Default Dom2 Font ...

Looking at the screenshots, you see the Dom2 font is bold, nice and very readable, but I don't feel it to be "in the mood" of a Fantasy setting ... too serious, office-looking, dunno, but it is'nt right...
I liked the Dom1 font, more circonvoluted, manuscript-looking but IMHO more appropriate.

Maybe it's just that gothic fonts can't be read at 1024*768 or more, but I think that in this particular aspect Dom1 had BETTER art ...

Could we mod the fonts ?

I agree. Fantasy - medieval fonts would be better.

I agree too...
Also, the new wooden look isn't IMO so good as the old "stone" look, but this is only a minor whinge.

Funny you should say that, because the Dom II font was modeled from a font called Gothic.
