Feature: New text engine
« on: October 03, 2008, 01:05:33 AM »
I think this game needs a new font... something variable-width, easier to read, less space-consuming. Of course I wouldn't be surprised if that would require a complete re-write of the text generation engine ... but that would be welcome too :)

I think it would also help the game seem a little less outdated to some.

This should be the least of the worries for dp. This wont help new players learn the game or stick around. Thats what we need to worry about in the times were in, getting new players and making them stick around... not a new font waste of time IMO.

While I sort of agree, this would be useful for some features that might help new players integrate a little better, such as:
- Integrated chat, with a reasonable font size
- More information displayed on in-game server browser.
