Idk if this is the correct section to post this but since I've seen so many people asking this in many places and some others using mods that change more things that just that I decided to post it here, maybe someone will find it useful.

In order to make the size of the chat bigger all we need to do iso go to Neverwinter Nights 2\UI\default and open fontfamily.xml file and in "inside" <UIFontFamily name="Default" > change the pointsize value (18 works for me for example).

No more forcing your eyes to read the text if you play with high resolution!

Yiel, are you sure that works on our server? I ask because the file you refer to exists in one of our HAKs.

It works. IIRC there is a font family setting for chat/general text and one for the titles/gui headings.

However, if you set your chat fonts too big, you will not have subtitles on many of the pc tools, as it can't cope with the increased text size (you know ... the thing that does closeness, animations, etc). Just fyi.

Works for me. I had to set Normal, Italic, Bold and Bolditalic to the same size in order to make it work.

Notpad works great when editing.

Thanks for the help with this.
