FFVI Font Cleanup
« on: July 02, 2009, 06:05:19 PM »
Yeah, I'm bored and have nothing to do. Well, actually, I could be correcting some song lyrics or reading a light novel, but still.

So, yeah. The FFVI font, Chicago, has some issues with it. Firstly, the 12x12 (or whatever) font. It has an extra spaces on the rightmost side of the font; real Chicago doesn't have this.

Secondly, the 8x8 font. Anyone who's anyone knows that in its current state, I hate the little bastard. I'll simply be turning it into the Bahamut Lagoon variation.

That's pretty much it. Hopefully this won't make me go "RAEG".

 :edit:
Dialogue font's done.

 :edit:
Patch is done and attached. Screenshots below.





 :edit:
bad patch. see below for new one.

not bad, but the "0"s on both screens look a little "8"-ish for my tastes.  maybe i'd adjust if i played it for multiple minutes, but that's my initial impression.

The zeroes? Yeah, I was mainly trying to distinguish them from the Os, actually.

 :edit:
 :wtf:
I'm...not even going to try and understand what's going on here. I applied the patch to edit something and now it refuses to load the game.

Uh...yeah... Lemme try something and see if it works.

 :edit:
Maybe I should've been slightly suspicious when a font-only patch turned out to be 170 KB.  :isuck: New one coming up soon.

 :edit:
Pretty much done other than the fact that the damn ~ in the "ATB gauge off" setting is driving me crazy looking for it.

 :edit:
fixed it. enjoy.

 :edit:
updated in post below

New update attached. And no, the version number isn't a typo.

From the readme: "I decided to leave all the extra stuff to other people. This is really only meant to be a base. If I had gone any further, this patch would've ceased to be a font cleanup and would become a text cleanup."
