How To: Changing Fonts/Font Sizes

[arthego]

So as you increase the resolution of of your game the fonts shrink and become hard to read. In order to help this you can go into your font.ini and increase the font size, this solves part of the problem. The second part is the default fonts the game use can be hard to read when scaled up. To fix this you can point the font.ini to a different font that is in the font folder and mess around with scaling. This can be tricky though and may require a lot of testing.

To help with this I'm posting my setup. To use it simply make a backup of your current font.ini, then copy and past the below text into your original font.ini file and start up the game.
