1955 Topps Baseball Cards

fhomess · 05-30-2014, 02:35 PM

Here's another classic from the 50's, 1955 Topps. There isn't a way to get the action photo and we no longer have a cursive font for signatures, but the rest is there. There are 4 different colored backgrounds, all with a black bar for the text at the bottom. There are also 10 different comics that show up on the back.

Haven't bought 15 yet so I can't make cards in the current version to try this out yet but I did install it and it looks like they changed some of the font names again and have added some new ones. I see the cursive "ball" is now "l_ball" and "college" is now "l_college". There is also "l_averia", "l_black", "l_college2", "l_emilio", "l_font", "l_staubach" and "light".

Fhomess/any other card makers: Any examples for what the new ones look like on cards? Could open up a few possiblilites that weren't there before.

Here's a font test I ran for a player named Hildo Somers:

The baseball card engine isn't able to render several of the more interesting fonts' lowercase letters despite the fact that they're defined in the font file. That's a real shame. I also put the old amaze.ttf font file into the OOTP15 fonts folder and restarted the game to see if that font would then be used, but it clearly is reverting to the default Vera font.

FWIW, the right side column has the following fonts:
College - which looks like the old Commando font
Ball
Averia
Black
College2
Emilio - Works, but probably isn't useful at small font sizes
Font (l_font)
Staubach
