Title: Fonts.tbl TrueType support upon startup
Post by: Bryan See on June 07, 2017, 10:59:14 am: I'm trying out with a fonts.tbl file with three TrueType fonts and zero VFNT type fonts. However, when starting up, I get this message:

Code: [Select]

It appears that at least three VF fonts to be defined, not TrueType ones. The engine did not recognize these TrueType fonts upon startup. The solution is at least three fonts of either VF and TrueType must be loaded, so the TrueType fonts must be recognized first.

Post by: AdmiralRalwood on June 07, 2017, 12:16:49 pm: Could not reproduce; only way I get that error is if those fonts couldn't actually be found.

...You do understand that the .ttf files need to be in the /data/fonts/ folder, right?

Yes. Why cannot rename the folder that contains the .ttf files to "fonts" if the name is not?

...What? :wtf: What's stopping you from renaming your folders, exactly?

Post by: z64555 on June 13, 2017, 01:59:07 pm: There may already be a folder named "fonts"?

That would prevent you from renaming another folder to "fonts."

Yes, I did. I think the engine should rename the folder to fonts if it hadn't already.
Title: Re: Fonts.tbl TrueType support upon startup
Post by: The E on June 21, 2017, 01:16:44 pm: The engine will not rename any folders. The folder structure that you have to follow in order for data to get loaded is fixed (and can be seen on the wiki), and we will not add code to correct stupid mistakes modders make because they don't feel like following it.
