Is there a way to squeeze the font tighter? I tried using Win7 fonts but no joy yet.:( I'm trying to save space on screen.:)

I'd like to modify the chat font as well, but am currently at a loss as to how exactly to accomplish that.

I perused the mod kit read me, but if it;s in there I'm overlooking it.

" format for the new font data file:

Font Type (character set, 1 = default)
Font Position Offset X (below 0 moves to the left, above 0 moves to the right)
Font Position Offset Y (below 0 moves up, above 0 moves down)
Font Size (display/HUD text) "
