I installed this mod
https://thetoawbeachhead.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/classic-redux-ii/

Here is what it looks like on the screenshots

Here is what it looks like after I've installed it

The text is small and barely readable. I try enlarging it in the OpartFont.ini file but that just makes it overlap eachother. I need a way to make it bold just like in the screenshot. How do I do that?

I have the same issue that you do and I don't think there is any solution for it.
To get an easily readable font size I use 1366x768 resolution when I play this game.

Maybe you could copy font file from some other GUI, my favorite one is in Kiddytoto's black steel GUI in that sticky graphic mod thread post 252. Font is similar with that bold one with bigger and nicer VP on map, that should fix problem

I know what the problem is - it's my fault. I assume you both copied the opart3 fonts.ini that is in the download to the game folder. And here is the problem and the solution (i hope):

In the ini you see this under Medium Font (emphasized in red by me):

[MediumFont]
BackColor=0x7F7F7F
windowsFont=Y
Outline=N
Background=N
Spacing=1
Weight=500
Size=7
Font=arial fett

This is German and works on a German Windows PC.. Replace this with bold. However there are more instances of "fett" in the ini. I'll attach a revised opart3 fonts.ini in the next post.

I downloaded this as well. What folder should this be placed in?
