  OK, We are trying to find a fitting 8x8 font for Lennus-II. We have a test font running now but it
feels a bit big for what screen space there is available. So we ask if anyone have a shorter and or slimmer font that would be fitting for this game. Here is what we have now...


  The other problem we are having is this... I assume that this next picture means "The End"
but I'm unsure. I ask if you, the scene, feel it should be changed to english? Thanks for your input!

Spinner8 would suggest your translation be labeled as incomplete if you didn't translate that graphic.

I would suggest otherwise, actually. The sign isn't Japanese; it's weird Lennus language. And it looks kind of cool, to boot.

If you must do something to it, put a tiny little "THE END" in small block letters underneath the line, but leave the graphic as is.

Gideon beat me to the punch, but yeah, that’s not Japanese.

Don’t have a font myself... but should the replacement be 8x8 as well? Slimmer would be simple to manage, but shorter wouldn’t be so easy.

Ugh. For some reason, I really hate that font.
Definitely a slimmer font.
I don't think the original Lennus 8x8 font was too bad. Possibly some touch-ups.

You could steal the font from Pokémon G/S. Tongue It's a nice slim font.

That's the whole thing. I don't know if it would feel "complete" if that graphic was not changed.
But I don't know. I have mixed feels about it. I'm sure someone would point out that it is not translated
and we would have to go back and change it to something english. Sad

I doubt that many people would complain about it. I mean, it's obviously not Japanese. Are there any other places where this language is used in-game?

  Hmm... hat font looks good. May just do the trick. Let me run it by Draken and see what he says.
Thanks! Smiley

Nah. I haven't seen any other instances where that language is used. I will talk with Draken and see what he says about it. Maybe we can make a final decision on it soon.
