The font is whatever you want it to be, and the size limitations are clearing posted in the "How to make a map Handbook".

Doesn't matter.
Its whatever you want.
well, its whatever size works with the map, but there aren't any set rules for it. Some maps have Tiny text and others have HUGE text. it really just depends on how much free space there is on the map and how much information you have to add into it.

I thought Bryguy was asking which font was used for army numbers... can I ask that question?

That leads me on to something I've been thinking about for a little while; whether we could specify a different font for army numbers in the XML (which could either be one of a few 'authorised' fonts, or one that is uploaded with the map in FF)...

Ariel, 14pt, no text style.

Then use the layer style stroke at 1px black.

Thats the closes ive been able to get. The "8" is perfect its the other numbers that are a little off.
What do you know about map making, bitch?
