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

SPFONT4v3.zip is best for me also.
It fits best into the available space without overlapping.
I play with 1280x1024.

Tanks for that mod!

Yes, many thanks for this mod. Much better than standard font.
Probably you can include the font as a standard in the next patch.
