Cut off subtitles.

[Charlie99993]

Forgive me if this has been asked already numerous times, but sometimes subtitles and responses are cut off (made the quote game a hassle, I'll tell you.) Also one of the posts I read said asking a question to this same predicament, so I'll say in advance that am not using a wide screen monitor.

Can't remember if I added it for 1.0.2 or if it'll be in the next patch, but try typing

toggleconvofonts

in the console (well, at the talk prompt...you know what I mean).

Unrecognized Command, it seems.

I think one of the in-game loading tips is to play in windowed mode if subtitles are cut off.

There will be a couple of different ways to circumvent this in the next patch. Until then I think your best bet is to revert to the old GUI (check the manual) or play in windowed mode.

Fullscreen TNM, 1280x800 is using too large a font for cut scene subtitles, and as a result is the subtitles are being cut off about half-way down on the second line of text on my notebook.
Windowed mode TNM, 1024x768, is using the same small font for the cut scenes as fullscreen normal DX and DX HDTP on my notebook.

I have applied the DesiredFOV tweaks, and the Console= one as well to TNM.
Made no difference at all to the size of font TNM uses for subtitles in cut scenes in fullscreen.

Now the weird thing is, my laptop runs in 1280x800, and TNM looks fine in fullscreen on it.

So what the hell?

I wish I could figure it, Jonas.
Checked the forums for any ideas on fixing things and applied them as written before posting. Tested the suggested fixes singularly and in combo. Made utterly no difference at all to how the subtitles were showing in my install of TNM.
Here's the pics.

I know it's an ugly solution, but have you tried playing in a smaller resolution? I play in 1024xw/e it is, and I don't have any problems. That said, I do have an older system.....

The only windowed mode resolutions that would fit fully on my screen are 640x480 and 800x600. Running TNM in 1024x768 windowed mode, the top of the window is pushed up off the screen due to my use of a 2 line Windows taskbar.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I play in fullscreen.....

Tried that.
Whilst it fixes the fonts, it also causes distortion of the image as my notebook automatically stretches it from 1024x768 fullscreen to fit the native res 1280x800 fullscreen.

Another piece of weirdness I find is that pressing the Windows button to bring up the Start Menu and leaving TNM, causes TNM to use the small font for the first line of subtitling immediately when I return to the cut scene, only if there is subtitling on screen when I return to TNM.

Pic 2 has the same subtitle text as an earlier pic with that text split over 2 lines and the bottom line cut off.
