Changing font size in dromed ? Any way to do it ?

My eyes are really getting bad now a days, and I was wondering, does anyone know how to make the fonts in dromed one size larger ? :tsktsk::tsktsk:

In dromed.cfg there is this parm: gui_font intrface/textfont. I suppose you could create a newtext.fon file which is larger, place it in the intrface sub-directory and reference it instead: gui_font intrface/newtext. Maybe.

That would just cause text to overflow their fields and each other and generally create a horrible sloppy illegible mess.

The only way to make fonts in DromEd bigger is to drop your screen resolution and/or get a bigger monitor.

Or you could use the windows' Magnifier, that should do the trick.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think ZB is correct. My screen is 19 inches so I will play with the resolution a bit, and see If I can get an editor screen a little bigger and still be able to use the scroll down menus like aiwatch and stuff like that.

I need some bionic eyeballs ! :cheeky:

What if I already have those, and no stronger lenses will help my eyes ? Not so magic are they ? :sly:

Since textfont was already mentioned here, I ask here.
I have that a 4k screen. DromEd is running at 3780x2100. Pretty big. The text in the menus is very small now.
I already changed some gfh stuff and the textfon in the gui font (now it's FontAA36 actually). Looks pretty cool.
But I couldn't change the text in the other menus (DromEd menu, text in archetypes, metaproperies)
Does anyone knows the font of those menus. I replaced all fonts in RES/intrface with my own fonts, but they didn't change.

Upgrading from a 19" to a 27" would make a huge difference. You can get 'em pretty cheap these days.

Have you tried adjusting your windows font size? Maybe it uses what windows feeds it. (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller?v=t)
