Font enlargement patch for Divine Divinity V 2.0 by Losti @ http://www.larian.com/forums/

How does it works:

1. Download the "patch": Larger font "Patch" DD for V 2.00

2. extract files from DD_V2.0_font_enlargement_patch.zip to ..\Divine Divinity\Run\fonts\ for the disk version of the game, or ..\Divine Divinity\fonts\ for the download versions
3. go to the 'fonts' subfolder
4. run DD_font_enlargement_patch.bat
NOTE: It is necessary to run DD_font_enlargement_patch.bat directly from the 'fonts' folder

5. Now you can choose APPLY or UNDO this patch for three font categories
1. "general fonts" --> all fonts except books and dialogs
2. "book fonts" --> fonts for books, manuscripts
2. "dialog fonts" --> fonts for the dialog window

I didn't have a problem with the font size in DD, since I couldn't really play in higher than supported resolutions. Very rarely the game would randomly crash opening the auto map at higher resolutions, and it was infrequent enough that I would forget to either save first or avoid using the map.

Isn't working for me - am using the GoG version.

Installed to \Fonts instead of \Run\Fonts and it works now. Thank you very much

This doesn't work for me. I have the GoG version. I'm thinking it might be a Windows 7 issue since I had the same version of DD w/ font enlargement working fine on a Windows XP machine. Any ideas?

Thanks

Very nice work, thank you! Downloaded.

Thank you for this modification, but I have a question: I find the fonts used in books and scrolls to be very hard to read. Is it possible to change it to something easier for the eyes? Like a simple Times New Roman font or similar? Or is there perhaps a way to convert a .ttf file to .fnt? Thanks in advance

I looked for freeware font editors or converters a couple times, but unfortunately didn't find anything suitable for the font files that the game uses.

sorry for bumping an old thread but thank you guys for making this wonderful patch, they should bundle this with the digital versions. I think this thread deserves a sticky

Thank you so much,my eyes are happy now thanks to you

Greetings everyone!

For those who play Divine Divinity on Linux and would like to apply the patch for larger fonts,
I recreated the original .bat script in bash, so you can run it in a terminal.

Here's the script itself on Github with instructions:

https://github.com/mikeshp/divine-divinity-larger-fonts-patch-linux

Here's how to use it:

• Download the patch archive from the original post above
• Unzip the patch archive in your game's /fonts directory
  for me it's ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/divine_divinity/fonts/ but may vary for you
• Download the DD_font_patch_Linux.sh script from Github into the same directory
  if you can't figure how to download from Github, then inside the very same directory create an empty file and name it DD_font_patch_Linux.sh
  then open the script on Github, select the code as it is and copy
  then open the newly created file with whatever text editor and paste the code, save and close
• Open a terminal inside the very same directory
  you can either find an option under Right-Mouse-Click menu, or just open terminal and enter the command:
  
  Code

  cd ~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/divine_divinity/fonts/

  just don't forget to edit your directory accordingly
• Make the script executable by running the command:
  
  Code

  chmod +x DD_font_patch_Linux.sh

• Execute the script by running the command:
  
  Code

  ./DD_font_patch_Linux.sh

• The rest will be prompted in your terminal window.

Enjoy your game, have fun!
