HiRes Fonts (Total rip off of Big Fonts)

[MacDork]

Just crack it open and experiment...

I have;

What sort of conversion do you do to a font to make it a ".fgf"?

How do you export just one font size? I have .ttf files that contain all sizes, but don't know how to get just one size.

<ttf file="graphics/fonts/Ubuntu-R.ttf" name="Ubuntu" size="18" />

Unless this extension has changed since I last fooled with it, all the fonts are TTF anyway so the correct markup is already there. Just replace the appropriate ones with the font you want.

Awesome -- thank you

Details on the <font> definition in the Developer Guide Wiki here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/refdoc/font.xcp

And there are lots of examples in the above extension and in FG rulesets - usually in the \graphics directory of the ruleset.

Thanks -- the reference is helpful. I got hung up on the odd file extensions in the 14 point font example I started examining, but it all makes sense now. Thanks everyone!

The only way to fix it (currently) is to define a new window definition for the library category and overwrite CoreRPG with it. Had to do the same thing.

Is there an instruction anywhere on how to do this?

[Talyn]

Nope. The trick I use in all my Savage World themes (since I normally replace reference-h with a custom font from the official setting books) is:

<font name="library-category">
	<ttf file="graphics/fonts/MarcellusSC-Regular.ttf" name="Marcellus SC" size="24" />
	<color value="#000000" />
</font>

That creates a new font titled 'library-category' (just something I chose randomly; use whatever makes sense) which is otherwise an exact duplicate of the 'reference-h' font from CoreRPG. Then I overwrite the 'library_booklistcategory' window frame with:

<windowclass name="library_booklistcategory">
	<margins control="0,0,0,2" />
	<frame>rowshade</frame>
	<sheetdata>
		<stringcontrol name="name">
			<bounds>5,2,-1,24</bounds>
			<font>library-category</font>
			<static />
		</stringcontrol>
	</sheetdata>
</windowclass>

Which, again, is an exact duplicate of the normal 'library_booklistcategory' except I'm replacing the font with the new one.

Oh, that's excellent, exactly what I needed, thank you!

Fabulous extension - lets me shrink the UI to get more on the page while keeping everything readable. Thanks!

Moved to Armory forum with other extensions.
