Reverting to old font.
Hello,

If possible, I'd like to know how to revert to the old font without having to revert to an old nightly patch (I really want to see how sieges fare now!). The font is now very big and bright on my monitor (playing on 1280x1024 resolution and 5:4 aspect ratio). I had no issue with the old font.

Thank you for your time!

You can make the font smaller by following this guide [1] but editing the Data/font_data.xml file from the mod folder instead of the common one from the game, if you want the old font back you will have to stick with an older patch, as it uses custom monolithic shaders.

The colors are the same, but as the font has better resolution (and contrast), colors look more vivid instead of washed out. Changing the font also gave us extended Latin support and got rid of the shadow fringes. We aren't going back, but we can tweak what we already have.

TLD has always had readability problems with the busy backgrounds and low contrast glyphs.

Okay, thank you.

Changing size did help a bit and looking good enough for me now. Thank you :)

Can you tell me which size you found easier on the eyes? It's good to have a second opinion.

I changed it to 350. The contrast of the text doesn't feel as sharp when I changed it to that size.

That's now the default value in the latest nightly. Let me know what you think.

It is much better now, thank you!
