Is there any way to increase font size?

Open krab opened this issue 8 years ago • 10 comments

I mean fonts in all application, everything so small, and current font with white color looks ugly on typical 96dpi displays.

Not easily. The entire UI would need tweaking to accommodate a larger text size.

This is first complaint I've had regarding the text size. What's your resolution and screen size? The text looks fine to me at 1920x1080 on a 27" monitor.

Regardless, one factor that's probably contributing is that the current text renderer used by the program doesn't support ClearType (or unicode, for that matter). Some day I hope to switch it out for a FreeType-based renderer, which should look much better, even at the same text size. That'll be quite an undertaking though.

Clear enough. ClearType should fix all font rendering problems on lcd display.

Not easily. The entire UI would need tweaking to accommodate a larger text size.

This probably means program don't support HiDPI either?

Correct. The program isn't really designed in a way that allows me to support something like that.

Since you're having this issue, I'll try to find the time to look more closely at FreeType. I need to switch to that at some point anyway since I want to add unicode support.

I want to join in and say the font size is a bit too small for me. I just found PoB over the weekend

Add my vote too please. Using a 2560 x 1440 display.

Add my vote as well. It's super tiny on 2560x1440p, it's a pain for newbie players like me :)

+1 on a 4k (somewhat small) secondary display it is too small to read. To be sure, this is a 'first world problem" but it would be great to be able to tweak the UI text sizes
