Hello folks,
Within XonStat and Xonotic itself we've long used the wonderful Xolonium font by sev. It's a distinctive font that sets the right tone for the game. Besides, it's a fantastic piece of work! Unfortunately for a long time we didn't have support for the glyphs you see on the player page within the font itself, so we couldn't show them on the web.
That all changes with Xolonium versions 2.1 and 2.2. These version changes added glyph support into the font itself. The result is that the in-game smileys and other such runes that we can choose to put in our nicks are readily available directly through the font. Awesome!
Since they are now in the font, XonStat can display them on the web as well through the @font-face CSS declaration. I took the first steps towards doing just that today. You can check out my progress live on the stats page right now! Here's an example:
I tested this out in Firefox and Chrome on Linux. If you see any issues, let me know! Do note that you may have to clear your cache to get the latest resource files.
