C:\Windows\Fonts is a good place to look, I believe.

Probably best you choose a free font instead and include it with the game. I don't know any off-hand though. Perhaps find the ones that are commonly used in Linux distros.

Some free font links:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
http://www.openfontlibrary.org/
http://www.unifont.org/fontguide/
http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/ <-- my favourite
I prefer fonts with old style numerals (lower case). Linux Libertine has those, but not by default, it's an OpenType feature (althought they also offer a Freetype version of their font, but then you'll have to use numerals like other symbols). Is using Opentype so much more work? Perhaps I can make a remix with old-style numerals with FontForge in Linux.

Arathorn:

I'll investigate the Opentype. Linux Libertine is nice indeed - currently using it.

m3henry:

Theming is so far fetced at this moment, that while a nice concept, it is not feasible to think about it now.

Assuming you mean fonts, you may use the one and only font I made ( http://www.purno.thorrune.net/font.html ) as long as either it's for non commercial use or I get moneys from the moneys you make. (Which only sounds fair to me).

It got some special characters, if that's what you mean. Not all of them though.

I hereby necro this thread with an SVG experiment:

50%

100%

200%
Image

400%

not bad for a first try, I think.

I'll post the SVG as soon as I finish the whole thing.

I tried using gradients, but they looked bad.

I'm quite happy with the results

Looks great
How about adding extra small space in front of "Yes/No" buttons so we can but V and X images in front of them, wonder how it will look then

EDIT: or as athanasios mentioned, color lightly the buttons

I'd remove the icons at the buttons, but give all buttons a slightly blueish grey color. And I'd give the buttons 4 rounded corners.

Keep up the good work though! :D

EDIT: Looking back at the blueish windows, I prefer that grey-blue more than 100% grey...
