font size

[nenadino]

Hello! I would like to know if there's any possibility to change the font size (or the style) of the text throughout the game (there must be a file in the game directory...). The standard font is extremely small and barely readable. Thank you in advance.

You can increase it in size a little bit with the -altFont switch for your desktop shortcut.

Hmmm, can you explain it better, please? Where, how? Sorry to bother you

[Terminus]

No bother. First thing you do is place a shortcut to WPO on your desktop. Make sure it's the shortcut for "quick start" not "game menu". Second, you right-click on the shortcut and select the menu item at the very bottom of the menu that pops up. Not sure what it's called in English, since I've got a Danish XP.

Once that's selected you end up in a box similar to the one shown below. Select the second tab and find the text box marked "destination" (or whatever it's called in English, it's the top one). Enter the -altFont switch in the same position that you see in the screenshot, and make sure you type it EXACTLY as shown, otherwise it won't work. Click "apply" and "OK" and you're set.

BTW, the other two switches "-deepColor" and "-w" selects deeper colour saturation and windowed mode. I use them both, as you can see, but that's a matter of preference. -altFont, on the other hand, is practically mandatory...[;)]

-altFont is mandatory, you are right! Thank you very much! At the end - is it possible to change the font style or we have to stick with the one the programmer chose?

[Terminus]

No, the font style is pretty much it...
