Disclaimer: I know it is impossible to increase the font-size in-game beyond a certain point. In fact, "expand font width" or whatever is the only option for most text displays.
But. Has anyone attempted to mess with the font in other out-of-game ways? I assume winetricks installs some font files which could be manipulated.
I run EVE (via wine) at 1920x1080 on a 40 inch telly and it is near impossible to comfortably read text at normal viewing distances. Do I have any options beyond the disappointing selection offered in-game?

Guess not. I have noticed under the graphics tab in Wine Config there is a DPI slider. I might play around with that and see what happens. If my theory is correct, increasing DPI will make things bigger. And possibly horrid-looking... We'll have to see. ;) --- Not happy with something in EVE?

I too would love to see a better font size selection... its just too small for modern montiors -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The sentence below this one is true. The sentence above this one is false. |

I'm having Font issues as well. It's so small it gives me a headache after a while. only window I can seem to adjust is the chat window. But looking at market prices is still unbearable.

Same issue here. EVE support and devs play dumb regarding this issue. That's a shame...

tTe fonts aren't controlled by the system but they are controlled by the client so you can only use what the client offers. Take this into account; The EVE UI was designed in 2002/2003 and has not changed since about 2004/2005. This was a time when 19" screens on computers were about 1000ú$. I play on a 23" 1920x1080 monitor and font sizes are fine.
In fact font sizes appear to be fine on most computer monitors unless you have a 30" monitor at 2560x1600 which i have not seen anyone using.
You are using a 40" TV, things will be a lot blurrier and harder to read since you are sitting at a much larger relative distance. I sit at about 24-26" from my screen. Taking that into account you should sit about 30-35" from your TV to get the same relative resolution.
If anything pressure CCP to redesign the UI to be more optimized. ------------------------------------- Read my bio ingame for tips on how to live and not be called nasty names by me. |
