I haven't seen such entry anywhere! Where is this located?

menu.cfg from the config folder, second to last XML element, fifth XML attribute.

I must have been blind! Smile Thanks.

It's still odd that I get 30-32-pixel height of in-game font even though there's no such values in .cfg files. I'll leave it at that for the time being. Those will lower-resolution displays will have to crack this one on their own.

In the latest version I only edited the resultant DDS file to lower contrast by 20% to make the font readable on black in-game background. Simply put - I've made the font light-grey instead of white. It's available for anyone to try.

Amnesia TDD journal font mod
Forum topic: http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-20437

Created based on Bridgnorth font by Paul Lloyd © 2002
http://fonts.simplythebest.net/fonts/Bridgnorth.html

Nothing special. Created for my own personal use. Just sharing. The font is too big for your taste? Please refer to the forum topic. I couldn't make the font smaller.

Installation:
1. Back up 3 game_journal* files in the .../Amnesia/fonts/eng/
2. Copy the attached game_journal* files (2 files) to .../Amnesia/fonts/eng/

There. No more 90's font.

The official page for the mod is the MODDB page! Click here to download the mod, see screenshots, descriptions, latest updates and resources.

EDIT:
The problem was I was looking at the section you see at my mod preview shot, not inside notes, while testing cfg values. The notes contents do change, however unpredictably.

My recent test results:
menu.cfg NoteFontSize // in-game font size:
10 // 16
16 // 24
20 // ~30

Original is 20.

The funny thing is it seems to follow a y=4/3*x+8/3 pattern which is weird to me.

Can you make this fonts with cyrillic support?

I'm not the author of the font. I just imported it to amnesia. But please do let me know if you find a font with cyrillic support that would look good in Amnesia. I may look into it.
