This font unfits it

When loading the font provided in the attachment, some characters have odd behavior, for example:
- pick up a clip or medikit or whatever, it starts way too left so you only see half of the first letter
- in the menus, there is a lot of spacing
- when "idmypos" is true (CVAR) spacing again
Does the font need to have a specific size?

Font characters are supposed to have their origins at the upper-left corner of the glyph, unless you want special effects. You have them at the bottom middle, and that's why the spacing is all wrong.

And I think this belongs in editing, not bugs...

So, the x/y positions I have to enter in XWE/Wintex whatever need to be 0,0 ?
Edit: apparently yes

However, as it has been before, the capital Y is always chosen (when a 'y' is encountered), as can i.e. be seen in the Options menu. PlaYer options.

The Y versus y thing is probably intentional. For some reason, Doom has a graphic that is the correct name for a lower case y, but actually looks like an i (IIRC) so you can end up with things like Plaier options, press i to quit and so on.

I do not think so. doom2.wad only provides STCFN065 to STCFN095 or so, so no lowercase characters at all, so one would not see it anyway. However, in my case I have lowercase chars (097-123) ... and eh well.

Look again. Both doom.wad and doom2.wad have STCFN121, which looks just like a capital I but should be a lower-case y. However, STCFN121 should only be ignored if it's part of the IWAD. I'm not sure why I commented that out.

STCFN121 is not a capital 'I' but a '|' (the pipe symbol). It probably should have been STCFN124 but apparently someone messed this up.

I'm sure it was father. Father forbids us children to use his pipe!
