The example above is font file from Don (dlazov66).
Remember, all alignment is done using the default fonts and with normal (96dpi) system font size! So before reporting any text alignment problem, please run it with default fonts.
Rough font list is below:
1 - is big font widely used in headers
2 - the most used font
3 - rarely used big font (ex. end game screen)
4 - rarely used small font (ex. top menu date/turn, etc)
5 - used on unit counters on highest zoom and as small bold header
6 - small font used in Commander's reportd
7 - rarely used large font (ex. weather report)
8 - small bold font used on unit counters on medium zoom. also used in Commander's Report
9 - widely used in editor
Based on Pavs new code I made and tested some subtle differences, I personally like these fonts better, but that is just me.

Pavel, may you please make clickable text permanently yellow as now blue text is indistinguishable from the white non-clickable text. At least for some players. Please [&o]
Here are the subtle results of that config (I like the default but this suits me a bit better):
Default screen
Zoomed out 2
Zoomed out 1
Just showing a beginning pocket
CR via Unit, filtered by panzer/motorized divisions on map
CR Army report (filter)
Fonts changed losses screen.

Emir, due to the way how the color coding is done it could be much more difficult task to customize colors.
great extra work for the game engine, thanks for all of it, i really like the zoomet out 1, have more clear view on the units,
best regards,

There is no plan of battle that survives the contact with the enemy.
Okay been spending a fair amount of time (wife has been sick and sleeping so that means since seven am) experimenting with the fonts and I came up with this as a master file, some screen shots will follow in another post if interested.
WARNING: Depending on your monitor size, font dpi settings, screen resolution, hardware, software installed, personal preference, default language spoken/read, life experiences and a host of other possible items, these are really just suggestions based on some of my personal preferences and opinions. Bottom line what looks beautiful to me may look horrific and offensive to you so please take my mods with a grain of scotch.
