Exclamation Re: Bigger fonts mod

OK....... HUMOUR me here.

It took me 6 hours to get the Getfont DOS program to work on my win95 box copying files back and forth on a 3.5 floppy yesterday so while I've got it fresh in my mind ...........

The attached version adds one pixel of width to many of the characters which I think makes that font bigger and more readable and still keeps it from bleeding into places it shouldn't. This one will probably be a new spfont5.dat for the next version used to increase font sizes in some screens but that all depends on how it works out in testing

To give a comparison the first scenario in MBT is titled "WinSPMBT Tutorial Scenario"


In the stock spfont4.dat that title is 123x7 pixels wide and high on screen

The one I sent yesterday is 123x8 pixels wide and high on screen

This one is 130x8 pixels wide and high on screen
