There is no typical recommended font size since fonts are different and they have different sizes. But I will tell you how I do numbers.ShadOhhh wrote:
I am not sure if someone has asked but I have a question about default numbers and score numbers. Is there a simple way to create them? Is there a recommended font size maybe or typical creation for these? I seem to always make the numbers too small and they are unevenly spaced due to the different width of the shapes of the numbers.
First most important is height of numbers for score try not do go over 45px (90px for HD), for default number try to keep them around 45-55px (90px-110px for HD) size but that's up to you.
Width doesn't really matters here since you can manipulate distance between numbers with skin.ini.
You need a good font that doesn't have numbers with different size, it will make your work much harder. I would like to recommend making your numbers large on new workspace and later, resize and copy them into selected numbers.
When you have your numbers ready, resize them to proper size (just do few tries to see with one will fit your desired height) and save them as correct numbers.
Now you would need some corrections.
First of we need to check if height is proper. Just open one of the numbers (0 for example) and put other numbers onto it, compare and see with one need corrections.
For width, reduce any empty space of canvas you have on them and lave 1-2 px of free space on both sides. As below :
Rest of width problems you can correct via skin.ini
