Increasing X3:TC Font size

X3AP on Linux.
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).

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

Re:
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)BlackArchon wrote: ↑Fri, 12. Aug 16, 18:40I brought the Ubuntu font to X3 which fits quite well.

Re: Increasing X3:TC Font size
I'm glad to hear that.
Just the small "w" looks a bit weird with the Ubuntu font, it's a bit cropped.

Re: Increasing X3:TC Font size
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.
