Title: Glyphs???
Post by: BlackViperOMEGA on September 25, 2009, 01:13:25 AM

Sorry if someone has answered this before, but what are glyphs used for... I've looked for them and can't see them anywhere

I can't recall anything called glyphs in RPGM2k3.

Glyphs?  Only thing I can think of is a symbol alphabet.  Like hieroglyphics or cuneiform. 

Which would be pretty cool in an RM2k3 game.  You would have to make that font first, though.

I think I heard something about this a while back...
Something about using a specific code thing to make a symbol pop up in the text.
I have no idea if that's the correct usage however.
