Thrisk Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Is it possible to change the non chat UI and game text font (like the right clicking information texts) to around 17? If it is please tell me how, I can't read the text currently which is making my getting back into EnB impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp [LDEV] Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 You can increase the size of the font from the in-game menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say "non chat font' I am looking to change the UI font size and the size of the text for item descriptions. I have gone through all in game menus and options and have not found the ability to change these. If you know of a way or maybe there is a command in game to do so please tell me how, or what the command is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp [LDEV] Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Sorry I missed the 'non' as I read that. I don't think there's an easy way of increasing those but would have to look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karu I will give a lower resolution a try, though if you suggest a optimal lower resolution for a 55" monitor, that would be nice. Because of it's size I need to be around 6' back from it to take it all in. Kyp it would be optimal if there were a .pak file or a .ini I could modify to change the font. I had to do that to change Steam's UI font's, that was a convoluted task even with instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Windows is doing some scaling here, means: The font is technically still eg. 14px but the scaling puts it to eg. 22px. EVERY software with layout like dialog boxes, list, db grids etc. will start to look very weird now, cutting letters, moving buttons, cause text on button is suddenly doing line breaks etc - and causing every admin / tech guy headache why the screen of user A looks weird while the screen of user B don't - tho both are using same PC, Monitor, gfx card and OS. The ability to scale the fonts within windows was one of the worser ideas from MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock HGM [HGM] Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I have to agree, I had this issue before thats why i suggested it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zackman [LDEV] Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 The best advise is the one, Karu gave. You can run the settings tool from EnB and put the resolution down WHILE having the client full screen. In this case the monitor is switching to that resolution and the font will appear bigger (due to the lower resolution). Just to remember, that game is 4:3 and you should not chose a 16:9 resolution - o/w you get a sick aspect ratio. I would start fullscreen 1024 X 800 and go from there.

Thrisk Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 It looks like the only resolution where reading text doesn't strain or hurt my eyes is 800x600. Thank you for the help and replies, Hope to see you in game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
