CL-related font "Xana Sans"

Postby Jeremified » Tue Sep 09, 2008 12:33 am

Those working with Code Lyoko graphics may already be familiar with the bitmap font "Gunship Bitmap". It's only good for 10-point text because it gets pixelly at larger sizes. Hence I've made my own version of the font, named Xana Sans, using FontStruct. The edges are smoothed out so it works well at all resolutions.

Right now the letter and number glyphs are pretty much finalized, but the punctuation still needs some work. I've also noticed that the rounded edges look a bit distorted. Part of this problem is the fact that it's optimized for Flash, rather than regular font usage. I'll see what I can do about that.
thank you all for the good memories <3

Err... you can download, like, six different TrueType versions of Gunship from the creator's website.

Since the font is called "XANA Sans" would it be difficult to include a special glyph for The Eye of XANA?

Oh... I never really bothered to look at the original website. :/
So I should probably take this down, then?

EDIT: Also, the asterisk is a Xana eye glyph. You and I were thinking on the same page apparently, Oran. :)
