I see what you did there

the spacing is a big issue, but I am not sure anything can be done about it in game by a simply font change?  or can it?

Not really, If i start arbitrarily changing the width of letters to make it look better it will look fine in some spots, ok in others, and down right horrible in the rest. Look at the spacing issues with v1 for examples. This would have to be something modified in the game executable.

I guess Aali for that, or someone who understands assembly, because unfortunately me and Krans cant do it

I would imagine so. As KM points out, FF7 doesn't print monospace.

You just need to find a nice-looking font that fills out its glyphs well. If you tell me how FF7 processes the glyphs, or provide a link, I might be able to dig up a font that works well for you.

Hi guys, thanks for all your great work and hope this is the right thread to post in.

I installed 2.0.8 and couldn't get it to work; I eventually realized that the installer had added a new "mod_path" line at the top of the file but hadn't removed the existing line, which created a conflict.  No biggie and an easy fix but figured I'd share in case anybody else runs across the same issue.

Also, the installer appears to change permissions on the ff7_opengl.cfg file so that only admins have read privileges.  Again, a minor thing but it might be worth looking at (or not, since the game doesn't really run without admin privileges in the first place).

(EDIT: Tried installing 2.0.8 on another computer and neither of these problems occurred.  Not sure why they happened on the first computer but the perms change, at least, happened with both 2.0.5 and 2.0.8 on that first one.  So I've been able to duplicate the problem on the same computer but not on a second one.)

Also, the sticky thread still links 2.0.5 and I didn't initially notice this thread had a newer version.

Thanks again for the mod and hope I've been some help to somebody.

Thanks for the info, i was not aware the sticky still linked 2.0.5.
