UI Font Fix [up to 4K] | Increased console font

Tired of using a microscope each time you try to read the console?
Well, then you've come to the right place! This addon increases the font sizes in the game console, net_graph, cl_showpos, chat, server browser and other UI's, making them readable on high DPI screens.
No BS, just bigger fonts.

Most of the UI elements have been adapted for 1440p (2K) and 2160p (4K).

If you need to go bigger, check out the other one here.

Due to some unfortunate specifics of Left4Dead 2 loading order, addons that change the fonts do not work straight out-of-the-box. But follow these steps carefully and you'll be good:

1. Click Subscribe.
   
2. Launch the game to make sure that the addon is downloaded.
   
3. Close the game, go to "..\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\workshop\" and sort the folder by date. Unless you subscribed to a lot of addons simultaneously, this one should be the latest one. You can check it visually with the help of .jpg file. It should be 2891842569.vpk
   
4. Move the .vpk file to "..\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\addons\" folder. Unsubscribe from the addon in the workshop to avoid addon conflicts.
   
5. Go to "..\Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg\" folder, open autoexec.cfg and put these two lines in:
   
   mat_setvideomode XXX YYY 1 mat_setvideomode XXX YYY 0
   where `XXX YYY` is your screen resolution. For example, if you're playing in 1080p, these lines should look like this:
   
   mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 1 mat_setvideomode 1920 1080 0
   '0' or '1' in the end sets the video mode. Use example above, if you're playing in fullscreen, and swap them, if you need windowed borderless mode.
   
6. That's it, you're done.

Note that if you have a lot of addons, there will likely be contradictions (e.g. one of them wouldn't work). So you'll have to decide for yourself, what's more important for you and get rid of the rest of conflicting addons.

If you have some stupid questions, you're welcome to leave them elsewhere. This guide is more than extensive, I do not intend to teach you the basics of PC usage here. I'm gonna assume that if you ended up on this page, looking for a way to make the console readable, you already know all this stuff. And if you didn't bother reading this description before asking your question, I'm gonna ignore your message as well.

As for the other questions, you're welcome in the comments.

There will be no more major updates of this addon, except for the necessary fixes.
If you strive for perfection, there is an additional addon that fixes the bug with the game mode titles in the main menu. It is in a separate project, because it would be incompatible with the most popular addons that add the server browser in the main menu. So use it only if you really want to, it is optional.
