Question - Map font (1 Viewer)

[BlueBug]

Ok, preface here. I'm showing my age; don't judge~

Is there a way MQ or EQ side to change the font size on the in-game map? Even when I wear glasses to play (NOT bifocals!!) I find if difficult to read the map. The labels are WAY small and I find myself leaning in reealllll close to the monitor to read it. I"m not certain the font size but a tad bit larger would be great.

I tried to Google this and only came up with global font increase or using the new UI scaling and that shit sucks.

MQ crew, fill me in......not up.


Thanks guys,

BB~

EQ side the only thing you can change is the font type and that effects the whole game. I checked the settings in MQ2Map and didn't see an option to change the font size either.

I could not find anything either. Maybe it's that gigantic monitor you're using :P

Any font would look small

Definitely the monitor, not you

Reduce the entire resolution of Windows. It won't be the native resolution for your monitor of course, but this is one way to do it.

Are you using DPI settings on eqgame properly?

Discussion - - High-DPI scaling in Windows 10

When trying to play EQ on a Surface Pro, the High-DPS scaling makes the windows and fonts scaled to unreadable size (tiny). I've tried changing the eqgame.exe properties and everything on this page but it doesn't seem to be working. I've even updated the eqclient.ini to try and force a screen...

That guy has some nice ideas, his software is Not too great for us RG people, because its not linked into mobs and such for real time location, but his concepts are good if one of us here is talented to bring those ideas into VV.
