Maybe this is why I find the Gargoyle presets too small - perhaps I have an above-average column preference.Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762964244520399960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6179323289909738699.post-86470453793622812442011-06-11T06:06:01.336-07:002011-06-11T06:06:01.336-07:00You're both right; 1200 is way too long to rea...You're both right; 1200 is way too long to read, but there is a map/inventory window on the right. It's proportionate, and about 35% of the screen width at the moment. So 800 px is only about 500 px of reading area - about where I find is usable. My sweet spot is about 1000-1200 - by 1400 px, it starts getting uncomfortable, and 1800 is pretty much unplayable for me.

With any luck, that will alleviate the problem. FYI, depending on the font used, graphic designers would generally peg the ideal number of characters per line for long-form text at between 65 or so and 80.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6179323289909738699.post-89998540326126461312011-06-10T01:25:36.214-07:002011-06-10T01:25:36.214-07:00Will the text width be constrained somehow to less...Will the text width be constrained somehow to less than the full width of the window?<br /><br />From your captions, I take it that you assume people will play with a window width of about 1200 pixels. That would be fine for me (my monitor has many more), except that I hate reading text that is 1200 pixels wide: far too long lines. I generaly resize IF to about 800 pixels, or something like that.Victor Gijsbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770054233775973753noreply@blogger.com
