I fear my mod won't be compatible with MEIOU.
Randomgamer71 Nov 8 @ 8:27am 
There is a version around that would work with EUIV 1.29.6? I'd like to play MEIOU 2.60 but default fonts are too small. I found a version of the mod for 1.29.3 but the top bar come out... unaligned is the best I can put it. The warning flags (things like 'not enough rivals" etc) are covered by it.

yes. nevermind it seems that thats how the game looks like when rendering greek fonts or something. i saw a post from reddit. cant find a mod to fix it either..

Do you play it in english?
Zrov May 14 @ 4:45am 
some of the alphabets are missing sometimes, the country name looks like a mess idk why

You should warn that the mod is incompatible with another UI mods, I thought this was only the font, but it breaks the UI mod I was using.

bro that helps thanks for your interest:steamhappy:
Impi07  [author] Oct 26, 2024 @ 8:38am 
There is no easy solution to use the vanilla font I think, but you can edit mapicons.gui.

Line 659: font = "Arial12"
You can change the font to verdana12b. This is the smallest font of the mod.

Maybe this helps.
Emirke Oct 26, 2024 @ 8:07am 
any solution? thanks in advance.
Emirke Oct 26, 2024 @ 7:13am 
sorry for misunderstanding here is the screenshot https://imgur.com/a/lk7IZxW i dont like the spilling soldier numbers on the land unit
Impi07  [author] Oct 26, 2024 @ 7:08am 
Can you post a screenshot? I don't know what you mean. The mod doesn't change the image of the soldiers.
Emirke Oct 26, 2024 @ 6:39am 
really good mod i just want to convert the bar and image of my soldiers on the map to vanilla, how can I do it?
Zorelmo Oct 23, 2024 @ 2:42am 
yep, it's incompatible with age and spendor expanded, i tried disabling all but better font and that, there seems to be an incompatibility with the modded age tab making the game crash when attempting to display it
Impi07  [author] Oct 22, 2024 @ 5:59am 
Do you have another mod enabled?
Zorelmo Oct 22, 2024 @ 4:42am 
crashes with the age and splendor tab

This mod at 1920x1080, and GUI 1.5 is perfect for another old blind like me. Thank you very much!!!! :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:
Bruce Sep 23, 2024 @ 2:42pm 
Heh, I came hear to deliver praise, being vaguely aware that I had before. But it was less than a month ago, I see! Nevertheless, I will praise this mod again and thank its author. EU IV would not be possible for me without it.
Bruce Aug 31, 2024 @ 8:35am 
This is still the best font mod for this game. The following has been said before (probably by me, somewhere in these 70 pages of posts):

1) Many, many thanks for this. I, too, would not be able to play EU IV were it not for this mod.

2) Why in the name of the god of gaming does not Paradox do something about this in the first place? If you could achieve this with a custom solution, why cannot they do so officially? For crying out loud, not all of us are playing on jumbotron monitors. The developers should be required to sit down in front of a 1920x1080 laptop and play their game for a few hours. UI alterations would ensue shortly thereafter.
Scrof Aug 21, 2024 @ 12:39am 
Fair enough, thanks anyway :cozyrealmroyale:
Impi07  [author] Aug 20, 2024 @ 11:35pm 
Sorry, no. This would be way too much work.
Scrof Aug 20, 2024 @ 2:19pm 
Amazing mod, super readable, makes the game playable for blind old me. Might I request an Anbennar compatibility patch? Would love to use it there also.

