mode7 and anyone else interested -- do you think the Ocarina retexture needs a new font for menu systems? I always thought the sans serif font chosen was a little weak considering the game's adventure feel. There's always limitations in terms of fonts used in low resolution games; it's easiest to choose a white sans serif font and throw a shadow behind it when lo-res graphics and legibility are of concern. Since we are kicking things up a notch, it seems like a nice font ought to be used that compliments the games look and feel. Here's a screenshot example I threw together. This font is StoneCross and is something, IMHO, that is closer to what the game needs for the menu system.

If y'all just want the same font with higher resolution, I will do that too. I'm open.
