Alrite there are Posts here and there concerning this matter, some were cleared up, and some were not. All in all, I'm going to explain it in a very user friendly way; step by step. Notice my low number of posts. I can proudly say i use the search funtion ;P.
Okay let's get to it. Conquer can't use any old font. None of that Comic Sans unfortunately. I'd like to have that myself. Instead it requires a Monospace font. This means that the letters are always equally spaced out. (That's my brief understanding of it anyway). I found [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] website that contains a few Monospace fonts, so you can choose the one you like. I'm currently using [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
Ok, Download a font that you like, I'll be using Anonymous as an example in this tutorial so I suggest you use that. (I also tested a number of other fonts on that website and found that this one is the best; both performance wise, and the best looking).
Step By Step
1. Download the .zip file. [once again that's [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].
2. Extract that to C:\WINDOWS\Fonts (It should say "Installing font")
3. Open your Conquer directory. C:\Program Files\Conquer 2.0
- Locate the ini folder
- Locate 2 .txt files; The first is called Font. The second is called StrRes.
4. In StrRes scroll down to number 10436 on the left side. ( This is your default conquer font. I believe it's courier, but it's labelled as 宋体 )
- You will see:
...
10436=宋体 <--Font Name
10437=14 <--Font Size
- Change 宋体 to AnonymousRegular (careful, It's case sensitive)
- Leave the size at 14, If this changes, it makes things go funny...The chat bar at the bottom becomes hard to navigate through, and where it says, "CharacterID.2 speaks to CharacterID.2" it will be overlapping etc.
Be sure to save this file now.
5. Now go to Font. The text file. This is a small text file. Simply says 宋体 14.
- Change 宋体 to AnonymousRegular
- Leave it at 14
Save this as well.
6. Close any conquer applications that may be open.
- Now run conquer.
Right away you should notice that the Log-In font is different.
- Proceed to log in and check out the new look.
Beautiful isn't it? The only thing that is slightly odd is the "~" character.
But I'd say the rest of the Letters, numbers, and symbols are improved.
I hope this helped to clear that simple issue up.
Please don't post something like.
"Wow, I already knew that."
Because if you already knew this, then it wasn't for you to be reading in the first place.
P.S. Attatched is the Font that I've been using. Just in case anything goes wrong with that.
Thanks for your time;
