GUI Settings
scaling factor
- Type:
floating point
- Range:
0.5 to 8.0
- Default:
1.0
This setting scales GUI windows. A value of 1.0 results in the normal scale. Larger values are useful to increase the scale of the GUI for high resolution displays.

font size
- Type:
integer
- Range:
12 to 18
- Default:
16
Allows to specify glyph size for in-game fonts. Note: default bitmap fonts are supposed to work with 16px size, otherwise glyphs will be blurry. TrueType fonts do not have this issue.

floating point
- Range:
>= 0.0
