What happened to v1.1 you ask? Well, it was an internal version that was extensively tested by me and my staff (an alien race I have enslaved for this purpose) , but was never released because v1.2 came along. There are a couple of significant changes in this version:
  • I'm happy to announce 1280x720 support. Now, all you LCDTV users can enjoy Torment in all it's glory with the correct aspect ratio :)


  • Secondly, I've made some changes and improvements with the bigger fonts.
    On one hand the size of the in-game floating text is now is now increasing when you install one of the bigger fonts:

    On the other hand, the 30% bigger fonts are much cleared now, and for the 50% bigger fonts I'm now using the in-game floating text fonts (instead of the BG2 fonts I was using previosuly) Ithink they look much better now.

    I'm recommending the 30% bigger fonts for widescreen users that want a bigger font. The 50% bigger fonts are better for the 1280x1024 resolution in 19'' or smaller, screens. I'm currently using the 30%fonts and reading text in my 22' monitor is much easier now.


  • As you can see, I've also changed the dialog window. Now the text is displayed in the center and the background has been revamped accordingly.
For the rest of the changes check the version thread.

Dayum, nice work on the fonts! I'll be honest, even though it was causing eye strain, the last version's bigger fonts were too messy, I didn't use 'em. These look excellent though, every bit as high quality as the original, the 30% in particular. Again, great work!

P.S. Centering dialogue = excellent. It was really annoying having to go alllll the way right for "Click For More", and alllll the way left to get back to the dialogue.
