Size of size text in DR


grayman

Recommended Posts

Currently, no, it's hard-coded. And worse than hard-coded, there's actually only one size available for the whole application to draw with, so it's not even possible for different parts of the interface to use differently-sized text.

I too find the text too small (and I'm only 38), and I did very slightly increase it in one of my local commits while working on renderer-related tasks, but it would be nice to fix this properly so that users could configure whatever size they found most readable.

Does it scale with windows font scaling? I do have it set to 125%, but I don't remember how it looked at 100%.

As far as I know it's just a fixed pixel size (not a point size) so I doubt it will scale with Windows font scaling, although it might scale if there is a global DPI scale which also affects the wxGLCanvas widget.

I can confirm that it scales with Windows font scaling.

100% on the left, 125% on the right.

I think you're looking at the text in menus and the console window, which should indeed scale.

Grayman is talking about the text on OpenGL windows, e.g. for the grid coordinates and the size of selected objects. In your screenshot this text can be seen at the bottom of the 3D view showing render statistics, and this does appear to be the same size in both images.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
