Did you try to change font size? Because your problem should be solved if you change font size. For gryvix I can't tell as there is no screenshot.

Yes, I did. I tried with:

small_font =
medium_font =
large_font =
small_size = 12
medium_size = 16
large_size = 22

But nothing change.

What is written in the console if you start openttd with "openttd -d misc4freetype1" ?
Mostly top [misc] lines (...found as personal directory) and bottom [freetype] lines.

Hum... in My Documents* are a OpenTTD folder and a openttd.cfg. There I modify font size:

small_size = 7
medium_size = 10
large_size = 16

...and now font size are better.

Thank you.

* before I changed openttd.cfg in Programs/OpenTTD :!:

Windows may or may not be resized with a resize button - the if and how depends upon the window. There's no way you - currently - can change the default size. Menu icons can also not be changed yet in size.

And: always use plain text files, not MS word or some other proprietary formats for text files. I guess it's not only me who'll refrain from opening it.

Who puts a screenshot in a word file? Just upload the pic, and save everyone the bother. Apart from that, what planetmaked said. Word documents are a lot less portable than plain text files.

This should be a sticy topic. I play with 1920x1200 resolution, and text was very small. I used fontrenew GRF to fix that problem before found this topic.

Thx :).

I'm quite sure you have one. Otherwise just start the game and immediately exit it after starting, and a fresh openttd.cfg will be created for you.
