We all now the gothic text in the Diablo universe, like a cross in the Os and Ts are crosses. But some games seem to steal this type of text, like Doom 3:
It's a popular font that has been used by many things but it's first big use was Diablo. Since then it has been spread and is barely known as the Diablo text.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

Yeah but Diablo was the first one (or one of the first) to use it , so shouldn't they tell the other companies to change it a little bit?

Federer lost Wimbledon. Why? Becase none of you bastards cheered for him...
We are talking about games specifically that came out after Diablo.
Blizzard doesn't own the rights to that font (Exocet), so they don't have a say in who uses it. It was developed by John Barnbrook at Emigre, Inc. in 1991.
Anyone who purchases a license from Emigre can use the font commercially.

You are basically saying that Diablo INVENTED the font. Otherwise, Blizzard would not be able to license it, and, therefore, affect what other companies can do with it.
I am saying that the font was not made by Blizzard.
Exocet's a really cool font. I would use it on Messenger, but I knew the person I was talking to didn't see the letters the way I did and that was a drag. It should be one of the standard fonts already on computers.
