Hope this is posted in the right place. Just downloaded the demo and finding I need to increase the font size through out the VTT. Have looked but am not seeing how to do this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Someone posted an enlarge font extension the other day. I'll see if I can find it.

Found it! https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?25600-Using-FG-at-the-tabletop&p=226590&viewfull=1#post226590

You can also increase the overall size of everything from the SETTINGS option on the window before you log into a campaign.

That is what I did because one of my player's setup has them a fair distance from their monitor... and it worked out great for them. :)

Here's the difference that extension makes:

You can also use the /scaleui XX chat command once in FG (where XX is a percentage to scale the whole screen). This is stored for future use in the settings entry Nyghtmare mentions above.

Hmm decrease the ui size and increase the font size = a win win in my opinon!

Is there a way to do that Draca? The extension from what I read would change font size for a given module but would that affect all the font even the chat and other UI font? of so that would work better like you said.

Im looking into it now , and i just asked in another thread if that extension could change the chat font as well.

It doesnt increase the chat , but it did make the reference readable at a ui scale of 70

Thanks. This is very helpful. I just needed to make the type a bit bigger for my old man eyes. The rest of the UI scale is fine.
