Would it make sense to add a glyph for the initiative token?

I suggest adding topic labels for ease of finding other related projects.
Ex.: xwing-data
Also, adding github page as a repository website will be helpful.

Hi!

I've just noticed that the font is using "xwing-miniatures-ship-tieadvancedprototype" and "xwing-miniatures-ship-yt2400freighter"

Will/should these be changed to the standard canonical/xws names?

Cheers!

Dennis

It would be nice to have the ship silhouette icons.

Missing silhouettes for the following ships :

• Resistance Bomber
• TIE Silencer

Potentially additional icons if any is introduced in the wave (don't have it yet)

Do you plan an update with Wave 8 ships and other symbols (if any)?

Hi guys

The Star Wing has a new action: reload.

Is anyone working on this?

I'd like to get the scum falcon and escape craft glyphs made but I need a high res scan off either a pilot card or ship base.

Might as well start on this:

• Should it be a whole separate project or build on this one?
• What icons need to be added?

Are there plans to add the various token symbols as individual glyphs (rather than only as part of a token image)? By my count, the missing symbols are: Ion, Stress, Tractor Beam, and Reinforce Rear...

Looks like the icons don't always correctly show up in Microsoft Edge. These screenshots are from the list of icons page:

I've received a bug report about this: https://github.com/haslo/lists_juggle_browser/issues/54 - but haven't dug into what's causing the issue.

Hi guys,

I've been working on a soundboard for X-wing and I've been trying to add the Auzituck gunship. I see that it is included in the icon list, however adding the class icon brings the character space up blank. Trying to add it myself as a :before element in the X-wing font family also doesn't seem to work.
And finally (probably most obviously); when checking out the font I don't see the icon listed in the font repertoire. Is it possible some are missing?

See that little missile icon next to the range limitations of the attack? That represents an "Ordnance" type of secondary weapon, which ignores range combat bonuses (as opposed to Cannons and Turrets, which now are affected by range).

Just another icon to consider in the grand scheme of things...

Can we get modification and title icons added?

If you want you can just update dist/xwing-miniatures.ttf and I'll update the CSS (just let me know the codepoints for the new icons).

Could we add obstacle icons? Both outlined and filled. Would be useful for displaying/selecting obstacles in builders.

I have a PNG of the outines; I can then map them to the XWS names in CSS.

Can we get a trace of the new SLAM action icon added to the font?

Here are Scans of the ship shapes/icons for the Upsilon, Quadjumper and Captured TIE

Just noting two symbols I couldn't do in #35

• Jam token
• Jam token inverted

I see v1.0.15 hasn't been tagged yet. Could you create a tag?

Also, the gh-pages branch still seems to be at v1.0.14.

Wave XI is announced; we'll need ship icons for

• Auzituck Gunship
• TIE Aggressor
• Scurrg H-6 Bomber

Please add a JSON file that contains a mapping of ship name to icon. It should look something like this:

{
	"aggressor": "i",
	"alphaclassstarwing": "&",
	"arc170": "c",
	"attackshuttle": "g",
        ...
        "ywing": "y",
	"z95headhunter": "z"
}

I maintain the iOS app DialVision which displays a list of ships and their icons. The app dynamically loads xwing-miniatures-ships.ttf from GitHub to ensure that it will display icons for the latest ships without having to redistribute the app every time the font updates but it needs a JSON file that maps the ship name to each character so it knows what character icon to display for each ship. Currently, I have a fork of this repo and have been manually maintaining a JSON file but it would be great if I didn't have to maintain a fork and manually generate the JSON every time there's an update.

Here's a screenshot from my app of the view I'm talking about:

I'd love to help in any way I can, but I'm not sure what the best approach would be. I'm not totally familiar with your build process, but I'm guessing the solution could involve using JSON as the source and generating the *-map.scss files as part of the Grunt task.

I posted images under the 'Wave XI' thread a week ago. Did they go unnoticed? Or is the person who updates the fonts busy?

Just checking...

And thanks for the work you do on this font! :)

This may be exceeding the scope of this project, so feel free to shoot it down it you don't want to go in this direction.

In addition to these fonts that provide the symbols and icons, the X-Wing Miniatures game uses 2 additional commercial fonts: Bank Gothic Medium BT and Kimberley Bl.

(note: i am no lawyer and font licensing is complex, so what follows is my understanding of how this works)

Bank Gothic has an alternative called Squarish Sans regular (http://christtrekker.users.sourceforge.net/fnt/squarishsans.shtml) that is released under the SIL Open Font License, which I think means you could add it to this collection.

Kimberley Bl is free for desktop use (https://www.fontspring.com/fonts/typodermic/kimberley) but the application license (which allows you to distribute it embedded in your program but not with your source code) is $57. Since we only need this one for the numbers (this is what the stat values on the cards use), would it be difficult to create an open source font that only implements the digits 0-9 in a 'similar' manner?

