Change text size in game?

Gwarsbane · 01-15-2010, 12:45 AM

Just wondering if there is a way to change the text size in game.

I just installed a new video card (HD 5770 with latest drivers) and I have been able to put my screen rez up to 1920x1200 with everything turned on. Its 16:10

The text seems a little big.

As you can see at the very top center, the little box with the map name seems to be cut off.

I just want to know if there is some way I can make that text at least a little smaller?

Q. is 16:10 native to your monitor or just an option in FF? if its not go set it to 16.9 and full res.

same problem happens with me on my laptop in the same resolution. (yes that's my laptops native res.)

squeek needs to fix it

afaik, that is hard coded into the game, so I don't think that you can change it Gwarsbane...however the issue is a bug b/c it shouldn't mess up like that. So, like Elmo said, squeek or someone would have to fix the sizing for that resolution.
