I don't like it much, either. But this was possible by deleting 18 bytes, and its NOT MONOSPACE, which changes the look from ugly to ok (I hope we can agree on that, except perhaps the person who chose the mono font). That's enough for me (until we find a good free sans serif font we can all agree upon). > By the way, when can we fix the problem of Warzone attempting to scan > the entire Windows font directory on startup?

I don't know how that works on Windows, but it should be possible to use a private font directory (but then you don't have fallback fonts, and the included font(s) have to provide all needed glyphs). > Let's apply the no texture_rectangle patch already.

Really? I enabled them and noticed nothing. Haven't played much since then though, only short testing. The question is, do we leave fancy new features off and if people discover the options they can enable them for themselves, or do we enable them, and they can disable them if they don't like it? Imo the second option is better (and by that logic, I should support leaving the rotating radar on), perhaps with a poll in the forums. > Trap Cursor should be on by default.

How about changing the config directory for trunk to .warzone2100-trunk instead? _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
