Maximum Font Size - THANK YOU!

sandman2575 · 04-12-2013, 11:20 AM

Either I never noticed this on the 13 demo or it wasn't there -- but a huge Thank You to the dev's for implementing the "Maximum Font Size" selection in the Preferences. This single feature now enables me to play OOTP on my native 1920x1080 resolution! Previously the font was way too small for me to read, so I was playing the game in 1280x720 - perfectly playable but very grainy, an I had to change my comp's resolution every time I played. Now, I'm all set!

LOVE the clean, streamlined look -- 13 looked very nice, but 14 is just stunning... esp. in 1080p!

That is a new feature, yes

I like it too! But I'm playing at 2560x1600, so the max font size still looks a tad small to me. Definitely playable, a huge improvement over OOTP13, but a tad small still. I'll have to play a while to see whether it's an issue, or whether I'll need to drop to 1920x1200.

Are others playing at 2560x1600?

I'm not seeing any difference between standard, increased, and maximum font sizes. I just see more of a space between lines in the larger font sizes. The letters don't get any bigger for me, so it's not readable from across the room. I'm playing at 1920x1080, windowed, ootp14 skin. None of the other skins increase the actual font size either for me. Any suggestions?
