v1.3 upgrade!


Dicier's been updated from v1.2 to v1.3! The theme of this update is DICE—rounding out dice in different sizes (d4, d8, d10, d12, and d20), other dice variants, and a bunch of tweaks for how the font looks (both individual icons and whole swathes). Before installing the new version, uninstall the old fonts—there are instructions at the start of Chapter 2 of the User Guide.

NOTE: This is the first update where certain codes have been removed entirely and replaced by other functions. The affected codes were for very niche icons (diceless pips and the backgammon doubling cube) and have been replaced by OpenType character variants. This helps to reduce the size of the font files and the work involved in translation, though if you were using any of those codes you'll need to redo them the new way—check Chapter 4 of the User Guide for more info.

New icons!

  • d4, d8, d10, d12, and d20 (ss12-16).
  • vertical and horizontal barrel dice (ss17-18).
  • Taoist trigram dice.
  • cv24: dice size indicators.
  • cv25: diceless Taoist trigrams.
  • cv28: 100-on-d100, 1000-on-d1000, etc. on vertical barrel dice.

Major tweaks!

  • 6-sided dice now perfectly square.
  • dreidels now squared at the top (same width as 6-sided dice).
  • European-sized dominoes now square per half.
  • Asian pip patterns 5, 7, 8, and triangular 3 in Block Mode are redesigned.
  • All Arabic numerals on dice slightly reduced in size (approximately 10% smaller).
  • Arabic 1s in Flat and Round Modes are slightly redesigned.
  • Arabic 6 and 9 on dice and dominoes are now dotless by default.
  • cv21 now adds dots to Arabic 6s and 9s on dice and dominoes.
  • Diceless pip codes (e.g. 3_PIPS, 1_POINT, 8_PUNTOS) removed and replaced by cv26: diceless pips.
  • Backgammon doubling cube codes (e.g. BET_2, MISE_16, DOBLE_64) removed and replaced by cv27: backgammon doubling cube.

New translation!

  • Hrvatski / Croatian (standard).

Minor changes!

  • added troubleshooting section to Chapter 0 of the User Guide.
  • other minor changes to the User Guide.
