So, yes, Tyrel's mod does support
1º División Naval
2° División Naval
División Aérea N.ª 1
which it makes it very interesting for an expanded unitnames mod.
Unfortunately, Tyrel's mod works only for
Victoria Revolutions.
I've tested my revised armynamesXXL using vanilla AOD and its original font files. These are the results:
º
Looks like °. Works perfectly ok for the tooltip, but the small and large division names look like >>.
+ division name (tooltip)
- small division name (bold)
- large division name (bold)
Looks almost the same for all three uses.
SOLUTION: replace with o
ª
The ª is supported by the vanilla font file but instead of it a thin circle, not actually an o, is shown at the correct position which is - in contrast to the other characters used for division names - not bold. You might call it an overly inflated °.
- division name (tooltip)
- small division name (bold)
- large division name (bold)
Looks almost the same for all three uses.
SOLUTION: replace with a
°
The ° is not shown at all instead for all 3 uses a ± is shown.
- division name (tooltip)
- small division name (bold)
- large division name (bold)
Looks almost the same for all three uses.
SOLUTION: replace with o
Afterwards I've checked the vanilla font files more closely. The characters displayable by the font files range - according to the ASCII codes panel of notepad++ - from 33 to 255. Theoretically allmost all interesting characters should be displayable. There were some gaps in the files which just need to be filled to solve all our problem with certain special characters.
Therefore, I decided to do a little test by adding the character Ð to the font files. I've settled on modifying the three different Eurostilecond14 files.
At first I've used
paint.net which worked like a charm. Unfortunately, the file is shrunk by ~50% upon saving. Starting AOD proved me right that I've picked font files of the correct size but unfortunately all text of that size were greyed out.
Next try was using
Paint 3D. Not as easy as paint.net but it did its job, too. Well, this time the size of the file increased significantly but this didn't help either because no text of that size was seen at all.
As you can safely guess, I'm not very familiar with programs like these. Any input would be helpful.
