Title: Larger font?
Post by: Catinthewall on November 15, 2009, 01:38: I'm enjoying DoomRL more than I ever enjoyed Doom*, but I'm starting to get eyestrain from staring at the tiny screen. Is there a parameter I can add to the .bat to make the console window use a larger font?

Alternatively: go fullscreen.
That's an option if you use WinXP or earlier. Cause in Vista and 7 for some reason you can't go fullscreen.
If you use Vista or 7: Run DoomRL, right-click the app in the taskbar, choose "Properties", go to tab "Font Type", and there you can make the font larger. Not fullscreen, but at least larger.

Absolutely true. But can I help it Vista was preinstalled on my computer? xP
But indeed I can agree if SmileyCentral wouldn't have ruined my old computer I'd have stayed with that...

Pre-installed Vista... *shudders*
