Cataclysm-dda: Feature request - Zoom for text

[Parahacker]

Game version: experimental 7426

Operating system: Win 10

Tiles or curses: Tiles

Mods active: All of them that are bundled; except Dino mod, generic guns, and the balancing mods except for the default (filthy clothes etc.)

Feature Request

While 'Fullscreen' has the option to scale everything, windowed does not. On my screen that makes windowed impossible to read; the text is too small, so I have to use fullscreen. That wouldn't be a problem except fullscreen CTD's if I switch to another program or my desktop.

While fixing the CTD would resolve my own problems, having a zoom function for windowed format would be a nice feature in and of itself.

23862 is the ticket for the CTD issue mentioned.

This has become urgent - there's simply no way for me to be able to read this game on my computer no matter what I do. After a recent Windows update that fussed with display settings, even Fullscreen now no longer zooms in regardless of settings tried. Without a text-zoom (and menu boxes I assume) function of this sort, CDDA is unplayable and it makes me sad :(

[Parahacker]

Is there a config file setting or something I can use to do something about this? What's involved in the process of making text/menus big enough to be readable?

You can edit "config/fonts.json" and change the font size (and width and height) there.

[Parahacker]

That worked! So happy, actually I went to IRC and someone told me about this... as a suggestion, add this tip to the help files/tutorials? It's such an easy fix but without knowing how I was about to just chuck the program! Solved :)

Could be closed then?

I think we should add this font size change onto game options ingame instead of changing it outside of game. This issue could keep open until that.
