changing font ?

boran_blok · 02-18-2004, 11:09 AM

because the optimal res of my LCD screen is 1024x768 i'd like to play BG2 at this resolution, but the font isnt exactly all that readable on that res, is there any way to change it ?

Hmm...i play in 1024x768 windowed or fullscreen and don't have any problem with this..are you sure it's not a sharpness issue with the monitor?

The only thing i can suggest is the line in your baldur.ini file:

FontName=

I haven't the slightest idea whether it would work (and it seems far too simplistic) but you could try putting the name/path of a clearer windows font in there (eg Arial) This might be one to ask the official tech support guys about though...

well, the issue, is (at least that's what I think) that my glasses arent optimal, I have fairly bad eyes, and normally I wear lenses, but mostly when I'm home in front of my Pc I wear my glasses which arent up to strength I think. well, I can try and play around in the ini stuff eh

thanks for pointing it out.
