Better game fonts (maybe with a poll?)

[abstractsense]

Font Library has a lot of free fonts under the Open Font License that would work great for this game.

We could maybe get a short list of fonts that would work well and vote on them. What do you think?

Possible rules:

• The fonts must be Open Font License (OFL)
• The fonts should be approximately sans serif (a serif font like this might be OK, but maybe aim for something like this or this)
• The fonts should support as many languages as possible
• Pick three fonts: one for dialogues, one for combat log/console, one general purpose

I agree... the game needs new fonts, will keep an eye on what is commented here and probably change some of them on next update.

OK, here are my suggestions. They are intentionally simple.

Dialogue font: https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/alegreya (try it out here)
General purpose font: https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/boon-v1-1 (try it out here)
Console font: https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/code-new-roman (try it out here)

I dont have any problem with the actual font. Maybe its not the most beautiful, but i think its somewhat unique and fits to the game.

Pretty sure they're old Windows fonts, i.e. not at all unique (that's actually the problem, they're modern, dull, overused fonts). Tahoma, Impact, and not sure what the console one is but it kinda looks like MS Sans Serif.
