    Hello there,
    I decided I would use a custom font (GB font actually), but when I set it up, I noticed that the font size is way too big
    I've been adding the tags <fs=18>...</fs> to make it nicely sized, but there are some places where that can't be done (like choice options and others)

    Is there anyway I can change the size of the font everywhere from the script?

    Thanks
     
    Check out def pbSetSystemFont and the two related methods below it.

    Note that there are a couple (only a couple) of places which set their own font sizes: Pokémon markings (which use the Arial font) and some things in the Voltorb Flip minigame. Care about them or not.
     
    Is that under PokemonOptions Script?

    I don't really understand what could I change there to make all font sizes 18, could you give a little help?

    (Sorry for the trouble :\ )

    EDIT: I finally found where to change that
    But now I have a different (but related) problem:

    In some windows the spacement between lines is too big, showing misplaced lines of text (such as in the Controls Window (Screenshot:puu.sh/6x4mv) ) and in some moves descriptions, the text is too big to fit on the space, and the text gets cut (puu.sh/6x4uH)

    Where can I change the space between lines of text?
    (and sorry for the weird links, it didn't let me post because I have less than 15 posts... (but registered almost 5 years ago.. hehe...)

    And Thanks ;)
     
    Yes, line spacing is 32 pixels and is separate to font size. I don't particularly know where it's defined, but changing it would likely upset a lot of displays and require lots of fixing. It's something you'll have to deal with if you want to use a font that's much wider than what Essentials was designed to use.
     
    Ok, Thanks for the information, I'll try to edit the font to see if I can make it shorter
     
    <fs=3>text here</fs>

    The "text here" will be at the size of "3", and you can type your text between the <fs=any> and </fs>

    Make sure that it is this slash: /

    Not the one for identifying the player name: "\"PN

    Plus, you can look at the wiki or talk to the lappet town NPCs for more text configurations.

    bai :D

    That's nice enough if you want to change part of a dialogue's font size, but Fran was asking about all the text everywhere. In that sense, your reply is useless. I've already provided the answer.
