We really need definitions of what each setting is associated with and a picture.

Some I recognize, some I don't. This is the issue, you can't tell what setting affects what font without making a change and looking, we need an image for each font setting in the Opart 4 Font ini, or fix the in-game font option.

It might be easier to do in game. Go to the 2nd page in Player Options and there is an Edit Fonts button. You will get a slight description but it could be documented better what they change. You mentioned the Info Bar and the option to edit that is called Status Bar

Was not making permanent changes, that's the why OPART 4 Font.ini was being used. I'm aware.
