Marco Bergman Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have modified the default font used for the breifing text to assist those who are having trouble reading the small text. Here are the options available: TALL doesn't affect the game functions at all. The wide fonts affect the editor. Asuming people will go for the maximum sized version, here's what the editor looks like: Note the overflowed text on some buttons. When the cursor is over this text, the whole line displays. THERE IS ONE PROBLEM: The elevation readout is unreadable except at 2nd-closest or closest zoom level. You could of course move the font file out of the z folder while working on maps. The files: Standard width, tall: Double width: Double width, tall: (I didn't stretch the international characters vertically in the tall sets because it seemed pointless. If this is a problem, let me know.) The font changes only affect the editor, as can be seen in the picture above. Sometimes the text overflows the button, and is cut off. But when you move the cursor over it, the full text appears. All you have to do is copy one of the above files into the data/z folder. (Right-click on a font, choose cmsf/data/z as save location, don't change the name from "font%20geneva%209.bmp".) It's non-destructive, and if you don't like it you can just remove it. If you use the tall version, there are no issues at all. It is only the wide and wide-tall ones that have any problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Bergman Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for linking to this, where do I download it? Right-click on one of the purple rectangular font bmps above, choose "save picture as", select cmsf/data/z as save location. The required file name is: font geneva 9.bmp Note the spaces in the name. If the font doesn't work for you with the existing name "font%20geneva%209.bmp" then rename it manually to "font geneva 9.bmp" Or else use one of these links I just made. Unzip one of these into cmsf/data/z http://www.captskidd.com/cmsf/tall.zip http://www.captskidd.com/cmsf/wide.zip http://www.captskidd.com/cmsf/widetall.zip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see the dl instructions right under the pictures. Edit to add: I didn't rediscover this thread, I merely used Marco's link that he posted in his answer in the other thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 **BUMP** Wow, it took me over a half hour to hunt this mod down. It apparently was never uploaded to either the repository or GaJ Mod site, looked through both. Luckily I knew it existed otherwise I probably would of never found it. Simply put, this needs to be put on the BF repository for easier access or make this thread a sticky. This is a must-have mod for high resolution widscreen players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes, this should be sticky. Until the game accommodates large high res monitors this mod is almost essential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
