[English font] GD clear fonts + london gothic fonts OR normal clean fonts versions

[stargater]

File is smaller as i had removed other languages and only English.

Highly compatible with higher resolution. I am using 3600x2024 resolution (thanks to deferred rendering).

Step to install:

1. Backup your grim dawn/resources/fonts.arc file
2. Replace it with my fonts.arc
3. If Crate patch again, the fonts.arc will be reset, just redo the replacement.

note : If the World Map fonts are squished together, you need to tweak your GUI rescale just by 1. This should fix it.

Every one of those shots is blurry as hell for me. Why spoiler them?

[stargater]

Removed spoiler.

[powbam]

I like it and it fixes the kerning spacing issue for the Enemy Health Bars but I do have one request… Could you perhaps pack an ‘alternate’ normal version that doesn’t use the London Gothic font for the titles and such?

[stargater]

@powbam : Is the the kerning spacing issue for the Enemy Health Bars introduced in recent patch 1.1.4.0 ? I am not aware of it. Not sure what that is.
Didnt you like the london gothic ? too glaring ?
The item name title, constellation name, etc are tied to briosopro.fnt, I will try it tomorrow evening.

[powbam]

Is the the kerning spacing issue for the Enemy Health Bars introduced in recent patch 1.1.4.0 ? I am not aware of it. Not sure what that is.
I will repack a normal version tomorrow evening. Hopefully it will go well.

Thank you and yes the kerning issue is new and came with the patch and the new feature. I had hoped that Crate was going to change it before the patch released but it appears they ignored my suggestions to do so. Now the rest of the public is pretty much requesting it be changed as well so I expect it will be rectified by next patch.

Your fonts seem to over-ride Crates setting for it tho and the spacing is normal.

[powbam]

Didnt you like the london gothic ? too glaring ?

Yeah, I just find it hard to read quickly when I am in the middle of battle. I need something my eyes can effortlessly/rapidly digest on the fly.

[EvilGinger]

Not a fan of London Gothic myself. Too difficult for me to look at, even with my bifocals on. Or perhaps because of my bifocals. It’s “pretty”, but a bit too “busy” for my eyes, to be able to read quickly during battle, or at length when out of battle trying to compare weapons, or gear.

It’s a mod, so i don’t have to use it. And honestly, I won’t. My eyes are hurting already, just from trying to read all of the text in the images you posted.

[LightningYu]

First of all, while i give you credit for sharing it with us and showing us, that everyone who might have issue with the Fonts of GD can fix it themself, and take in consideration that i’m one of the weirdos which find the new Font of the Top-Hud introduced with 1.1.4.0 readable and immersive… i have a pretty hard time to read the names of this font, alteast in that iteration. Than again, the tooltips itself are pretty readable, maybe even more than Maingame, but it doesn’t fit GD for me.

Still thanks and amazing job!

[stargater]

Here is the normal version of FONTS.ARC
If you dont like it, just revert back to Crate one. It’s just personal preference.
https://mega.nz/#!ytlHhCTQ!xWlMtCOnd6x_gOI7uM5rpsXr2ZH3X4JWWnCjFWenAGk

[powbam]

That’s perfect. Thank you.

Update: Just thought I should add my own screen showing loot on the ground. Perfectly readable for me now. Wish we’d have had this long ago because I actually do agree that the GD default fonts could be improved/upgraded.

But until/if that day ever comes, this works quite nicely.

And I gotta say that these fonts combined with the Grim UI theme makes the Quest/Journals absolutely beautiful to read now. Great work to the both of ya.

What kinda luck is it that you both pretty much released both of these within a day of each other? Couldn’t have planned that any better I think

[stargater]

i was thinking the same, weird kind of luck with JMD GRIM UI.
I am trying to perfect the World Map fonts , even default Crate’s one is smudgy.
I am also saying that Crate should have improve their fonts - it’s also an immense quality of life for avid GD players.

[powbam]

I am trying to perfect the World Map fonts , even default Crate’s one is smudgy.

Yeah I agree there about the map. Might have to go with something a little thinner on it I think.

[stargater]

i got it working for the world map for cleaner font - normal version

(Updated top post)
Here is comparison:
Crate’s:

Stargater version:

[powbam]

Looking good. I am noticing that on the default UI scale/zoom it seems to ‘squish’ the letters into each other. If I increase the size then it tends to space out more. I’m at 1920x1080 btw if that matters.

I’m guessing this might be a limitation of the map itself.

[stargater]

@powbam yea it’s out of my control, the map has auto resize due to GUI rescale. Just rescale your GUI by 1? i think it should fix it.

[powbam]

@powbam yea it’s out of my control, the map has auto resize due to GUI rescale. Just rescale your GUI by 1? i think it should fix it.

Yeah tweaking it up a hair alleviates most of the ‘squish’. I don’t like my UI too big tho but I can live with this and anyway I’ve been playing long enough to have most everything memorized

[stargater]

i am actually happy that you requested for “normal” fonts, i kinda like it as well. haha.
It’s helping my eyes as i have astigmatism i.e seeing double vision.

[powbam]

lol nice… glad you like

[KamisamaLolz]

Hello. Thanks for the mod! The updated font however seems to be breaking the Color Filter mod in a way when dropped items can’t be readable. There is a mess of symbols instead. Everything is fine with the original fancy font version.
I would also like to ask, why no love for other languages? Is it simply too much work?
