FOF2004 Font/Text size

[KevinM]

Not sure if this is FOF or Windows XP related, but is there any way to increase the font/text size in FOF2004 ? The reason I ask is that I run my PC on a large 21" TFT screen at 1400x1050 resolution, so when I run FOF the text is really small, and the only way I can get it to a more readable size is to reduce the screen res down to 1024x768, which is a bit of a pain evertime I want to run FOF.

Is anyone else in the same boat ? If so, how do you get round it ?

Thanks,
Kevin.

I'm no expert, but try using ResHacker

Try using the "Large Fonts" or "DPI" setting on Windows. For XP this is at Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> General. Increasing this will also adjust the FOF display, although I don't think Jim fully supports this (i.e. you might have some display weirdnesses with it).

FOF Extractor even supports FOF running with this setting now...

scoot your monitor closer to your face

Thanks for the advice. Tried all of these (with the exception of strapping my PC to my face !), but it kinda messed everything else up.

Guess I'll just have to drop the res down a bit when I want to play FOF. Not a major problem, but thought I might have gotten away without having to do that.

Cheers,
Kevin.
