The HF viewer isn't a distinct viewscreen - it merely uses the generic "text viewer" screen which is also used for item/creature descriptions, diplomat meetings, and Help screens. This viewscreen is also one of the ones which hasn't yet been modified to use TrueType, most likely because the incoming text is preformatted for tileset display (the lines are separated and spaces are inserted to fit it to the width of the screen); using TrueType would either add large amounts of blank space to the right margin (and look rather ugly) or require dynamically reformatting the text when in TrueType mode (and maintaining a separate scroll position, since it would take up a different number of lines). |