Heck, depending on the terms of the OFL, perhaps one could fork Squarish, replace the digits with ones similar to Kimberley, and rerelease it as an X-Wing font (properly crediting the original creator, of course).

Thoughts?

Icons that will be needed for Wave XII (known as of Aug 26):

Ships:

• Alpha-class Attack Wing
• Sheathipede-class Shuttle (Phantom II)
• M12-L Kimogila Fighter

Icons:

• Reload Action
• Bullseye Arc
• Bullseye Arc separated
• Jam Token
• Jam Token inverted

and if possible add in the 3 icons and 1 change from #31

Lost in the last update and issue closings was the newest game token:

• Illicit Token
• INVERTED Illicit Token

The new FFG Rules Reference PDF has the full set of maneuver arrows, and they have more consistent stroke weight/proportions than what's currently in this font. They're also shown all in context on a common baseline/x-height on page 6, so I was able to scale them as shown above.

I can edit the font to include these.

Any idea when these will be added?

Some of the taller maneuver symbols have a little of their tops cut off

I think I have all the new elements here.

Thanks!

I know everyone's all giddy over the 2.0 icons but I think we're still missing the TIE Reaper silhouette.

Need icons for:

Ships:

• ARC-170
• TIE/sf
• Protectorate Starfighter
• Lancer-class Pursuit Craft

Actions:

• Rotate Arc

The glyph for the Auzituck Gunship looks to be raised a bit high compared to the rest of the ships.

There are new icons in the new core set:

• Tallon Roll left
• Tallon Roll right
• Tech upgrade icon

• targetlock should be lock
• It seems weird that the icons map is \u#### codes but the ships map is "#" characters. Going to all \u codes would be more consistent
• Obstacle glyphs are probably obsolete unless 2nd edition is reusing the same shapes.
• Why are the token-cloak and token-evade glyphs gone?

I'm making some reference cards and outlined ships vs solid ships would make them visible but less distracting. It's a lot of additional glyphs, but FontForge makes it very simple to do. I can provide a few options of width you can select which you like and we can document the outline width to keep them consistent. Thoughts?

Looks like some fonts have some issues and cleanup might be needed.. but that should probably be done anyway.

I'd like to make a request for some additional symbols: the additional tokens in the game. In this case it would be the Stress, Ion, Tractor Beam, Weapons Disabled (from SLAM), and Extra Munition tokens. Obviously Focus, Evade, Shield, Crit, Target Lock, and Cloak are already taken care of since they have matching symbols on cards.

Not sure if this is in scope or even possible ( I don't actually know how you get the high-quality glyphs :) ), but it would probably be a good addition.

Thanks!

I noticed there's only the standard reinforce token, but the directional reinforce token from the Auzituk expansion isn't listed. I'm wondering if there are plans to add it?

Is there a reason for this ship having 2 names?

Hi Guys

I'm thinking of using this repo for the icons in my app but it seems to be written to only support declarative usage. I'd prefer to use the icons directly in my own SASS files.

Would you be open to me refactoring the SASS file to use mixins so you can call them directly in another SASS file, or output a CSS file exactly the same as the current one.

It'd be based roughly on (a simpler version of) this: http://jaydenseric.com/blog/fun-with-sass-and-font-icons

Alternatively, if you have a better idea for how to do this, I'd be glad to hear it.

According to the official rules reference document, the "system" upgrade is renamed to "sensor".

The Auzituck glyph is pretty low quality. Can anyone make a sharper vector or PNG trace (black on white) of the glyph and I can add it to the font file?

We are missing the special attack icons for Firespray and YV-666.

@armoredgear7 @Hinny

I know, I'm never satisfied~

Here are high resolution scans of the reverse left, reverse straight and reverse right maneuvers from a quadjumper dial. I hope you can use them.

Feel free to contact me at [email protected] if there is a better way to submit these to you.

A recent X-Wing article talking about the 2nd Edition Release Party seems to have revealed the icons for the Republic and Separatist factions. More information here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/op/x-wing/second-edition-launch-party/

The current download has the CROC at my original "C" instead of the updated "5" I was thinking that having all huge ships as numbers would be convenient.. even if you don't know which is which, you know you only need to type numbers.

Let's follow this guide and publish this excellent font package:

https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/publishing-npm-packages

I'll help if I can.

So one of the new pilots for the StarVipers, Dalan Oberos, allows for Tallon Rolls using either the turn template (normal) or the bank template. So I think we should have a custom maneuver for it like what was added for IG-88D's ability.

This one should probably be the Signor's Loop but with the arrow mirrored (facing out instead of in).

I'm trying to set up Font Forge to help out with this but, alas, it doesn't appear to want to open on my machine

:(
