I actually have 2 issues, the first one being that the font is too large in the game.

It's noticable in the menu, the "play development" text doesn't fit in the box.:

And the problem, in the game the text at the top is all crammed together:

I've tried using different resolutions in game, and in windows, but it still always looks the same:

This is also the only App/Game I have this problem with.

The second problem I have is with the depth chart. It says in the manual you have to press the "+/-" button, and since I don't see one on the screen, I take it to mean that it's the +/- keyboard keys. However, when I select a player either already in the list or in the available player list, I can't add or remove players from the depth chart. I tried changing my keyboard settings from German/swiss to US, but that didn't help (and yes, I pressed where the + key would have been on a US keyboard).

Hallo Hampe,

Maximum Football erfordert als lokale Spracheinstellung "Englisch". Das ist nicht zu verwechseln mit der Tastaturbelegung. Das Problem ist, dass die Konventionen in Amerika und im englischsprachigen Raum zum Teil v�llig entgegengesetzt sind. So wird im deutschen Raum die Tausend wie folgt geschrieben: 1.000,00; in den USA 1,000.00 . Das Programm liest dann die Zahlen in den USA als 1 oder 1000 und das bringt die ganze Logik durcheinander. Ich vermute daher, dass die Probleme mit dem Font auf die lokalen Spracheinstellungen zur�ckzuf�hren sind.

Yea thanks....I'm an American so you can speak English ;) (I only live in Switzerland).

My Regional Settings are all set to english already. I saw that that can cause problems, and I haven't had any problems with the gameplay itself. Just the text size.

Then it should be a font problem. But i have seen you are using an older version of the game. The actual version is 2.2.90 .

Ok....I'll upgrade and let you know if that helped.

Where does the game get its font settings from? Like I said above, this is the only application/game I have this problem with.

Also...thanks for the help!

Here some old from the developer:

(when there still is a problem)

quote:

2. Oversized text. Because the game makes use of system fonts with the default setting of 96 DPI you will get strange text effects if you make the DPI larger or smaller. ... Set your desktop font size to 96 DPI

The +/- buttons should be here
