Font Problem

Not sure how many other people are having this issue, but on my machine in Windows 98se, when I load Freelancer, the fonts are all too large. Like 5-6 points too large. Anyone know how to correct this so I have normal fonts? At one point I totally lost my counts (aka speed, distance, weapons numbers and ammo counts, etc) but managed to get that back by going to a machine with a working copy and doing a save on the game. I got my numbers back, but that still didn't fix my font issue regreatably.

My friend had this problem with his FL when he was running it on an earlier version of DirectX. Make sure DX9 is installed.... and if not that then i dunno =S

Since I can no longer get on a computer that actually HAS this problem I do know of a way that you can fix it although it takes a little tweeking with the size values in "fonts.ini" and "rich_fonts.ini". These files are located in your "Freelancer\DATA\FONTS\" directory. Just use something such as Bini or BiniQDU to decompress them.

Here is a sample of what to edit in each file:

__Fonts.ini__

[TrueType
nickname = ButtonText <---- The ID for the font settings.
font = Agency FB <---- Edit this value for font.
fixed_height = 0.043500 <---- Edit this value for text size.

__Rich_fonts.ini__

[TrueType
font = 0, Arial Unicode MS, 22 font = ID#, Font, Size

[Style ONLY EDIT THESE IF YOU WANT TO
name = STYLE_CONSOLE
font = 0
bold = false
italic = false
underline = false
color = 255, 255, 255

I hope that this will help each of you fix your problems.
