Well I actually tried running the game in 1080 after I got the new fonts, but increasing the resolution to 1080 made everything smaller, of course. So when I set it to the largest font size in 1080, it was really about the same size as the largest font in 900.

Sure, I'm willing to give it a shot when I get home from work tonight. Let me know when you have it ready, and thanks!

Edit: Also, I don't know if this is useful to you or not, but it's a 1080P TV. I just lower windows resolution down to 16:9 to make everything more readable.  I'm not super knowledgeable about resolutions,  but I believe a lot of games I play auto adjust the resolution when I play a game, and then switch it back to my windows resolution when I exit the game.

Those new fonts were just big and readable enough to let me play, though I still had to squint a bit. I understand its a limitation that probably isn't solvable due to the way the game was built.

Seems like a very cool game. I'll probably just have to wait until I set this thing back up on a desk to really get deep into it.

Thanks for the help and the quick responses today, and good luck with the game.

Hey there. I know there's a few posts about font sizes already, but after reading them, I'm still having trouble understanding what I need to do to to increase the font size.

I have a bit of an odd setup. I've been using my 65" TV as my computer monitor for several years and occasionally run into an issue where font sizes in games are just way too small to read from my couch. I can usually mitigate this by lowering the resolution of a game until everything is readable enough.

For reference, I'm currently running Windows 8 with resolution set to 1600x900.

Within the options in Cogmind, I only have three font choices, 12pt Cogmind, 14pt Cogmind, and 12pt Crisp (plus two unavailable 10 pt sizes). In one of the other posts here, I saw something about lowering the map sizes down, then restarting the game, which would open up some larger font sizes. However I tried lowering the map sizes down to 50 and 50, restarting, and I still have the same 12/14/12 font sizes, with no new options.

I'd like to play the game in fullscreen, with bigger fonts, but if I have to play in windowed mode to get larger fonts I'm willing to do that also.

What can I do to increase the font sizes?

Thanks,
Justin
