as it could be. Please ask Alien Outcast to do the following modifications:

increase the size of letter "W"
lower the size of "r" and "s"
and really cool would be: modify all tile sizes to match the exact character sizes (like in the metal font)

To show how easy we could make use of a font, that follows the tile size concept of the metal font (yeah nothing new for you, probably). But never the less maybe interesting.

You're absolutely right - I will spend some time on this in the near future. They are messy at the moment.

Thanks! Test program code: NXKLY3YDN8

Good grief that's horrible! I have all the original so i'll check to see if I can do it - otherwise I'll give Jessica a shout. It is entirely possible I messed them up in the first place.

But to be sure, your preferred layout is individual sized rather than 512x512 and no padding! (and of course consistently sized letters!)

Best, Jon Silvera

Yes, that would be very nice.

@Jonboy The red lines were added by me just for comparing the sizes.

Jonboy

@spikey - I got that - I just meant what a mess the alignments are in. It needs sorting out for sure.

Any updates on the matter? It's a real mess and I'm currently thinking of fixing this using software. However, having fixed Alien Outcast fonts would be much more convenient.

@mpfdev This one seems to have slipped through the net. There wasn't an issue opened for it. There is now

mpfdev

Thank you, appreciate it!

One minor addition regarding the fonts: the naming is also a bit inconsistent. I suggest naming the files:

glassSet1Cap instead of glassCapSet1 and
glassSet2Cap instead of glassCapSet2

Also the letter casing of SPC postfix varies from font to font.
