Default Re: Bigger fonts mod

Hi DRG,

Thanks for your alternative fonts. I tried them all.

Please find below my feedback:

1) In terms of look and feel: I much prefer the default font even if it is small. Small can be beautiful!

2) In terms of legibility: it depends!

I run Window 7 at 1920x1200 because:
- It is the native resolution of my monitor and hence the optimal resolution for font rendition (they are not distorted)
- I get a wider view of the map with a good rendition of the terrain and unit icons

I have no problem reading the Message_Information_Bar along the top of the screen and Unit_Information_Bar along the bottom of the screen. The reasons are:
- The contrast between the colour of the font and the color of the background are good
- The density (spacing and amount of text) of the different texts are reasonable and good

However the Unit_Information_Screen, the Headquarters_Menu, Scenario_List and all opening screens alike, are very hard to read because the spacing is quite narrow and there is a large amount of text.

In a future patch, please consider increasing the spacing and maybe the font size in all the opening screens.

Nowadays large monitors and high resolutions tend to become the norm.

Thanks.
