Is ther any way to make cleaner the fonts? I can read them, but it would be helpful to improve the quality or resolution. Im playing 3.2, using the CD i bought.

I couldn't quite stomach the fonts as TOAW comes out of the box so I went through the Opart 3 Fonts.ini file and changed all the entries "windowsFont=Y" to "windowsFont=N" and that way the bit-mapped fonts are used and I can read it better. But then I'm using version 3.4 and I'm not completely sure that 3.2 uses the font file. I suggest trying it because it won't break anything to change the entries and it just might work for you too.

SS runes don't show in Windows fonts, so you have to use the bitmap fonts. I was never too happy with the bulky courier font in the stock graphics
I found this cleaner version, in the Rasca mod over at RD (link below, thanks to comrade Telumar).
It only came in the greyish, but I made me a gold version. I now use it for everything except placenames fonts where windows fonts are needed in the 3.4 scenarios which use mapoptional images
I'll eventually add it to my graphics pack.

Silvanski, I would love to try your font mod with the gold lettering. Is it available somewhere for download?
