Increased text size of weight allowed in inventory

It increased text size not only for weight, but for number of potions/scrolls etc.

So... Do you like this new size of numbers in inventory screen?
To be honest, I have never had any issue with old one.

For me, the new, bigger size is much worse. Maybe on tablets it is better, since they have smaller screen, but on my PC it just looks ugly.
Beamdog, can you make the size optional? Something to tick in graphical options menu? Pretty please? :P

    I agree, It's bugging me quite a bit.

    I'm near-blind, so bigger numbers are very welcome. They are a bit too big now though... I'd like an option between old and new.

    Yeah, I think an option to choose whichever size works best for you would be great.

    I think I'm neutral on this. At first I was like... whoa that's big, then I didn't really notice / it didn't bother me. Something a bit in between would probably be less shocking initially though

    Yah it shocked me at first, but I grew to like it. I don't mind either way. If there was a toggle I would choose the bigger

    I don't mind them, but the old ones were fine.

    Well, I looked around and I'm pretty sure you just need to put this file in your override folder and it will be the smaller size:

    Let me know if you have any problems.

    I don't mind them being that size, it's the font that makes it look really ugly. It's like a bunch of blobs were aligned on a grid to look like a number.

    The big numbers are more functional and easier to see on high-res screens at the cost of being uglier on said screens.

    Tangentially, have they updated the inventory screen in any other way? In playing my version of Tutu, later in the game you end up playing horribly tedious games of inventory tetris. I have some stuff stored up for the some of the later, tougher battles, but that means that every time I pick up new loot I have to scramble to find some place to put it. Bottom line is a gem should not take up the same space that a full suit of plate-mail does.

    It's too bad they couldn't use the same size/style numbers as the gold count numbers or the numbers inside the shields for AC HPs THAC0 etc - almost as big as the new ones but more streamlined and clean looking.

    However I don't really have an issue with the new ones - I'm gettig used to them and if I had a toggle I would leave them on - the others were really too small for me.

    I like the idea of having it optional.

    When I play in windows mode (usually 1/5 my screen) the numbers were hard to read but now I know at a glance. While not in windows mode, I find them it too large.

    Another click in the graphics option would be nice.

    That's ugly.

    Please add an option to change the size of these fonts !

    I agree. It would appear that the numbers have just been enlarged by x2. A more 'fantasy friendly' typeface would be a nicer.
