That is pretty much the reason I was looking for an upgrade (and its subpar performance, especially on first time starting the game after rebooting, which causes the hacky independent timer to start too early and not show the end of the video). Also weird is that for a split second there is a black panel shown in top left corner for a split second and then moved to the center before the video starts (but that may possibly be improved in FreeCol code). > > I found jogg/jorbis got some newer version 0.0.17 for a long > > time: http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/ > > Good. > > > It would be useful to upgrade, as the changelog mentions > > some performance upgrades. > > Its probably worth doing.

I think most Linux distros will provide their own jar libraries, I saw debian using 0.0.17 for a long time, too. That means the upgrade is more relevant for the people downloading from SF, which is mostly Windows and maybe Mac users. I can not discern from your reply if you want to compile it yourself or use the jar download I mentioned? I pushed it to my fork now to prevent polluting the official repo with the jar file. In case you'd like to reuse the build.xml edits it should be easy to rebase -i and commit --amend. https://sourceforge.net/u/wintertime/freecol/ci/jorbis17/tree/ > Speaking of which, I have played for a fair bit now with the old fonts > re-enabled.

If we want private fonts we may want to replace them. Though, I would still say providing private fonts, if they look nice and contain the complete glyph set for all localizations, is better. It guarantees all glyphs are there for all people, look the same, are the same size and there'd need to be less testing for all layout changes.
