Advice Needed: Messing up with Display Font Sizes

[Galach]

Good evening everyone.

I was able to change one of the many extensions posted here in a way CR does not get all messed up. I sadly do not remember which extension was, or the author, but anyway, I just changed some things there and it worked (I also don't have idea of which config was, because I changed the size of everything).

I am using it with my 15' notebook screen, with scale ui at 75, and it works great. The size is just slightly bigger than the Fantasy Grounds original size (like 1 or 2 pt, I am not sure), but for me works great for me.

The modified version is attached here: Attachment 16546

Nice Thanks for sharing!

After I shared that, I saw the other posts I had a subscription and found that this extension was made by Trenloe. Good thing I didn't changed the file name, so I was able to find out who is the author =)

Adding clarification:

The file I shared IS the original made by Trenloe. I was reviewing my FG installation and I had tried to increase the size of the fonts by one point further (something like a 12 points instead of 11), but despite of changing the values in the XML, my file does not work.


So, since I am very serious about given the credit to whom deserves it, sorry about that. I started to use Trenloe's extension a while ago and my memory isn't that good, so I made a mess here... =P

The majority of FG's fonts are hard coded font files of a single font size. Just changing the font size numbers in the <font> definition doesn't create new fonts (unless it is one of the rate True Type Fonts used), you need to check that the <fgffile> font file referenced by the <font> definition actually exists.

HiRes Fonts actually increases the fonts without going overboard, and it doesn't turn everything bold (which was part of the problem). Also the Big Fonts typo's several .ttf with ,ttf which shouldn't work anyway unless the system is very forgiving.

The above extension uses Bookerly, a font Amazon created which has gotten high praise for readability on screens, tones down the "harsh black" to super dark grey, and makes sure that styles are all respected... only bolding text that should be bold, having headers be slightly larger than body text, etc.
