Better Fonts

Description
This mod changes most fonts in the game:

Georgia (used almost everywhere in UI) is now Cambria.
GiovanniITCTT (used in menus but you probably just saw Arial instead unless you've installed it into your system) is now Cambria too.
Arial (used for chat messages and in some other places) is now Segoe UI.

I also added aliasing for fonts that lacked it and switched all bold fonts to regular ones.

Back when original game was created it might have been a good idea to use big bold fonts like Georgia everywhere. However now it doesn't look good on high DPI screens, especially all those numbers you see in the game. Cambria looks much better as far as I can see.

Note that the game uses system fonts so you must have those fonts installed, otherwise you'll see generic Arial fonts. Fonts I've used come packaged with Windows 7 and later so you probably have them.

You don't need expansions for this to work, should work for all patches and European languages.

Glad people like it! Bold fonts are fine too for those who like them.

Thank you for this great mod. I used some python code to change all Bold = "false" into Bold = "true" and I like it even move

Тут зато шрифты как пасхалки работают. Если у тебя в системе ВДРУГ установлен шрифт giovanniitctt то ты видишь его вместо Arial во всех менюшках игры.

Но он ни у кого не установлен.

meanwhile в нормальных играх (e.g. West of loathing) шрифт можно поменять на arial прямо в настройках!
