Sorry eddieballgame, i had to remove your post face-sad.png

Reason is that the Arial Font in your attachement is a proprietary Font. We do not have the permission to serve this font.

For completeness here is the quote of you post:

For bolder/more readable text, try this;

BACKUP original 'fonts.lua'

ArialBlack: data/i18n/ - replace 'fonts.lua' with new 'FONTS.lua'

& place or copy ArialBlack folder into fonts folder

per the DejaVu-Bold folder, just place or copy the 'FONTS.lua' file in the data/i18n folder

CAPS are ok, to show a new 'fonts.lua' file

Of course, other new fonts can be added/used as well, these just help to see the text better...for me.

Understood & sorry about that. I will remove the Arial Black font & only submit the 'FONTS.lua' file using the in-game fonts.

BACKUP original 'fonts.lua'

Bolder Text for reading purposes.

Swap out the original 'fonts.lua' with the 'FONTS.lua' file in the data/i18n folder.

CAPS are ok, to show the new 'fonts.lua' file has been edited.

I haven't tried your FONTS.lua, only compared it to the original. Based on that, I think you should create a theme add-on for your changes instead of replacing "internal" data files. BTW why don't you want to use bold italic?

The bolder fonts work great with the UI Scaling add on, I found here. imho I will look into creating an add on for this, but it is only replacing 1 '.lua' file, so seems trivial; & per why don't I use 'bold italic' (which anyone can do by mimicking/changing the 'Fonts.lua' I uploaded...in short, I don't like them. face-smile.png
