#12062: PETKA: Wrong fonts in subtitles/inventory
--------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  Tkachov  |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
Priority:  low      |  Component:  Engine: Petka
 Version:           |   Keywords:  fonts
    Game:  Petka 1  |
--------------------+---------------------------
 The original game has texts in two places: in dialogue and in inventory
 descrpitions. It uses different fonts in those. ScummVM version uses the
 same font for both, and that font is not what was used in the original
 game.

 It seems ScummVM uses Free Sans:

 In WME fan project we used Arial Bold, with `SIZE=13` for subtitles and
 `SIZE=10` for inventory descriptions. However, when I tried to overlay the
 text in image editor, it was more like 17 for subtitles and 13 for
 inventory (probably units used in the editor are pt).

 In the attachments:
 - **01_*** shows that the font differs when you hover an interactable
 object;
 - **02_*** shows that this font is also used in dialogue options
 selection;
 - **03_*** shows that another font is used for inventory descriptions in
 the original game;
 - **04_*** and **05_*** are screenshots from the original game with
 correct aspect ratio (might be useful when trying to find the correct font
 using image editor);
 - **petka1-ru.s17** is ScummVM save game before the dialogue takes place;
 - **save2.dat** is original game's save in the same spot.
