HOW-TO edit font size

My first HOW-TO! How to change font size in custom Football Manager 2012 skins.

Before you do anything, backup skin which you are going to edit.
I'm not responsible for any lost data -.-

In following folder you have file called "*skin name* settings.xml"

\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2012\skins\*skin name*\settings\

Open that file with Notepad++ or other editor you use, and go to line 18 where it says

<!-- text settings that vary from the defaults -->

Trom there on you have code which defines font size or style, to get bigger or small font size change the value number, for bigger font, bigger number and visa versa for smaller font.
Be aware, if you set value to big, some menu text might get cut out, and if you set value to small you might not see the menu good.

<integer id="text_size_small" value="9" />
<integer id="text_size_normal" value="11" />
<integer id="text_size_large" value="12" />

<integer id="hint_size" value="9"/>

<integer id="control_size_normal" value="9"/>

<integer id="menu_size_small" value="9"/>
<integer id="menu_size_normal" value="10"/>
<integer id="menu_size_large" value="11"/>

<integer id="title_size_large" value="16"/>
<integer id="title_size_normal" value="14"/>
<integer id="title_size_small" value="11"/>

I have this values set in skin I use, you can also download it here.

Any questions, you can find me in steam, origin, xfire, twitter, ... or you can e-mail me via contact form. In case you are to afraid you'll do somehting wrong, I am willing to help you out and edit any skin's font, as long as you provide me original link to developer's skin.

Note: In future this won't be needed to do manually in skin files anymore, but Football Manager 2012 developers will implement it in game. When this will happen, only developers know.
