Re: Free Font Starsheet1

Very fine!
I prefer that than simple writings. And it easier to indicate they are used/eliminated.

Is it possible though, to add them automatically via an excel sheet?
I've never heard excel was able to add icons, but I don't know what it could do.

Thank you.
I like check boxes and was getting a bit fed up with the usual blank squares.
It is possible since it is seen by excel as just another font, the example is from the Shipyard/SFO conversion. Just to show how using Icons looks I substituted the systems line for ="Y?/RRMM~~~~~~".
Wherever I have included check boxes already on the Starmada sheet change the repeated letter for the Starsheet1 letter and apply the font to the cell.

Re: Free Font Starsheet1

I have made a slight revision, just install over the first one.
Was printing a data card and did not quite like two of the icons which needed a little tweak.

THere will be a new version with a new name soon.
Has anyone used it yet?
Any fancy data cards?
This has Launch tubes and Fire control.

This looks great!  I used to play Full Thrust b4 discovering Starmada.  The SSDs for the ships in that game used all sumbols.  It was easy to just mark the systems off when they were wrecked... 8-)

Thanks.
I liked the Full Thrust ship data cards too.
I have found that this layout really needs to be up to hull 24 to be printed across an A$ sheet, any larger has to be lengthways to get a decent size print.
This was a trial run to see how my icon font might look for AE ship cards, that is one handy thing about spreadsheets, being able to copy and paste the "parts" about until you get a layout that you like.

How would the "Traditional" style layout look?
See below.
