A Big Help for Dms and Players: Big Fonts

I've been struggling with the small fonts in NWN2, especially with scanning on a low-contrast background.

So I downloaded this:

and as a DM it looks like this on a 1280 x 898 :

It really pops on the small fonted area chooser and I can finally see all the items. You will have to restart every time you resize your window. This is really worth it if you are having trouble keeping up with the text window bombardment.

Enjoy!

A clear sign that ALFA's community is indeed of mature age. Next, mods to aid us hearing high-frequency sounds :P

For the assurity of maturity* maybe there is a Mosquito mod that plays a constant 17kHz tone to keep those pesky young loiterers away.

* Assuming that age has anything at all to do with behavioural maturity.

so my problem is I use a big tv for my monitor and have to sit way back from it. I can barely read the small fonts in the text boxes and do much better if I can follow conversation on the main screen as it happens, where I can zoom in. Is this going to help me if I download it?

yes I think so. I use a 22'' inch widescreen and it makes a huge difference right away. Nice part it is all you have to do is take it out of your override folder and its off. Or resize your screen and it turns off.

(I'd use the windows.exe installer they have if you aren't computer saavy btw)
