The additional attributes in the 20s range don't seem to fit.

default font is known not to be too optimal for many things.

admin reported to have tested the most recent patches on Verdana (settings: 8; normal; normal)


if you really want to go for the default font, the most similar one is Starcraft. i found it here, but feel free to google and look for "starcraft font": [www.dafont.com] https://www.dafont.com/starcraft.font

It does that for me, too. Always has, you just get used to it after so long.

The HV font is already Starcraft.


EDIT: After checking, I forgot it no longer overlaps with the numbers on the character page for me. I have the font size at 6 and then adjusted everything with NoSquint. It still overlaps on the repair page.

Thanks for telling the font name, noone mentioned it in custom font thread.
Now I don't have to switch persona to check ranges.
Also since numbers were different widths, i downloaded fontforge and edited them to the same widths, and also made them narrower. So supposedly this should solve your problem too, but I can't check.
So I added zip with ttf file, and someone.. can check.. maybe?
(Starcraft N, 8), try and see for yourself whether or not you need bold.

Updated slightly, here it is:

Pretty sure this isn't what it should look like (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

was right about to tell you to remove the bold, but if you say you already tried...

what are your settings, btw? possibily something to do with size/resolution combo?

Its because of your resolution. I don't think anything would help with that, and even if something will, everything would still look much thicker on lower res compared to original font.
Maybe you can find other versions of starcraft font that look better on your resolution.

Might try .otf type font and see if it helps at least a little.

It didn't help, so I removed this, ttf version got updated slightly.

It's the same as before basically (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Also, some way to fix the "1" taking less horizontal space than other numbers, therefore screwing up the aligment, that would be appreciated too (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Idk what could it be then, sorry. For me letters are a bit thicker than original too, but not to such extent:
[attachmentid=115391]

[EDIT] Oh, wait, if you tried the font I attached, and you didn't get the ones to line up with the rest, are you sure you restarted the browser and in HV font setup put the right name "Starcraft N"?

[Edit2] I were leaving my font settings in front of attachments (Starcraft N, 8, bold, normal). I do, however, have screen res of 2736x1824.

Edit: Tried to make it work with HVUT, well it didn't go so well, also hardcoding it into HVUT and resizing everything is a pain in the butt, and in the end it doesn't look particularily good:
[attachmentid=115392]
But who cares anyway?
If anyone from the future reads this, hi, future! Probably not.

Tried without bold, because the text is reeeeally too fat.

It's still a bit fat

Comparison (I disabled HVUT since it doesn't work with default (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)):
