[MudWalker] Medievia.com Fonts and Sounds

[Trey Holliday]

I've been working on getting things such as the Medievia fonts to work 
on any Mac-compatible mud client.  The problem is that the font used for 
the "mud font 5" setting is a Windows-proprietary type file.  Even when 
I tried to convert it to a universal fixed-width file, the output 
doesn't parse correctly.  I've spoken with Vryce and he assures me that 
if we can get somebody with some knowledge of dealing with fonts, that 
it can be done, but the Medievia specific font was developed on the 
Windows platform with zMud, without giving any other platforms a second 
thought.  The "mud font 3" true type font works decently, but using it 
adds a bit of client-side lag unless you almost completely kill your 
scrollback.

On the sound set that Medievia created for itself, trust me, it's 
actually not that great.  I had way back in the early days of Medievia 
when I was using a PC and I turned it back off about a week later.  I'm 
no Lua expert, but I'm sure there's a way that Lua can call a .wav file 
from the system through a sequence of triggers in a similar way that 
Medievia calls the sound files to begin with.