You get very few characters for naming your armies with this mod. If you want longer army names go to interface > unitpanel_card.gui (in the mods files) and increase x=130 in this entry:
editBoxType = {
position = { x = 52 y = 49 }
name = "unitname"
font = "vic_18"
borderSize = {x = 0 y = 0}
size = { x=130 y=22 }
text = ""
orientation = "UPPER_LEFT"
}
330 works great for me.
Impi07  [author] Jul 20, 2024 @ 5:02am 
Ok, done.
Delilah Jul 19, 2024 @ 11:11pm 
Can you update paradox forum links
Nerthuz ♥ Jun 11, 2024 @ 2:42pm 
Thank you so much for this!
I've barely been able to play EU4 after getting a new screen due to the regular font hurting my eyes.
This is such a lifesaver
Impi07  [author] Nov 18, 2023 @ 4:49am 
Yes, I will update in the next few days.
criogenics Nov 17, 2023 @ 11:57am 
Any chance this could be updated for 1.36? The "Autonomous Conversion" isn't showing up. Thanks!!
1337noob Sep 24, 2023 @ 4:07am 
Thank you so much for saving this game for me. I'm forever grateful!
atleastonemoremod Sep 14, 2023 @ 8:39am 
My eyes thanks ye.
Impi07  [author] Jun 11, 2023 @ 11:35am 
Yes, you can do it if you want.
mcwoody Jun 11, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Hi, is this open source? I'd like to contribute more fonts if possible.
mcwoody Jun 10, 2023 @ 12:54pm 
@Joey you could try uploading to Imgur and linking it.
Joey May 25, 2023 @ 10:48am 
I would but I don't see how to attach pictures to these comments.
Impi07  [author] May 25, 2023 @ 4:26am 
@Joey can you show an example? Is there no tooltip to see this?
Joey May 24, 2023 @ 10:38pm 
It's a great mod only the font is slightly too big so the ends of some readouts are cut off and not being able to read the end of what a event decision gives you makes the game unplayable.
Scrof May 24, 2023 @ 3:01pm 
Supremely readable, this is hands down my favourite font mod.
DE RETOUR PRES DE TOI May 20, 2023 @ 4:00pm 
Thank you for keeping this mod updated throughout the years
Impi07  [author] Apr 21, 2023 @ 4:11am 
You can download an older version of the mod in the paradoxf mod forum. The link is in the description above.

Hello, any way to keep the 1.34.x Version alive? Want to finish my bb-prussian campaign under 1.34.5 - the game crashes after loading the save when the new updated mod is enabled. Thanks!
Bruce Apr 19, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
Thanks. Your mod has made it possible for me to play EU IV.
Impi07  [author] Apr 18, 2023 @ 7:04am 
I will update in the next few days.
dvolk67 Apr 18, 2023 @ 5:36am 
In 1.35 Paradox made some changes in UI (like "3-buttons-govt-specific-mechanic", such as Russian streltsi-oprichnina-something, muslim taxation policies etc). Also "start forom specific date / Load game" in the starting screen doesn't work.
So this mod requires some adjustments.
I hope it will be donew soon. The game without it is a pain.
RMC Apr 5, 2023 @ 7:30am 
I have no other mods, but maybe it was a random game glitch. Just weird it happened when I removed it
Impi07  [author] Apr 5, 2023 @ 4:32am 
This is a pure graphical mod. It doesn't change game play.
RMC Apr 4, 2023 @ 1:28pm 
I removed this mod from a save file and my ruler got replaced by a 0 1 0 ruler from nepal with the wrong religion, he's 0 years old and can lead armies and he likes to crash the game, even after re-activating the mod. It kinda ruined the most succesful playthrough I've had :( be careful guys
5pashapasha5 Nov 18, 2022 @ 6:12am 
This mod is good. But can someone make a mod with even larger text? help me please.
Niebe Oct 25, 2022 @ 3:45am 
Just bought the game and playing on a 2k screen makes the vanilla font unreadable (or blurry at increased scale).

This mod makes the fonts clear and easily readable even at 1.0 GUI scale.

Thank you!
Impi07  [author] Sep 14, 2022 @ 5:00am 
Updated for 1.34
kevinngz Aug 23, 2022 @ 9:55am 
Thank you so much!!! It fits perfectly in 1.33, I can finally play in 2k on macbookpro's 13.3 mini screen!
Taipan Mar 14, 2022 @ 7:12am 
Seems to work fine with 1.33. I don't understand why the vanilla fonts can still be so bad in 2022.
