Sorry if this was asked before but after installing the "Best of both Worlds" mod, I have also a font problem. The first picture of the mod shows this with a nice yellow bold font:

My installation shows nothing in bold for the yellow text:

Any ideas? I did copy the Opart 4 Fonts.ini, of the mod, in my ..\Documents\My Games\The Operational Art of War IV folder.

Thanks in advance

I am progressing quite well creating my own Opart 4 Fonts.ini. But I do have a problem to find on which font I must act to change these parts circled in red.

All the options are here but the tooltip texts are not really explaining things. Same in the manual.

Any ideas?

All right, after several attempts

, the answer is the DialogMediumFont font. The font for the equipments inside the buttons is named EquipmentDialogMediumFont.

But, there are still some missing parts. I have highlighted in red what I have yet to find.

One thing I have just discovered if you are struggling to find the correct font. Activate the background option on several fonts to find their purpose.

All right, I am quite happy with my Opart 4 Fonts.ini file for my 1920x1080 display.

If anyone is interested, I have attached it here.

As usual, this Opart 4 Fonts.ini file needs to be copied in your ..\Documents\My Games\The Operational Art of War IV folder.

EDIT:

This version contains two bugs so I am removing it. I will add it later once they are solved.

Oops. Launching a game vs PO, there is one window that I don't like. The Combat Chart values are quite unreadable. Back to the font quest to find where is the problem.

All right problem, the background method does not work for this font. I suspect it is hidden by the other backgrounds. Does anybody know what font this is? It will save me a lot of time.

Its name is WideButtonFont and, after correcting it, it is looking better.

All right, the winner is again the TextButtonFont font. More exactly, it was the OutlineWidth parameter that was causing problem for these lines in the Combat Chart window.
