| Summary | 0006656: Improve Carleton 24pt Font | ||||
| Description | For translation purposes, the "english" Carleton 24pt font has a number of shortcomings. This will likely affect an FM's Briefing and Objectives, and uses of this font within in the Main Menu system. Shortcomings include missing i18n characters, poor scaling, etc. It is proposed, during 2026, to fully analyze, repair, and complete Carleton 24pt, targeting TDM 2.15. Also within scope: required related work with other members of the Carleton 24pt family, namely Carleton Glow and Carleton Bold (and probably not Carleton Condensed). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | During i18n review with FM AirPocket (actually testAirPocketMessages), problems noted in passing were... Missing characters*: "ń" (0x9c in TDM charmap). Examples: Polish briefing & Objective 2 "ș" (0x9d in TDM charmap). Examples: Romanian briefing, Objectives "ț" (0x9e in TDM charmap). Examples: Romanian briefing, Objectives Probably upper case of these, at 8c, 8d, 8e, are also missing Other problems: "ß" (lower-case German Eszett, 0xdf in TDM charmap) is too high, needs DAT adjust. Examples: German objectives *(In planned AirPocket i18n 2026Q1 release, base character without accent will be substituted.) No doubt other such problems will emerge upon full analysis. | ||||
| Additional Information | Members of the Carleton family are widely used in the Main Menu. Some of these uses might involve the 48pt set, which is outside the scope of work. Also, some existing 24pt characters are legible but "smudgy"... improving these is optional for this project. No particular effort will be spent on Carleton Condensed, which is considered deprecated. Please assign this to Geep. It is higher priority than the companion "Improvements to Stone 48pt Font". | ||||
