    Cabview problem OR only

    Trouble with font size on gauges etc. eg using D9AC44BNSF cab for Dash 9 the digits are too big. No problem in MSTS.
    Is the problem with wide screen view? Am using 1920x1080 in OR. MSTS runs in a window. Any suggestions appreciated,

    In general cabview fonts are a bit bigger in OR than in MSTS. In the OR NewYear MG version I maintain (downloadable from here http://www.interazioni-educative.it/...NewYear_MG.zip ) I have tried to take into account that and reduced a bit the font size. You could give a try.

      Hello!

      You can resize them in the cab's .cvf file.

        14.1.6 Configurable Fonts
        OR supports a congurable font family, with font size selection, and a choice of regular or bold style.
        More than one font or size can be used in the same cabview. This does not affect the display in MSTS.
        An optional line of the form ORTSfont ( fontsize fontstyle "fontfamily" ) must be inserted into
        the .cvf block of the digital control or digital clock, where fontsize is a float (default value 10), fontstyle
        an integer having the value 0 (default) for regular and 1 for bold, and fontfamily is a string with the font
        family name (ex. “Times New Roman”). The default is “Courier New”. A convenient font, if available, is
        “Quartz MS” or “Quartz”, which models a 7-segment display.
        Here is an example that displays the digital clock with a 12 pt. bold font using the Sans Serif font family:
        DigitalClock (
        Type ( CLOCK DIGITAL_CLOCK )
        Position ( 40 350 56 11 )
        Style ( 12HOUR )
        Accuracy ( 1 )
        ControlColour ( 255 255 255 )
        ORTSFont ( 12 1 "Sans Serif" )
        )
        It is acceptable if only the first parameter of ORTSFont is present, or only the first two, or all three. Note
        that you cannot use the MS Cabview editor on the .cvf file after having inserted these optional lines,
        because the editor will delete these added lines when the file is saved.
        Currently I'm using ORTSfont ( 9 1 "Digital-7 Mono" ), do a search for digital fonts, there are quite a few to choose from.
