Well, I have always stated that if I learn something today, that makes me smarter than I was yesterday.

After, all of this I can now say that…..

I have a new courier screen without the borders.
I have learned a lot about how the gscreens file works.
I have learned how the gamefonts file works.
I now know how the game handles the pft, and the ttf files.
I never knew that windows made a program to install fonts through the control panel.

And the most important thing is that I’m not exactly sure which one I like the most, playing the game, or modding the game, that’s a tough call!

Any thought to having a reply button added to the courier screen.
So when you get a message asking a question.
You can reply to the person sending the message.
Just in case he is not on the list.

Every time I learn something new, it pushes something old out of my brain.

All of this for an extremely low price – hard too beat!

Well, Damn!.....LOL

I don’t play any of the Scenario’s or the Multi-Player games, so I’m not sure how that works. One of the team members would have to answer that one!

born2see – try this one out, thin writing – sort of slopping \ vaguely resembles – the other one you like.

Us computer guys describe that phenomena as "the buffers are full". Mine seem to have gotten smaller as I've grown older... :P

I like it. This is what it looks like at my highest resolution of 1366x768

D: How come we can't get Lamar Pen to look like that? Notice how I slipped the "we" in there? :evil:

Well, we are going to have to figure out \ find a program that allows us to edit a pft file.

Sort of hard considering that it is sort of old, so not that many people are going to be writing programs for it.

Hey, look at this letter I found on the Internet, I can hear the judge now How, can you find something that was reported as lost!

I had to splice it to make it wider, still have to add a thin border around it to even it up, but hopefully I can keep working on this one, and then make another one based off of it.

This is with the LDScript3.
