Increasing X3:TC Font size

[gilboa]

Hello all,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but this threads is the first match when googling for X3 and 4K and I *might* help fellow X3 players (as this thread helped me)

1. Under X3/Steam/Linux, the folder name is 'F' (Upper-case) and the font names are 'Tahoma13.abc' and 'Tahoma13.tga'.
2. xfontmaker works just fine using wine (Windows emulator).

WFIW I've yet to find the best combination, (Ariel+9+'Y:-2' seems fairly close to 'acceptable') but I'm getting there

Thanks.

I brought the Ubuntu font to X3 which fits quite well. You can have a look here: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=387201 (it works for all X3:TC/AP versions, not only for LU).

Thanks!
These a the best fonts thus far on my 32" 4K display.

Hello,

I may be doing something wrong. I created a folder called "f" in E:\Steam\steamapps\common\x3 terran conflict ( I also tried "F") but nothing seems to be changing. I tried the Ubuntu fonts and a few others with no luck. Is there anything else I need to do? I'm running win 10 64 bit.

Thanks!
Matt

"f" works fine for me. But i used the x3 fontmaker program. The folder needs to contain exactly one .abc and exactly one .tga file. Maybe you need to activate the visability of file endings in your browser?

If your setup is like this you should try another custom font.

It basically should look like this: http://imgur.com/a/haPBV

Thanks! I don't have an XRM folder, the path I have is E:\Steam\steamapps\common\x3 terran conflict\F (or f, I have tried both)

Thank you for this! My last try was "Segoue UI 10 semibold y-3", looks great, but the Ubuntu one is a little bit wider. I´ll keep the Ubuntu (made my own Ubuntu Standard 11 y-4)

I'm glad to hear that.
Just the small "w" looks a bit weird with the Ubuntu font, it's a bit cropped.

excuse me for necroing, but I've tried a lot of types with X3fontmaker and ubuntu regular is very good find indeed, almost no crops, decent readability, a bit too wide for some menus tho.

most sans square'like types will do, especially those with larger x-height, but only till 10pt/regular. few 11pt/10pt+bold too with very little crops.
for a while I've stopped on Overpass bold 10pt/Y:-4, it looks more generic, but even easier to read for ppl with sight issues since its bold.

ppl who would prefer more space style may try Alrdrith 10/y:-2, while ubuntu condensed 11/y:-4 and Teko 13/y:-4 will allow to fit all text entries in tables - all those are heavier for eyes tho.
