Font size control?

Greetings awesome people,

I was told (back when BGEE was announced) that it would allow font controls, & even larger font sizes like 30+.

(I need 30+ to read well.)

Is that still true?

Thank you!

    This is a good question, I do remember this being mentioned at some point, but nothing about specific font sizes. Perhaps @TrentOster or @PhillipDaigle could pop in here to answer your question if they have a free second.

    We can increase the font size, but there is a limit to the spaces allowed at each resolution. Our current plan is to allow for small, normal and Big font settings. on the big setting, we'll push it as large as we can.

    Font size is surprsingly important - Ive played bg with the widescreen mod, and on my 1920x1080 size monitor, the text is really difficult to read. Size is obviously important, but if there is some hard coded size limit, then legibility + colour can compensate for this. The default font at the moment could be significantly clearer, particularly the hard red of player responses.

    I strongly second this.

    Some kind of font adjustment is really important, especially when game is gonna use this high resolutions now.

    I think it's about time to bump this half year old topic. Any information on that Font Size feature? It's driving me nuts. Or is there at least a temporary solution for this? I feel cheated having waited extra time for an already posponed game, and now after I finally bought it, hoping that these features would already exist, I have to wait extra time browsing the Forums in a hope of a fix.

    Please keep in mind that reading lots of text is the main essense of Baldur's Gate and not all of us have perfect eyesight, hence this issue should be addressed immediately.

    Bump away! This would be a nice feature to have although TBH I would rather the devs got all the other problems out of the way before doing this.
