Summary | 0006642: Extend Mason Font to All Cyrillic Characters | ||||
Description | While TDM's Mason 48pt font has historically been used for the main menu, kalinovka wishes to use it in an FM. But the /russian/ version is missing a significant number of Cyrillic characters. Work is underway to fix this for TDM 2.14. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | The limited coverage in TDM 2.13 may be seen in this screenshot of dev FM testMason: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22736-font-localization/page/2/#findComment-503417 | ||||
Additional Information | Please assign this bugtracker ticket to Geep. See the forum "Font localization" thread for - - Current evolving workplan - Additional dev FMs, e.g., testLora and screenshots - Use of new program ExportUnicodeToDoom3 - DAT editing, and conversion with Refont - WIP milestones reached Detail work is underway with kalinovka in a private DM thread. | ||||

After a period of quiet development and test by Geep & kalinovka, the deliverables for this project are now available, Check out today's (Oct 14th) posting to the "Font Localization" thread, titled "Cyrillic Mason Released". https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22736-font-localization/page/2/#findComment-504004 This post has links to the pertinent resources and documents. In particular, download and install the FM testMasonLora3Way.pk4, and gather the following items intended for distribution: - testMasonLora3Way/fonts/russian/mason/fontimage_48.dat - testMasonLora3Way/fonts/russian/mason/License.txt and under testMasonLora3Way/dds/fonts/russian/mason/ - masonalternate_0_48.dds - masonalternate_1_48.dds - masonalternate_2_48.dds - masonalternate_3_48.dds - masonalternate_4_48.dds - masonalternate_5_48.dds - lora45_as_mason_6_48.dds - lora45_as_mason_7_48.dds - lora54_as_mason_8_48.dds - lora54_as_mason_9_48.dds - lora54_as_mason_10_48.dds The "masonalternate...dds" files are those from the TDM 2.13 /english/ set, not /russian/ set. Also, new dds files lora45... and lora54... are named differently on purpose, not a typo. Likewise intended for distribution are all the .../mason_glow/... files that are simply clones of the foregoing .../mason/... files. The posting also provides links to 2 supplementary files that may be distributed, and/or included in some SVN archive: - A Word doc detailing the project's choices, distributables, and testing. It will probably answer most questions you have. - A .ref file, used to generate the .dat, with project-specific annotations. At this point, we hope to hand off these resources to admins for incorporation into a 2.14 beta release at an appropriate time. |
