                       7-Segment Cab Font
                       by Joseph Realmuto

I was getting tired of digital displays that all looked like computer screen numbers, and wanted the digital displays in MSTS cabs to look like real 7-segment displays. After some trial and error, I managed to find out which font MSTS uses for the digital cab numbers(mono10pt0.fnc).  I decided to use one of the larger fonts(mono13pa0.fnc) to get a clearer display, and I modified the numbers in that font to display as 7-segment style numbers.  Since I turned off scaling for this font, it will only display at the correct size in 1024x768 resolution.  If you are using another resolution it will be too large or too small.  Also, all digital cab numbers will now display as 7-segment.  Unfortunately, MSTS only is capable of using one font for this purpose, so this means the digital displays in the Acela and HHP-8 will no longer look like they did before.

2)Copy all of the files from the "Gui" folder to the "Train Simulator\Gui" folder.  Answer yes when prompted if you wish to overwrite.

Uninstallation:

1)Delete the "mono13pa0.ace" file in the Train Simulator\Fonts folder and rename the file "mono13pa0_original.ace" to "mono13pa0.ace"

2)Delete the "gui_fnts.dat" file in the Train Simulator\Gui folder and rename the file "gui_fnts_original.dat" to "gui_fnts.dat"
