    Id really like to work on the FONT issue. I've found the font folder in the ruleset and the associated base.xml. Experimenting with it, I've dropped a couple of different ttf fonts into the folder and tried to reference them in the base.xml doc insteag of the fgf font references. For instance Ichanged several of them to calibri.ttf. However when I load the ruleset fails to load with an error:

    [1/13/2020 8:23:49 PM] [<color="red">ERROR</color>] Error loading ruleset XML file. [Star Wars EotE] [graphics/fonts/base.xml]: 'name' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 4, position 46.
    [1/13/2020 8:23:49 PM] [NOTICE] Tabletop scene exiting.
    [1/13/2020 8:23:49 PM] [<color="red">ERROR</color>] Object (customdie) deleted without cleaning up attached Lua object.
    [1/13/2020 8:23:49 PM] [<color="red">ERROR</color>] Object (customdie) deleted without cleaning up attached Lua object.
    [1/13/2020 8:23:49 PM] [NOTICE] Launcher scene starting.

    If anyone can help with how to fix the fonts its greatly apperciated.

    The first things would be to look at the file "graphics/fonts/base.xml"
    Then look on line 4, see the attribute 'name'? It's duplicate. Then do a Find or Find in Files for the same and see if you can figure out where else it is used. Then figure out which of the two you can delete or rename.

    Then see if that works and what errors happen next. Track down one at a time :O

    OK so I was pretty sure that was the problem since I was using the same font for multiple items listed in the base.xml, but I was basing the naming structure on the way the existing ttf fonts were named. If I want to use the same font for multiple items in the ruleset that means I would have to name the font simply somethng like: calibri_1, calibri_2, etc etc? to avoid the error? That seems like the simple fix.

    Sorry, that's beyond my knowledge, but, I would not think so....

    I assume (!) That you are defining it twice and only need to define e it once, then everywhere else just reference or use it. I only poke at code though, so I'm stretching here.

    Hopefully one of the folks who actually knows code can clarify.

    You should be able to use the same TTF font for multiple FG <font> definitions.

    Please post the graphics/fonts/base.xml file that raises the error.

    Let me play around with the information you and Lord Entrails posted for a couple of days and see what I can do. I am trying to understand how the coding works. If I still can't figure it out I will post the file for some input. Thanks! I want to do my part in keeping this ruleset alive depsite the bad news coming from FFG!

    OK so I've gotten the program to load with no font errors. Not sure if they are all working though. It seems like italics and bold selections in the story windows (cntrl b and cntrl i) do not work. And when highlighting a word there is no option to make it bold or italic through the radial menu. It probably needs some cleaning up. The next question: does anyone know what fonts were used to create the .fgf fonts for FG Classic? (I simply used some fonts as a test font). If so I believe I can duplicate the look of the original classic story windows etc.

    That being said, the links do not work from the story windows (or other windows as far as I can tell.) Any idea how to fix those?

    Attached is the base.xml file from the graphics/font folder. One note is that I left the fgf references for now. But I know those won't be needed anymore and can be removed.

    The fonts I used (ITC-Symbol etc etc) are located in the graphics/fonts/ITC_Symbol subfolder. I can upload that folder if needed.

    Just as a follow-up, I tested the dice rolling again today and was unable to get the error to occur, it looks like whatever was behind that problem has been handled in a FGU update.

    What you would likely do with the fonts is start with Noto Sans and edit the font character set to add in the special dice symbols over the lease used characters. At some point this will create an issue but it seems unavoidable really.

    Use the same character codes as the FGF FG Classic fonts so that data will be compatible between the two version.
