Is it possible to change the font type of the ingame books and scrolls?

because my english isnt the best and there are dialects too, but if it really looks handwritten i often dont know whats written in scrolls because i cant read them

As far as I know you can't do it ingame. The only thing that comes to my mind is to open the pk4 file and alter it yourself, but you would have to know a little bit about how it works. If you don't know anything about how everything is packed then I wouldn't try messing with it. I agree that a few fonts are really difficult to read for none native English speakers and even for native I recon.

ok, thx, was just a try because i dont know how its packed...

 

i was hoping for just changing some numbers in the file which could refer to the font types...

Despite English being my first language, I find some of the fonts illegible.

This is a bad compromise, but if your end goal is just to read the writing, one thing you can do for now is to at least open up the .pk4 like a .zip folder, look in the xdata sub-folder, take out the .xd or .xdata file where the readables are written (the name varies, but hopefully it's apparent), then when you can't read something you can always go back after you've finished the FM (or right then if it's windowed mode) and read them then. Or maybe you could even print it out, and when you can't read the note, you can look down the list, find it, and read it. (And try not to spoil yourself on the others.)

 

If you wanted to actually change the font, you'd have to change every instance of a xxx.gui reference and change it to a .gui that's more readable (like the "print" ones, but I don't even have the list in front of me to know the proper name). But that's a bit hard to do if you've never done it...
