Increase font size?

[noxxle]

I'm trying to play on Lenovo's Thinkpad 8. This is an 8 inch tablet with display resolution of 1920x1200. The text and some icons are so small that the game is almost unplayable. Is there a way to increase either?

Forge and other java programs appear to be unaffected by DPI settings in Windows. Is there a command flag I can use, or a config file I can edit?

Forge isn't really designed to be played a screen that small, and there's no settings currently to make the font bigger or smaller at this time. Does everything look ok other than the text?

That said, I am currently working on a mobile version of Forge. It's still in development, but you could check it out here.

Not sure what you mean by looking ok. Many icons/boxes are difficult to press, but they appear to wrap around the text. Increasing the text size might fix that issue.

I've got another 8 inch tablet that has a resolution of 1280x800. Forge works great on that one.

drdev, how difficult would it be to add a scale font setting?

Depends on what you'd want it to affect and whether you care if certain layout gets messed up. Making the font scale across the board would be pretty trivial, but making that font look good with all the places that were laid out based on the current font sizes would be a lot harder.

Could you maybe just reduce the resolution of your tablet?

Any resolution other than native looks fuzzy.

I'd like to try scaling the fonts across the board. Can I do this by editing a file(s)? If so, which?

You'd have to edit the source and recompile it at the moment. I could create a setting to apply a scale to the font sizes, and then you could manually edit the preferences file to change it (or I could add a GUI control to change it), but I'd want to know, is it all text you'd want scaled, or only certain text? I guess, is there anything you're able to read without needing it be scaled?

If possible, could you maybe send me some screenshots of the problematic screens?

[noxxle]

All screens are problematic. Everything is readable but I have to hold the tablet 6 inches from my face.

Scaling everything up about 33% might do the trick.

*edit*

Would screen PPI (pixel per inch) info help in determining scale?

As mentioned in a previous post, I have two 8" tablets. Forge looks great on the lower res tablet, which is 1280x800. This calculates to a PPI of 189. The higher res tablet is 1920x1200 with a 8.3" screen, which calculates to a PPI of 275.

I, too, have this problem. I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro with a very high resolution screen.

It would be very nice to be able to increase the font size for everything that is currently not scaled. This would include just above all text except for the text that is printed on top of cards, I think.

I don't think that there would be significant problems, as with such a high resolution screen there is currently a lot of space for such text.
