While the courier message is displayed, none of the toolbar buttons function, not even moving the camera works.
True for me too.
Hey, can you still use the three buttons on the courier message?
Yes

Hey, did you notice that I added in all of the fonts that I tried out, two of them have the word Quill in their names.

Open up thegamefonts file - doing it that way, we can test them, move them to the bottom of the file, and test another one.

Changing fonts to one of the listed ones is just a simple Copy and Paste.

LDScript3 is the best followed by Cow IMHO.

It appears that only the lighter fonts work with this mod.

Hey, did the picture quality degrade on your end?

It's probably going to take me a dozen times in order to get this right.

Photoshop - is sort of like a different language, and I’m not that familiar with it.

Doesn't appear to.

born2see – I made six more copies of the file from the original letter, 768x2, 736x2, 672x2.

I think I messed up the first batch by taking off to much detail, so I didn't do the same thing this time.

Now, all I have to do would be to place one of each into a separate mod, and use to backup for each to adjust the coordinates. This way I don’t have to worry about amending the file each time it is opened due to the blending \ bleeding of the colors’.

Now, if the 672x672 on a 1024x1024 doesn’t work for you, then it can only be the width of the file that throwing things off. Hopefully, this one will work.

Should have them up sometime tomorrow night.

Your last screen shot looks excellent Davinci. Definitely let me know when it's ready for download and I'll post it in the Released Mods thread.

I should have three different versions some time tonight, with different resolutions - so that should work with just about everyone.

Thanks,
