Title: Increase Database Font Size?
Post by: Frak_Tastic on November 05, 2015, 04:53:33 pm

First of all, major congrats on the release!  Thanks to everyone who contributed to the effort!

Just a minor question though, is there any way to increase the font size for the "Database" section?  In 1920 x 1200 they are extremely small.

Right now FreeSpace is just limited to an amazing 4 (four!) fonts. And with BP they are normal sized Arial, really small Arial, really big Arial and normal sized Bank Gothic. (Fonts meant for FS are real time consuming to make, its just not stick a TTF file in there). And due to the way the database screen works behind the scenes, the text can't scale up like in other screens. So I'm sorry that they are too small to read for you. :(

There are plans to add TTF support to the engine and you can bet I'll be there updating the database as soon as it gets in.

Isn't it actually 5?

I guess it is... Well we still don't have a font for in between normal and really large. :(
