| '''Font collection''' is bitmap fonts used by game engine to represent text.
| | #REDIRECT [[OpenXcom]] |
| | |
| Original UFO/TFTD engine uses two font types: big ([[BIGLETS.DAT]], 16x16 pixels per character) and small ([[SMALLSET.DAT]], 8x9 pixels per character) for Battlescape and Geoscape. But OpenXcom uses four font types: FontBig, FontGeoBig, FontSmall, FontGeoSmall. All of them described in *.dat file (which is actually YAML-file). Default font collection is placed in Language folder and named simply '''Font.dat'''.

| ''*.dat'' is divided in two sections: ''chars'' and ''fonts''. ''chars'' is string which contain all available characters, provided by this font collection. ''font'' section is bit more complicated:
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable" width="100%"
| |
| ! width="150"| Value
| |
| ! width="*" | Description
| |
| ! width="80" | Default
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''id'''
| |
| | Type of charmap
| |
| | Should be '''FONT_BIG''', '''FONT_SMALL''', '''FONT_GEO_BIG''', or '''FONT_GEO_SMALL'''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''image'''
| |
| | Relative path to PNG-file with contains actual glyphes
| |
| |
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''width'''
| |
| | Width of a character
| |
| |
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''height'''
| |
| | Height of a character
| |
| |
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''spacing'''
| |
| | Spacing between two characters.
| |
| |
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| Each character in PNG-file have own rectangle with ''width'' and ''height''. Characters shouldn't overlapping each other. Characters in *.png-file placed by groups with 16 characters in each group and ordered accordingly ''chars'' string. So if you want find actual character in *.png file, here formula:
| |
| | |
| <code>
| |
| y = (''<number in chars>'' div 16) * ''height''
| |
| | |
| x = (''<number in chars>'' mod 16) * ''width''
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| Here example for default ''Font.dat'':
| |
| | |

| ==Customizing==
| |
| If you want customize font you can make it as mod. During initialization OpenXcom engine searches in [[Ruleset Reference (OpenXcom)|Ruleset]] ''fontName'' string, which by default is ''Font.dat''. You can redefine this string to another file, for example ''MyFont.dat'', and replace some ''image'' strings to your *.png-files.
| |
| | |
| Just remember, *.dat file should be placed in Language folder, and *.png files are searched relative to *.dat file!
