Changing In-game Font For Steam
I've found out how to change the in-game font for steam, mine was too large and I run at 1600x1200.
in \Program Files\Steam\skins\<SKIN YOU USE>\Resource\TrackerScheme.res
file holds all the font information for your in-game stuff as well as steam stuff.
from what I see the following is what can be changed to change the in-game fonts and their sizes etc (these settings are modified from the default and this is what I use):
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->
"EngineFont"
{
"1"
{
"name" "Arial"
"tall" "12"
"weight" "0"
"yres" "480 599"
"dropshadow" "1"
}
"2"
{
"name" "Arial"
"tall" "13"

"yres" "600 767"
