Font size
« on: January 21, 2011, 10:09:03 am »

Is there a way to increase the newer font size so it's easier to read?  I play on a 1920x1200 monitor and run it in windowed mode with increased tiles displayed to fill up most of the monitor, but the new default text is awfully small and hard to read.  Currently running DFG 31.18, and changed it to use the original font style just because it's much bigger and easier to read.

You can scroll with your mouseweel and zoom it in, maybe that will help?

Hmm, won't that zoom everything though, including the tiles?

Yes it will. Not sure if it works on the font though. Try it anyway.

AFAIK, there's no way to change the font size independently of the tile size. There might be if you're using the ttf option though...

Isn't the TT font the default font on a new install?  That's what appears very small to me.

I'm pretty sure the default font is the tile-based font DF had before the TT thing.
