GUI 2.06 is the latest.  That means it's a problem on my system.  I'll take this to the problem thread.

Try turning off the cache and see if that clears it up.

Aha!  Interesting.  That did solve the problem.  Though I think I'll have to end up reinstalling FFVII again because I've tinkered with battle models and cloud's actually missing his mouth texture for some reason.  Also I take it back about the restore spell, it's still low res.  I'm going to take a look into setting that up in my modpath folder.

Might be a good idea to make the installer delete those files (using bat file could do this easily).  Also where is the corrected version of the mod?  2.07

2.06 works perfect.  Also you can turn caching on without problems if you upgrade to aali's .7.9b.

EDIT:  Looking down below I can see I'm clearly wrong and will stop talking.  :mrgreen:

Right so I figured Verdana isn't 100% close to the FF7 font, but as a standard font it's the closest to the original you can get.
So out of sheer boredom, I went over the old fonts in Flash with the line tool, the results aren't bad:

Still a little glitchy, but I think it's more accurate than verdana is. Thoughts?

It seems to look cartoony, like comic sans.

IIRC, it was determined that the PSX font was probably based on Verdana, and the PC font was upscaled from the PSX font without regards to what it may originally have looked like. The PC font is pure Eidos, not S-E, and probably not a good basis for accurately guessing their intent.

Verdana it is then xD

There are a few differences with Verdana though, I just wonder why they'd go to the trouble of making the bar of the 'e' higher etc.
And yeah, it does look quite cartoony, it's more rounded than the original, but that's one of the limitations of using flash D:

I already told you in IRC that I like it. It works a lot better than the old one, and is a lot smoother than the built-in one.

I hate it....  Get's on my nerves.  We need change now.

Thanks for all your hard work but no thanks, as it is a thankless job.  ;)  :evil:

Microsoft security essential found a trojan in FFVIIBarCorrectionPatch.exe in version 2.07, but I think is a false positive :).

make sure you disable antivirus while installing the patch (you will prob have to run installer again to correct the limit bars).

@sl1982, You will probably have to use the 300KB version of that patch I have you.

I personally like a lot the two screen of the original font upscaled that NCS posted. It's way closer to the original than the font currently being used. I think it's what basically the font should have been since the start, a polished and upscaled version of the original one. The letters width, shadowing, looks and spacing are just spot on. Would be awesome to see NCS effort continued and perhaps, offered as an alternative in the future to the current font. Great job NCS!

If that is what people wish maybe you can convince NCS to do it. I do not plan on redoing the font a third time. People do not realize how much time it takes to do this.
