Hi! We are a small indie team making a game for Steam, and have purchased your font for use in tutorial messages.

Unfortunately, the font is missing some essential icons: mouse move and controller buttons (PS: circle, cross, rectangle, triangle, others: A, B, X, Y). Do you think you could add such icons?

Btw we have converted your txt list of characters into rtf/pdf with symbol preview, maybe somebody else would find it useful: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fnnlbuwb7mvl4un/IconMapping.rtf?dl=1 https://www.dropbox.com/s/nv75wck2uf0f2vg/IconMapping.pdf?dl=1

Hi there!

This font was designed to be button and console agnostic (with the exception of the specials buttons).

A new version of the font was in development (which included shared mapping for all consoles as separate fonts) however this was put on hiatus due to the increased complexity resulting in burnout from the project. I will at some point return to the newer version of the font but I cannot say with any confidence precisely when that will be.

If this is not the response you were hoping for and would like a refund, do not hesitate to ask. Otherwise all I can offer is the guide on how I put it together so that you can have a go at making your own.

This is understandable.

Do you have that new font available somewhere, even if its incomplete? Guide would also be useful!

You can see parts of it in the devlogs of this asset but unfortunately it remains vector files and had not made transition to ttf. I will be finishing it for my own personal project but it is currently bottom of my priority list.

For the how-to, give me a few days to write it up and I will add it as a downloadable asset on this page for everyone.

PS. The PDF is a great idea and I'll make sure to do it for version 2

Hey there, Sorry for the delay but the guide has uploaded as a PDF.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
