font and/or screen/windows size (openttd jgrpp)

Post by lostpawn »

I have done a search but could not find a solution for my problem so bear with me if I overlooked one.

I play with openttd jgrpp.
My interface size is set on 2
the screen resolution is 1920x1080

When for instance I click on a depot to buy new vehicles, the window is too large for my screen, the new vehicles and clone train buttons are not on the screen. When I set the interface size on 1,75 this problem has been solved. But then the text in the windows is too small for my eyes.

So Is there a way to play with larger fonts maybe? Or is resizing windows possible?
In my openttd.cfg file I find some font settings:

small_font = Arial Bold
medium_font = Arial Bold
large_font = Arial Bold
mono_font = Consolas
small_size = 0
medium_size = 0
large_size = 0
mono_size = 0
small_aa = false
medium_aa = false
large_aa = false
mono_aa = false

but I don't know how and what to change.
Hope someone can help me.

The "size" option tells OpenTTD what size to make the font. I'd suggest starting with 8/10/12/10 and adjust up or down as necessary.

The "aa" option tells OpenTTD to enable or disable antialiasing. You might try setting these to "true".

If you edit the openttd.cfg file directly, do this while OpenTTD is not running.

So I changed the font settings to my liking but there remains one thing to fix and that is the size of the mouse cursor. It is tiny. Can I tweak a setting to fix this?

The mouse cursor size is based on the UI scaling setting, it can't really be adjusted independently.

Again, very helpful. Thank you Kamnet and of course the creator of this newgrf. I'm obliged to you both.
