Vector fonts

The stock game draws text with bitmap fonts: every character is a small picture made for one size, so text gets blurry or blocky at high resolutions. Ringworld can draw text with TrueType and OpenType fonts instead, at the size the screen needs, so it stays sharp at any resolution.

  • Menus and HUD. Maps can replace the interface fonts with vector fonts. The map pack of the installation does it, so menus and HUD text are drawn in HD.
  • Chat. The chat font can be a vector font. See balltze_set_chat_font.
  • Plugins. Text added by plugins can use a vector font.

Maps without vector fonts keep their bitmap fonts. Map creators can find how to add them in Vector fonts.
