If you experience issues with this, try an updated extension here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post354111

I removed all the 5e tags just now so it will/should work with most CoreRPG rulesets.

Can you share that? More real estate on screen sounds attractive.

Edit: thank you!

Is there a visual we can have to show the user the different Fonts available by using these extensions. Is there an example somewhere? Like a before and after...

Thanks

Just download it and try it - it will take you about 7mins from woah to go...
I used Big Fonts without scaling last week playing Call of Cthulhu. It was just a lot easier on the eyes all round :)

Will do. (I was asking because i'm at work right now and was curious...... long day)

Thanks :)

Well, since I am getting a bit blind with age, I am trying this extension right now, and also tried another one with a font size 11 (I think this extension is something like a 14pt size). The previous mod (11pt size) did not worked, or the change was not visible for me, and this one (BigFonts) is a bit too large. So, here goes my question: is there a way I can edit the .ext file to get something in between?

EDIT:
Well, just forget about it. I just downloaded the BigFonts (not 5eBigFonts) and it works perfectly. The size is slightly smaller and it changes all entries, so the screen have a better look.

/scaleui xxx (like 150 or something)

To answer your question though - yes - unpack it and have a look at the graphics_fonts.xml file and play with those settings.
