Font Size

Anyone know how to change the font size in the game? got a 27inch screen and the writing is tiny!

there is probably an xml file in the skin folder somewhere

I'll try and help you....

Look for the settings folder in your skin.

For Example: I'm using a skin called 'Base2010 Dark'. Locate the settings folder...I have it located in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2010\skins\base2010 dark\settings

There, I have an xml folder named 'base2010 dark settings'.

In that is a line that reads:

<!--

============================================================

TEXT SETTINGS

============================================================

-->

<!-- default text settings -->

<flags id="text_font" value="fonts/vera" />

<integer id="text_style" value="plain" />

<integer id="text_size_small" value="9"/>

<integer id="text_size_normal" value="10" />

<integer id="text_size_large" value="12" />

<!-- default hint text settings -->

<flags id="hint_font" value="fonts/vera" />

<integer id="hint_style" value="plain" />

<integer id="hint_size" value="8" />

<!-- default control text settings -->

<flags id="control_font" value="fonts/vera" />

<integer id="control_style" value="plain" />

<integer id="control_size_small" value="9" />

<integer id="control_size_normal" value="10" />

<integer id="control_size_large" value="12" />

<!-- default menu text settings -->

<flags id="menu_font" value="fonts/vera" />

<integer id="menu_style" value="plain" />

<integer id="menu_size_small" value="9" />

<integer id="menu_size_normal" value="10" />

<integer id="menu_size_large" value="12" />

<integer id="menu_opacity" value="500" />

<!-- default title text settings -->

<flags id="title_font" value="fonts/vera" />

<integer id="title_style" value="semi_bold" />

<integer id="title_size_large" value="16" />

<integer id="title_size_normal" value="15" />

<integer id="title_size_small" value="11" />

This has already been amended so as my skin's font is larger than the original, so feel free to use my figures as a guide to alter your own xml settings folder for the skin you are using.

If you have not downloaded any skins before then you may have to alter the file by locating it in the Program Files location rather than the My Documents location. Hope that makes sense!!!

Play around with the figures and see how you get on BUT make sure you back up your original file in case it all goes belly up.

Good Luck!
