Here is just the thing to give you the edge. Now you can run at those desired higher resolutiions and still read whats up in the game.
Just download this "font.wad" and stick it in your Valve folder. Back up your existing one first!.
Wham there you go easy reading!


LARGER FONTS HERE

Thanks to Thomas Gross who did this and to Sierra for answering a email request and passing this one on to us.

Thanks, Roof... I like running higher res, but had to revert back because I could not see the chat... This will certainly help!

Nice now those of who can run at super high resolutions can see the text just as well as those who run at lower resolutions.

I've been using it for some time now and it's great. Then I started playing DOD and couldn't figure out why I couldn't read a damn thing being said. I added the larger font and everything is peachy again. Life is good

hmm that's odd because text won't show up at all for me ... I can see things such as the people being killed and what i type in the top left corner, but i can never see chat that is in the bottom left corner. i have to look in the console to see what anyone said.... anyone know what is wrong?

Aside from this thread being a year old set your skins to default and the text should be fine.
