edit: i just realized i was the first one to write a comment after 7 years of someone else posting lol
Great job. Terminus is one of my favorite monospace fonts (I use it for the Linux console, Gvim, and URxvt).
If you don't mind my asking, would you consider adding some additional popular monospace fonts to this mod (like DejaVu Sans Mono), or possibly post a brief tutorial on how you did it?
So, I have to install the font first, because I got squares. I also installed Skyrim on my external hard drive, is it also the reason why the downloaded font won't show?
If you don't have that file, you'll have to use the one I supplied. Just rename it. The reason why it's named "incorrectly" is because I think it's bad policy to over-write configuration files.
Great font. I've manage to install it including for the skyui but apparentlly the console font didn't change. I followed the procedure to change a couple of lines in the text. Am I doing something wrong?
@roxahris To be honest, I have no clue what you are talking about. It looks clear enough to me. Although I never intended to use this font for anything other than the console, after reading your first comment I thought I'd try it with the inventory and spell lists. After making some minor tweaks to the SkyUI config, I find that this font works great there too, just as I suspected. Thanks for mentioning profont, I'll have to check it out in my editor some time.
Very funny, thinking someone could miss such obvious clues as "console font" weaved into the text. No, what I'm saying is that you're best off finding a font like this that doesn't look so horribly blurry when rendered with Skyrim's UI engine. Size has nothing to do with it. And you probably should take a look at ProFont.
@roxahris I use the Oblivion font as the everywhere font. This is not meant for the UI, it's for the console. I prefer to see at least 15 lines of output when tell the computer to print something for me, dunno about you. Dejavu mono is not compact enough, but thanks for the tip.
Don't simply copy paste or none of your fonts will work unless you have fontlib files installed and named like mine.

I doubt it. I had problems using the console with 600x800 so if u have 450 vertically you're not going to get even a single line (I think). I "tried" to resize the console UI and to make it higher, but I have no experience with flash. You could make a mod request and ask ppl with flash-skills to make the console UI higher. Ill "try" doing that myself, but it wont happen anytime soon.

Do you mean I have to cut the tox.2ik.txt off?
