Larger Font on F5 Screen

I can't read the numbers on my F5 screen. The lettering is too small. Does anyone know how to make the font larger? This goes for the Activity Editor too. I can't read train cars serial numbers and track labels, makes it almost impossible to create scenarios.

If anyone knows how to make these numbers larger, please reply. I'm about to go blind.

Thanks

Alex

Less screen resolution, bigger monitor, glasses? Sorry, I know that's not what you're looking for but I couldn't find any hacks.

I'd drop the screen resolution a notch.

Thanks... Guess what? I tried all three!

Bigger monitor (24") makes everything else larger but the fonts still stay tiny. Drop screen resolution changes the size of the Train Simulator 2016 window, and makes scenery look larger, but the fonts... no change.

I got new glasses last December. They help, but I still need to hold up a magnifying glass to the screen to read.

You can look into the Railworks\data\font folder and play around with the files in there. Make a backup first!

It seems the .otf fonts are used in the menu screens.
