Can you give more information? Which resolution? A screenshot? Did you check out the font size options in the main menu? |
|
Zapper (developer) 2016-03-01 19:43 |
As Maikel said: you can set the font size somewhere in the options. Is the biggest font size big enough? We /should/ probably check the monitor's DPI and pre-select a decent font size on first startup.. |

Some scenarios where you have to zoom out (like the windmill defense thing) are also pretty hard to play with these displays. My Laptop has a 14" screen with 1920x1080 resolution. |

Right, apparently I'm blind :D you're right, it's right there in the settings. But yes, making it autodetect a good setting would be nice. Also, is there any particular reason to limit it to a maximum of 20? |
|
Maikel (developer) 2016-03-02 20:57 |
There was previously, but not any more, we need to change that again. Can you tell us what resolution and screen size you are playing with? |
|

It's a 1920x1080 39in TV, at about 2-3 metres' distance. |

Hi! There's been a check-in that references this bug. For more information you can visit the repository browser at this address: https://git.openclonk.org/openclonk.git/commitdiff/5acf34c2ba03e66e217fdfc236874cd270360e2f Changeset 5acf34c by Maikel de Vries <mdt.maikel@gmail.com> allow larger font sizes for exotic monitor configurations (0001695) This can be still improved depending on the monitors dpi and select automatically a font that fits best to the dpi. |
|
Maikel (developer) 2016-03-04 20:09 |
I have added more font size options, these can be tested using the latest snapshot. |

Why did you move this to 9.0? I think HiDPI support is important and should be part of 8.0. Larger font sizes are only a quick fix anyways. For proper HiDPI support, all UI elements need to be scaled. |
|
Maikel (developer) 2017-08-21 17:36 |
Because the initial problems has been solved. The rest seemed a feature request. 8.0 is fine for me but I don't see anyone taking this and I see more important engine stuff in the 8.0 roadmap. |
