[SOLVED] Very, very, very small font for 4k resolution

#1 Post by span4ev »

Is there anything I can do about it, or did Renpy not take this into account?
The font is incredibly small, and you have to put your face against the monitor and squint to read the exception...

I would assume that the problem is with my Full HD monitor and 4k resolution, but that doesn't explain why "Parsing the script failed" is the normal size.

The problem is not just 4k resolution. My second monitor is broken, so I use one monitor for the Renpy window and the text editor. The Renpy window takes up a quarter of the screen, so it's always hard for me to see the exceptions.
Maybe Renpy has a font size setting for exceptions

If you need it too, go here (in the folder where you have Renpy installed) and change this line by adding a font size, like this (or as a variable)

RenPy\renpy\common\_errorhandling.rpym

Code: Select all

screen _parse_errors:
	text fmt_errors substitute False

	text fmt_errors        size 50       substitute False

The exception screen can be found in _common of where you installed renpy.

Or press Shift+E I believe, with your game sitting at the exception screen.

I copy the output and paste it into a text editor myself, such as notepad
