I can see this will be painful if done in public.:rotfl:

Yep

, but it's probably best to check out what each real certificate looked like.
I'll PM you with more details.

danlisa · 02-25-08, 06:02 PM

Sweet.

Thanks.

PS. Going to bed now, got a better offer.

Boris · 02-25-08, 06:03 PM

ight, good night then.

Boris · 02-25-08, 06:19 PM

Those first two look great! Love the font.

Would anyone on these forums happen to have that, or the other gothic font used on the iron cross certificate, or as close to as only possible?

How would this eventually work? Would the certificate output in HTML (ala Patrol Record)? If so, you could probably have 1x cert template and then only change/renew the medal graphics as needed.:hmm:

Otherwise, I can easily get a full set together in any format you like, doing my best to replicate the originals from scratch. They're misaligned and pixelated <shudder>.

No constraints. I picture it working this way - on your current Personnel File, the medal names will contain a hyperlink to a tga/bmp or some kind of image file that will be the associated certificate. This means one certificate for each of the medals *and* the three badges.

I envisage that when SH3Cmdr generates the Personnel File it will print the personal details directly onto the tga file.

Of course, that's the plan...

Just emailled you a few, including the closest one I have - Behrens-Schrift. Also check here for a vast selection of Germanic fonts... http://moorstation.org/typoasis/desi...mann/index.htm including aforementioned Behrens-Schrift.

Talking about fonts, does anyone have a good, and freely distributable, typewriter font? I would like to replace the courier new font in the Personnel Files with something a bit more authentic.

Freely distributable means that I can include it with SH3Cmdr and register it when loading.

danlisa · 02-26-08, 03:24 AM

See anything you like? All Free.

JScones · 02-26-08, 03:35 AM

Maybe 1942 and the New Roman one.

I tried Typical Writer, but it was too solid and overpowering.

BTW, does everyone's machine have Lucida Handwriting, Mistral and Rage Italic installed?

danlisa · 02-26-08, 03:39 AM

1942 - http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/1942_report.html

New Roman - http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts...new_roman.html

I'll check mine later but if they're not standard XP fonts, I doubt it.

JScones · 02-26-08, 04:07 AM

Thanks.

Otherwise I guess I'll be looking for good free handwriting fonts too.

bert8for3 · 02-26-08, 06:08 AM

Typewriter fonts ... there's also one called Old Typewriter, although possibly a bit heavy-looking. See www.dafont.com .

ToySoldier · 02-26-08, 08:43 AM

Hello out there!

Sorry to disturp ya all!

I´ve searched a bit and found some Kriegsmarine documents!

Not to insult one of ya posting here but the one JScones posted is for Infanterie, you can see it by the signiture!

So here the one for Eisernes Kreuz:
http://www.wehrmachtlexikon.de/archi...104e01682ad564

And one for the U-Boot Kriegsabzeichen:
http://www.wehrmachtlexikon.de/archi...104e01682ad564

And normaly they where writen with a typwriter (IMHO this

would fit the best!

Just a suggestion!

And if somebody preferred a handwriting ... this will be a pain in the ars til 1942, because till then the "official" handwriting was Korrent (mostly false called Sütterlin)
and beginning with 1943 we germans us also Latin Letters.
Here is a free DL for Sütterlin ... but I didn´t check it

Edit: (Upppssss sorry forget the Link *schäm* .... also:
http://www.computerwissen.de/downloa...er-window.html
in the right corner where "Sütterlin" stands)

In diesem Sinne

The handwriting taught in schools during the NS-Regime was actually Sütterlin, which was a reformed form of kurrent, which is much older. Kurrent is falsely called Sütterlin, but Sütterlin is a development and standardisation of Kurrent, which was made official in 1935.
Most German today can't even read it though, and it's considered a Nazi-script by many. No way the average silent hunter player could read it, that's for sure.
