NYGM TW 2.2 Font Problem

KeldorKatarn · 10-14-06, 06:56 PM

I recently noticed an error in the display of a convoy's data:

What's supposed to be written here is:
23:40
Großer Geleitzug
Nord

This error seems to be caused by this font file:
FPPencil12.tga
Which is replaced in NYGM TW 2.2. The replacement lacks all small letters.
Is there any logical reason for this?
All it does for me is screwing up my information on the screen.
I am sure you guys had a plan for this font file, it just looks like it's not working
out for me, at least not while using the German texts, but from what I've seen
all info in the en_menu.txt is even worse, since the convoy info is in small
letters entirely so the info is probably not displayed at all.
Is this intentional?

I believe the intent behind this was to remove information about contacts from the map screen. Since it's not possible to not have the information be reported at all, the compromise was to write it in invisible letters.

If you don't like how it's working, you can simply replace the font file with the orginial, that should result in you getting more information on your map.
