Which settings make the font size larger? Playing at 1080p

Hi all,

Question is in the title, playing at 1080p I can hardly read (for example) the industry names in the world map.

Specific settings would be much appreciated or are they all universal to one setting in the openttd config file?

Thanks Pete 8)

Exactly what I need; do you know which setting is specific to the world map text?

EDIT: Using the default recommended settings mentioned on the FAQ page you linked me to have done the trick. I changed the Arial font to Verdana as I prefer that.

Thanks for your input :-)

EDIT - Update ..

Just in case others want to know which each font setting changes, here are my findings:
small = Text found in the World map and graphs

medium = Text found on the main menu, station names, station details, industry details, finances, all toolbars, new vehicles, vehicle income at stations and town names

large = Text for events such as news etc
I haven't worked out what the mono setting is. If you know please reply :)

Mono is for Readme-Files (from downloadable stuff)
