Do you mean for personal DROD-related projects? I would assume so.

Can I vote for "tomnr", which I assume is the original font? Calthax, fonts are actually a large part of the artistic vision of a designer. I think that beside your own copy, merely suggesting that others change for no good reason to a different font, is kinda rude. However, if you were to design a font from scratch that added to the feel of the game, people would be more interested in changing.

I think that I, and probably others, don't really get the point of this thread.

Maybe you should tell us what you think is wrong with the current font, why it needs changing and what would be better.

You've given many examples of alternate fonts in this topic, but I'm guessing you don't think these other fonts are more DROD-like either. Please go ahead and provide a font that you think would work better.

What's more 'DROD-ish' than fonts that have been used for (correct me if I'm wrong) every single DROD release since AE?
