Yeah :/ Didn't spot it until I made the import, and I can't change it now.

I think I've fixed the problem with the font pack, will commit in a short while :)

Okay, made several changes:

- Commmited EE's main code changes, and fixed the font pack!
- I've moved the design code into another addon - "ClearFont2_Design". You *need* this for CF to do anything. This way, the base code can be updated without messing with your design tweaks :)


Edit: oh, yeah ... perhaps we should get the mis-named "CleanFont2" removed? :P

Well, it's your addon, but I probably wouldn't have gone with splitting the addon up.

You probably could have achieved the same effect by coming up with a way of storing the font used for each item in the aceDB.

I'm not experienced enough with Lua or Ace to do that, tbh. This was just the easiest way for me to do it (for now) :P

Edit: EE, thanks for removing the CleanFont folder :P I just realised how to remove files, so I cleaned the Font Pack one too.

I might package a beta for the UI sites later - shall put Pack_1 in with it as an addon to show off what to do for a font plugin.

ooooo CF on ACE!? im in heaven! Tho if you could.........i would like it much if you included the font Emblem. Then my UI would be Perfect!

I'm guessing not this Emblem? :) http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/scriptorium/emblem/

Heh, I think I just got a copy of the one you mean. Shall see what I can do :)

Can I suggest that you include some of the free fonts from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ http://www.bitstream.com/font_rendering/products/dev_fonts/vera.html ?
You should be able to include copies of these on the SVN server without any copyright/license trouble.

I do have some of those in CF1, just haven't got around to sorting all the fonts for CF2. I'll see what I can do :)

I don't want to bloat the main package with too many fonts, so I shall have to start making packs, like a serif pack, a sans serif pack and the likes.

Edit: Vera Sans Mono is in Pack_1, I notice, but not the "normal" version.

ClearFont2 is looking nice

However, having multiple externals is pretty pointless, since the ClearFont2 mods are dependent on each other.

My point is that there would be an advantage to actually including some fonts in ClearFont on the SVN so that users wouldn't have to download an external package to get the addon working.

The Bitstream fonts are free/open source and can be distributed freely. I suspect that this isn't true for the other fonts that are being used with ClearFont.

did this thread go invisible or something?

edit: oh nvm.

I'm fairly certain he intends on including a few fonts in the ClearFont2 package, and that people won't have to download any of the font packs if they don't want to.

The idea of using free fonts isn't bad. It's not too hard to find good, free fonts out there to use.

Hmm? CF2 does come with several fonts.

The emblem i was referring to was the one in SCT. But im pretty sure you know what one i mean ^^

I do indeed. Shall sort it sometime :)

I've moved CF2 to trunk!
You can now find ClearFont2 and ClearFont2_Design on /files and WAU. You need both addons to run it! This isn't a final release, but it works well.

ClearFont2_Design has been removed and integrated into the addon itself.

See the changelog for details on how you can quickly do a custom design :)


You only need ClearFont2 to run the addon now!

You're probably fed up with people asking for different fonts.. so I'll add to your annoyance!

Charcoal.ttf!

Quality font mainly as it makes for a nice uncluttered Fubar and chat windows :)

[i]General note: when making suggestions for fonts, please try and provide a link for it :)[/i]

Charcoal is this? http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/apple/charcoal/charcoal/mac-ttf/7107/


[b]FontPack 1 is now also on the trunk.
To reiterate - ClearFont2 is now on the trunk, you do not need a CF2_Design addon as it has been integrated into the main addon.
Check the changelog.txt for info on making your own custom design!

[i]Edit: modified the original post with the latest changes.
