JOhnnyr -> Change Font used? (10/16/2013 7:02:25 PM)

Hey Guys,

I'm having the same issue as a lot of other people - the fonts are small/blurry/unreadable in some cases.

I know there isn't any way to increase the UI size, but is there a way to change the actual font being used? I think this would help tremendously with some of the problem fonts. Otherwise, love the game.

Thanks,

John



Buio -> RE: Change Font used? (10/16/2013 7:04:42 PM)

No, there isn't. Only way is to play at a lower resolution (lower desktop resolution) and let the GPU scale up the image to fit the monitor. Which of course makes it somewhat blurry but at least everything is bigger.

Darn. Even at lower resolutions the problem still exists, simply because the font itself is the problem.

I see the font .xnb files in the install directory, I tried just renaming NormalFont.xnb for all the fonts (Bold, Title, Tiny, Small, etc) But it didn't seem to have an effect.

A feature we've been requesting forever. I'd really hoped things would be better in the expansion but sadly they weren't. Crusader King 2 did not have a scalable interface forcing many of us to run at blurry, non-native, lower resolutions, yet Paradox actually hired someone to make a modified font and interface (not released yet). So it's possible, it's just up to the developer/publisher to decide we're worth it.

After all, the future is here, and with Steambox + tv's up to 4k in resolution developers need to be aware of how differing resolutions affect the gameplay experience. It's an investment in the future of their franchises to work this in, not to mention one that pays off immediately for those of us using decent monitors running 2560x1600. The easy solution is a 2x scale interface like many games now have if it can't scale.

I actually downgraded from a 27 inch monitor to a 24 inch because of (i) problems reading the screen properly at that resolution; and (ii) computer case getting too hot. I've been back to 24 inch for a few months now, and I no longer have problems reading the screen, nor with a hot computer.

Edit: just to clarify, these problems were not solely caused by DW.
