Anyone know how to get this thing working? If you've ever tried Soldat in Linux, everyone knows the font is really the only problem. With this I would think that you would be able to fix it. But I have no idea how to get it working. I'm trying it in Windows, chaning the /Txt/Font.ini to use Arial and Comic Sans MS (testing it out :P) but it doesn't work. I try moving the fonts to the Soldat folder and still nothing. I try making a mod folder called font, with the 2 fonts in it, the Txt folder and a fon.ini using those fonts and running soldat with the -mod parameter and still nothing! How does it work?

Yeah, me too... michal, can you help us? :(

read what I posted.

If that doesn't work, I have no idea why. Because I can change fonts just fine using the way I posted.

I was wondering the same. I'll test what you said, Ninja.

Well, i tried the methond. I put halo.ttf into my directory and changed my font.ini file to:

[FONT]
Font1=Halo
Font2=Halo

(yes the name of the font is Halo)

And nothing happened. I even tried deleting the font.ini file, and there was no error when loading.......

Show me where you get the Halo font.

Can't rlly remember... but i tried the same with Arial.ttf and AgencyR.ttf (which is Agency FB) and a couple of others...maybe u need to be registered?

Oh yes, and i also tried putting lucida console for both....nothing happened.

I read from the other thread that if you used the 1.2.1-1.3 patch, the font doesn't work. But if you download 1.3 full, then it works. Which one did u download??

1.3 full....i never use patches

Shouldnt this be moved to modding help?

You must be registered!

Ah, you see, I was right all along :D...

No hopez for me i guess... maybe i'll think of something else to try.

Really? That's odd, then why is it even mentioned that the font.ini is for "mods and translations" if ony registered people can use em? :P

Thats just like you can only have reg interfaces if you are reg.

You don't have to be registered to change font, mickle89. I just confirmed it with someone else.

I found out the reason why, i updated the method in my other thread: http://www.soldatforums.com/topic.asp?topic_id=26241

Basically, you need to install the font in windows and also have a copy of the font in your Soldat directory.

Here is a screen of me using the Halo font:

Thats what I did before I had the key uninstalled and the font didn't change. Oh well.

oops...What size are the fonts in Soldat.

dude stop double posting, use the edit button man. And I do not know the size of the font.

What about if you want to use a font already installed?

Yeah, it doesnt work with Gill Sans MT, which is a standard windows font..

oh yeah, i tried switching the 2 fonts and nothing happened. As in, Font 1= Lucida console. Nothing happened either waysz
