Contents
Overview
The standard Helvetica font in Oolite is functional and pleasant enough, but let's face it: it's not the most exciting font to look at. Changing the font can give Oolite a completely different look and feel, and help make the game look fresh.
This page is intended to bring together all the information on the various font files available for Oolite, to display a sample of each one, and provide download links for each one.
Installation
Unlike other OXP's you can only have one font file active at any one time. To install one of these font files, download the OXP to your AddOns folders, then hold the shift-key down while starting Oolite until the spinning Cobra appears. Alternatively, you can download each of these files through the download manager. They are all listed in the "Ambience" section, and all have a name starting with "Font".
If you attempt to install more than one font file, only the last one will take effect.
Available Fonts
There are, at the time of writing, 7 different font files available for Oolite.
3D
Description: Uses the standard Oolite font but adds a subtle 3d effect to the characters.

Dangerous
Description: (from BB post) "Seeing all those juicy Elite: Dangerous videos made me think that the skinny futuristic font (Dosis, a Google Webfont) it uses in the menus would be a nice
addition to Oolite. Font choice is, after all, a cornerstone of visual identity. It's a critical part of the overall atmosphere."

Standalone
Description: The Deepspace ships OXP used a font file based on the OCR A font. However, the license of the Deepspace OXP didn't allow it to be updated or to have the font file extracted. So user Zireael built a new font file based on the same character set and named it the "Standalone Font".
Download v1.0: FontStandalone.oxz (downloaded 1070 times).
Notes: This font file doesn't include all the characters in the OCR A font. For languages other than English the original Oolite font file characters will be used.
