Description

FS2's HUD has been made with a sᴍᴀʟʟ ᴄᴀᴘɪᴛᴀʟ font in mind, but this can cause some issues (as well as styling difficulties) when switching to a font that isn't small capital - especialy since as far as I've seen, FSO doesn't support said lettertype.

One can circumvent this slightly by going into strings.tbl and capitalizing a lot of the words the HUD uses, but some things are set in stone:

Wingmen will always be either lowercase or have their full names. IE
ᴀʟᴘ ʙᴇᴛ ɢᴀᴍ
becomes
alp bet gam
or
Alpha Beta Gamma
but
ALP BET GAM
is desired, but no such setting exist.

Similarily, an option to render the ᴅɪʀᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇs, ᴡᴇᴀᴘᴏɴs and ᴛᴀʀɢᴇᴛɪɴɢ ʜᴜᴅ in either full lowercase or full uppercase would be massively appreciated.
