About this mod

Dudu Calligraphy Font from Life is Strange.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
I've been using this font in Skyrim for awhile now, but it is a little big and ends up clipping in some places and disappearing in others, and I finally got around to fixing it. I started from the original .ttf file available here, resized it to about 80% of its original size, and reimported it into a .swf named dudu.swf. While I was in the flash file, I went ahead and patched in compatibility with Oblivion Interaction Icons (using RbtRvltin's own directions on that page), if you happen to use this font and that mod at the same time.

I use this in my own game with an edited Scribes of Skyrim fontconfig, but I included an archive with the font (dudu.swf) and a basic Vanilla + this fontconfig.txt to make it work in-game without any other mods. Super basic mod, not really lore friendly, but I thought I'd share!

Thanks to DrownedPeasants for the idea to add this font into Skyrim in the first place - I've been using that version for a long time, but finally got tired of the random clipping, which would cause characters to disappear - especially in the Skills menu. I remade this from the original source font files, so it's not technically based on theirs, but credit and kudos for doing it first.

Obviously, the little picture files are from Oblivion Interaction Icons, I just followed that mod author's tutorial for patching any font and patched this one.

HelvetiHand is a hand-drawn version of Helvetica that also shows up in Life is Strange. I use it as my console font, since it still fits, but isn't quite as curvy as Dudu Calligraphy. If you're editing your own fontconfig and like HelvetiHand, the included .swf is also ready for Oblivion Interaction Icons.
