Text Box - Chat Font Size

All my normal text boxes have a higher chat font size to make text more readable for a 4k screen.

However when I get a tell in a separate Tell Window I always have to manually increase the text size for readability.

Is there a file that can be changed/edited to make this font size increase permanent on a new Tell Window?

have you tried /fontsize or was it just /font 1-5?

This came up before - there's a workaround at the bottom of this thread:

But yeah I can confirm there's no way to default all of your new tell windows to chatfontsize 6, even on live they still haven't added this functionality, although it is possible to kind of brute force it predictively, by pasting this line into your ui ini multiple times for that character, where X is replaced by each chat window number. So if you think you'll need 20, do it 20 times. etc

ChatWindowX_FontStyle=6

I performed this as stated and it didn't have the desired effect on my end. No effect as far as I could tell. Not sure what the issue is. The solution seems to affect new Chat Windows for me but not Tell Windows unfortunately.

Thank you for the suggestion as the description of the problem is identical to mine.

Ah dang - I don't use tell windows (all my chat is one window so the /fontsize sticks) so I didn't try the change on my end. Sorry to disappoint, but hopefully you're at least on the right track.

I'm interested as well. Also, with the 4K Screen and the larger UI mod, even with /chatfontsize 6, the text for amounts of items is crazy small. I can't tell how many of a thing is in a stack. any help with this?

You have the scaling settings adjusted?

Yes, even with Scaling set to 300% it still looks like this

look at the number of bandages in the bottom right. I can barely see that.

One workaround for you could be to use superscaling , for AMD its Called FidelityFX Super Resolution or FSR, Nvidia has it as well .

It simply makes your game run on a much lower resolution but scaled to your monitor, thus saving you from the headaches of different uis or too small fonts.
