Dice in Star Wars EoE/AoR/F&D in Realm Works

[Pollution]

So, how do you deal with dice in the new Star Wars RPGs? The symbols on the custom dice completely throw me when it comes to putting in text.

For example: "A (symbol) means that they recognize the faint outlines of a matte-black Nebulon-B frigate running dark. "

I'm assuming that you just put in the name of the symbol (Triumph, or Success, or Advantage, etc...), doesn't that get old when copying from a PDF?

Anyone have another idea? Or is it just that rough to work with?

Pollution,

If you have installed any of the Edge of the Empire fonts into your word processor they are available in realm works as well. It has worked for me the last few years.

Make sure you get a TrueType version of the font (or an OpenType with TrueType outlines).

More info here: System Fonts (EotE Font Question).

Okay, So font installed, and the symbols are now available.

Unfortunately, Copying from PDF to RW doesn't carry over the symbol, so I'll have to go back and swap fonts every time.

Not a perfect solution, but it's WAY better now.

Thanks!

What gets copied over in place of the symbol? Can you do a find an replace at least?

No, it copies Stops or "random" characters instead.

Nothing that would be accurate.

And it's different every time.

I think it might be the PDF's fault. bad copy or something. I'll try to redownload it.

I would expect that if you are using these special fonts, then you won't see those symbols on the web version (just a warning).
