Can the map font be modded?

[PheasantPlucker]

Hi guys,

I'd like to shrink the font used for the province names on the map. They look a mess when turned on and seem to be twice as large as they need to be. Also the colour of the font makes it unreadable on some maps.

Can anyone advise if it is possible and where I might start?

Thanks.

It is not possible to edit the fonts in the game at the moment. You cannot simply replace them with another, the devs have used some program written by themselves, to implent the basic Doms 3. font to the game.

The color of the fonts used on a map can be changed, but it's a map-by-map change, and probably has to be done by editing the .map text file.

#maptextcol <red> <green> <blue> <alpha>

I think there's also a size factor that changes the size the different icons (temples, candles, forts etc) take, and this might affect font size as well.

Ok, thanks for the info.
