Development on version 2.x (France edition)

That'll help a lot!

I've been looking for a document like this for weeks, and I only found it today. I think it'll help you a lot because Google StreetView doesn't do a great job regarding the signs on the side. Most of these signs are deformed, and that obviously includes the characters.



So the first line is the font I've been using so far. Line 2 is the font file you sent earlier. Last line is what the sign should look like according to the PDF document (I copy-pasted the characters in a hurry, so they're not aligned). As you can see, the real L5 font does not make the characters "thin" (see the characters "a" and "o"). That was the problem I encountered with most of the fonts I found.

Other than that, you did an amazing job! If you want to do the entire font, just take your time. The document I found has all the characters in good quality and with the correct width and height. And of course, thank you

I noticed the differences earlier, I'm actually going through re-doing all the characters. The shapes are mostly right, they're just mostly horizontally squished. I'd underestimated how wide the characters were.

I've re-done:
A, a, B, b, C, c, D, d, E, e, F, f, G, g, H, h, I, i, J, j, K, k, L, l, M, m, N, n, O, o and €.

That's what I meant by 'thin'. Shapes are really good, it's just a width/height problem, but the bad StreetView pictures are tricky.

This one's the full character set as defined in that PDF with some extras excluding the OE ones:

I haven't tuned the Kerning or set up Kerning pairs yet, so you'll have to do that manually in Photoshop's Character Panel. The double chevrons in the PDF can be accessed using their US International or ALT Gr key combination, I don't know what it is. EDIT: I've just noticed the kerning on < is wrong. Too late to fix it now.

It should install straight over the top of my old TTF one.

Well I made a few tests, but apparently this font is amazing! Thank you

While the landscaping in France is outstanding to aim for as much realism as possible, I wonder why so many standard unrealistic prefabs are used where one lane gets a exit and one lane keep highway. In other parts of promods I see them dissapear. I don't know if a lot of these exits are realistic in France, there are some I know of. Are you planning to replace them in future developments? Other then that great work!

Answer is simple, make an exchanger with prefab of Scs take 2 minutes (time to found it in the list) but make a custom exchanger take very long time.

How much time I have used to make and optimize this one?

With ten hours, I am not sure to have enough...

Holy shiet....

Wow that looks amazing and time consuming. Of course I didn't ment a custom exchanger everywhere.. I just thought there were exchangers you can use again other then the standard scs ones with the same ease..my bad.. Keep up the great work..looking forward to future updates:)

[Kutchek]

Some exchangers are very close from Scs models. I don't think I must spent time to redone what is already done (Apart the "one way" on exchanger). I haven't count how much I have made exchangers in France, but there are many.

It's sure that the result is better
