That's all you needed to say. Now give me a moment to express my rage in the other room...
*walks away*
*curses loudly and violently*
*comes back*
And IMO, I think we should have some sort of consensus over what the font should look like.

Yeah, that's because it only has uppercase. Not lowercase at all.
But, I fixed that:

Now it has lowercase too. Well, they're the same letter images, but smaller.

Cool. But Egoboo doesn't seem to like your font anymore. It crashes while trying to draw smaller fonts in the sub-menus.

Hmm... :?
Try this:

I guess mediafire messed it up or something, as it can't be previewed either. And it also has the _, which wasn't in the 2nd one...

Could use a little more work (numbers and :/.! at least)

Have you tried the sub-menus? Like the module selection menu?

Rufscript works fine in Egoboo. It has a bit height offset though, making all text appear a few inches higher than normal.

I give it 3.5/5, because:

PRO:
1. It looks Egobooish.
2. It's creativeish.

CON:
1. It looks like a little kid scrawled it out (but I guess that's why it's called rufscript).
2. It seems a little raised, as Zefz said.

Anyone seen the font currently in the SVN? It's GPL and I like it a lot myself.
