[Feature request] Set default config values of gui_mediumFontLimit and gui_smallFontLimit to "0"

[AtifArshad1995]

This is a simple request to changes the default config settings. The settings relate to resolution of all the fonts used in the menu and in-game panels. By default, even at Ultra settings, the fonts look low resolution. Setting them to "0" makes them much higher res compared to what Ultra allows with no/negligible performance impact.

Although they are easy to set up in either Dhewm.cfg or autoexec.cfg, not all people know about this, even if they have good enough rigs to comfortably handle Doom 3 at maxed every setting.

This sounds excellent.

This is an excellent tip. I've just been playing through with this source port for the first time, and I was wondering why the fonts don't scale well up to modern resolutions.

It does however cause a small bug with the UI on the Load Game menu:

Both set to 0:

I would say no, don't make 0 the default. As seen in screenshots and as I tried myself, there are two problems. One is quite obvious - if set to 0, fonts are misaligned. They are placed just where they need to be with current defaults.

And the second problem is that with 0 they are just too sharp and thus rather annoying and too much in the face.
