I've figured out how to make game fonts readable It was too small for me and my poor eyes.
So we had previously:
I got now:
You have to install game at VirtualBox and leave only two main game windows. Then make 125% scale:
My guide in russian
BINGO! %)
p.s.
Lightman is developing new client for TomeNet, I hope there would be feature to make possible to play such mode without VirtualBoxing

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
but you can just edit a ini file, to get larger font.
and i think there is option in client to cycle font.
under client option, hit c, and you have bigger fonts.
client option on my keyboard is under = key
With the biggest option you will not have enough space on FullHD monitor!!

I'm sorry if I'm too sharp with it, but this problem drunk so much blood from me So...
Of course I know about fonts (I using biggest 16X24X.FON) and I know about cycling font, options and TomeNET.ini file - it doesn't help because of limited windows size (look at first screenshot). So the only way to have only "game messages" and "game window" with good size - to view it via VirtualBox scaling.
Sorry, but screen which you posted - not really good example. I can do such thing myself, but its useless. You cant play without "game messages". Problem there - width of window, not height. Width of window is limited and it has only 1/2 or 2/3 of screen at my 1680x1050 resolution (look at first screenshot). Max columns is 80 (check TomeNET.ini). Thats root of evil..
p.s.
I added new screenshot to the first post so you would understand what I'm talking about.

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
i think you use windows, and on it you can increase tomenet windows size using two things apart of settings on tome.
first is magnifier tool which you can run with win and + keys
second you can inscrease dpi text setting on display panel http://images.techhive.com/images/artic ... -large.png
Both solution is less resource hungry, scale tomenet windows and text in it. I just don't understand, why anyone will download virtualbox, the iso with system, install it, to just increase font in one app
PS. I have problem with your webpage. I must use google translate as proxy. It don't work on my own pc, and my server in france

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
I tried everything, mate. It doesn't help... I already using increased font. Magnifier tool has only 50%' brackets and awful interface.
The only way to get comfort playing at current client @ 1680x1050 - is using VirtualBox with 125% scale. Thats why I made this guide
p.s.
not sure why you cant use google translate at my webpage... Do you have somekind of error?

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
at windows 10 i have 25% increacment at magnifier, don't remember what is at earlier version
and what with dpi setting? you get clearly bigger fonts and window size
google translate work fine, but i can't acces it without using some kind of proxy, i just got blank page at any browser.

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
Dpi doesn't work. At "medium" its too small, and "max" its too big.
Even if it work somehow for windows 10 (I'm at windows 7) - virtualBox is more comfortable, cause you don't need to reroll dpi setting everytime when you finish playing. Also rerolling would ruin desktop shortcuts position.

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
virtual box has some problems with avira, so I cant play TomeNet atm.. Old versions of VirtualBox doesn't have scaling and new ones doesn't work.. Waiting for patch, it would be soon.

Re: [guide] How to make game (and font) larger
VirtualBox works. You just need to wait and do not click "ok" when there would appear errors. Just wait 5 minutes while VB is loading and it would be ok
