=== Anikki ===

|image=[[Image:Anikki_square_8x8.png]]

|author=[[User:Anikki|Anikki]]

|dated=[[2008-7-27]]

|size=8×8

|resolution=640×200 native.

|comments=Based on the original IBM CGA Character set with a lot of tweaks. The characters remain as descriptive yet universal as possible. I chose the CGA set because it is in my opinion the square set with the best readability. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings).

There is also an upscaled [[#Anikki_2|16x16 version]] of this set available for fullscreen use below.

|size=10×10

|resolution=800×250 native.

|comments=Based primarily on Tocky and Plac1d's sets (which are brilliant). The characters remain as descriptive as possible with some tweaks to the font for better readability and some changes to symbols for more consistency. This set is for those who like the basic ASCII look where every pixel has meaning or (multiple meanings). [http://www.anikki.com/share/df/Anikki_square_10x10.bmp Download the BMP]

|comments=This is basically the curses_800x600.bmp file converted to 12x12. It may be slightly different but it is close enough for me. [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=318 Get the .BMP here.]

|comments=Another square tileset that's usable on low resolutions, modeled after a common font used on the Nintendo Entertainment System. An 18x18 version for 1440x450 resolution is also [[:Image:Nostalgia_1440x450_3e4a08.png|available here]], and is really nice on a widescreen monitor. An NES palette is [[User:Maus|available here]].

|size=9&times;9

|resolution=720&times;225

|comments=There is no doubt that this tileset is old. This must be distinctly understood if anything wonderful is to come of your use of it. You may like [[List_of_user_character_sets#Dorten|Dorten's revision]] more. The following is the original description:<br>I dislike curses_640x300.bmp due to its lack of any kind of graphics for things like a bed or a barrel and the fact that it distorts my beautiful circles, so I made a similarish tileset to fix those.

|author=[[User:Teeto_K|Teeto_K]]

|dated=[[2008-10-24]]

|size=18&times;18

|resolution=1440&times;450

|comments=A tileset based on [[:Image:Nostalgia_1440x450_3e4a08.png|Maus's 18x18 version of his "Nostalgia" tileset]], however, it has been heavily revised. The entire font has been "smoothed over", and many of the symbols changed to more "graphical" representations of the items they represent. An attempt to fill the void of "graphic heavy" tilesets in the 18x18 tile-size. A special emphasis is placed on maximizing the text's readability, while still providing a "graphics enhanced" play area. Special thanks to Maus for the font, and Guybrush for the inspiration.

|comments=I tried to make all the pictographic symbols as descriptive as possible: the only ones I've spotted that show up in odd places are the staircase symbols, '<' and '>', which are used as tags on barrel descriptions, and don't match -- but I'm willing to live with that in order to be able to tell up-stairs from down- ones. With everything else, I just tried to maximize clarity and readability and to keep them consistent. I'm really very pleased with how this set turned out.

|comments=This is the tileset used by Acorn computers, starting with the BBC Micro.  This version is as it would have appeared in 40-column modes (and shuffled a little to adapt it to CP437).  It also looks nice at double resolution. [http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=407 Download the BMP.]

|comments=Name: Yayo's C64; Based on the charset of the commodore 64. It's a flat style, but it's clean and also highly readable. I recreated all the missing chars like letters with accents and symbols, trying to get a c64 style as much as possible. If it's too small, use the 16&times;16 version [[#Yayo_2|below]]. :)

|comments= The MSX and MSX2 font, shuffled around to fit the char set. Double lines were added.

== 16&times;16 tilesets ==

The 16&times;16 tilesets are a subset of square character sets. 16&times;16 is a frequently used size, as shown by the number of tilesets in this section. This is probably because all of the best creature graphics sets use 16&times;16 tiles. Those alternate sets for creatures can be found at [[graphics sets]]. '''If your screen is too small for these, turn on BLACK_SPACE!'''

|comments=v1.1 - 3px wide walls and some other tweaks. Based on Klokjammer and Marble Dice tilesets. Some tiles were taken from other sets, some were made from scratch. The aim was to keep feel of default curses font in 16&times;16 tileset. There's also [http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Image:Cooz_curses_square_flat_16x16.png version without shading].

I did some changes because I like some things in different ways, but the base for tileset was made by another users and for this I thankful. List of major and minor changes you can see below.

|dated=[[2007-11-15]]

|comments=A 16&times;16 tileset based on the very nice Herrbdog's one, and for use with the superb [[Graphics_sets#Dystopian_Rhetoric|Dystopian Rhetoric objects]]. A slightly modified version of Herrbdog's tileset is available below if you want to keep the original ASCII symbols for some objects (just do some cut & paste). It's just a little brighter and with some very slight changes. The tileset shown is a tileset with graphic objects added, for use with Fortress Mode.

I recommend to have a look at the [[color schemes|color schemes page]] to find your favorite color settings. The color scheme I used for the screenshots is [[Color_Schemes#.28Yet.29_Another_scheme|this one]].}}

|dated=[[2008-7-14]]

|comments=Impressed with the genius of using sprites as tiles, I cobbled together this tileset of my own. It uses Super Foul Egg's superb font as a base, with several sprites also found in other users' sets. Because a lot of letters are used for graphics, I suggest that you [[User:Jackard|remove accented letters from names]] with this set. I also suggest you shift some items to other icons, such as the coniferous trees (change Pine, Cedar, Larch from 024 to 147), the turtle (change 15 to 151), and Quarry Bush leaves (change from 006 to 003).

V2 now with new graphics for walls and liquids, as well as some other tweaks here and there and a first attempt at using dual-color sprites using a cyan base instead of simple greyscale. (Right now implemented for beds, wood and statues.)

V1 can still be found [[:Image:16x16_isenhertz_v1.png|here]].

|comments=A square 1280&times;400 font. Simple and legible. Converted from roarl's 16&times;16 nethack font, on top of super foul egg's template, extended manually and with ideas from lucida console. This is version 1, created in one morning. Screenshots available [http://kaishaku.org/dwarfort here].

|image=[[Image:Kelora_16x16_diagonal.png]]

I did not use much of the pretty but confusing art I see in many of the other sets. I tried for a while to incorporate many of these but found that with the multiple uses for most characters they were just wrong far too often to be useful. The only ones that seem to work are the dwarves which I took from Flying Mage / Guybrush. The pretty 3Dish fonts as well just seem to look muddier and be less legible. I love it and my husband has been happily playing it for months.

|dated=[[2009-8-8]]

|resolution=1280&times;400

|comments=This is a 16x16 tileset based on Redjack and Flying Mage sets (and possible tiles taken from others that I've since lost track of - apologies). Some tiles are original or have been tweaked, mainly to provide a much more subtle background than most. A completely new character set is used to improve legibility, tweaked and anti-aliased for dark backgrounds.
