Is there a way to change the type of a font but making it bigger? For example, MS Mincho at 9 pt. looks like this: I tried the following:

Is there a way to change the type of a font but making it bigger?

For example, MS Mincho at 9 pt. looks like this:



I tried the following:

Font.default_name = ["MS Mincho"]Font.default_size = 9I'm aware that the size does not work like that, but what should i do?

This makes the text in-game extremely small and impossible to read.



As an example of what I'm looking for, here's a screenshot from a popular RPG Maker horror game called "Ib" (this was made in RPG Maker 2000 and I'm trying to replicate this font in VX Ace.)



This is a 9 pt. MS Mincho font, but the text is easily visible.

How is this done? Do I need to download a version of MS Mincho that is specifically 9 pt, and the Size in the scripts does not matter?

Or did that work in "Ib" because RPG Maker 2000 is a much lower resoluton?

Let me know if you can find a way to make MS Mincho look like that^

NOTE: I found the following from a different user:

This contains the RPG Maker 2000 Fonts for MS Gothic and MS Mincho.

Problem is, they are .fon format and not .ttf so I can not use them in VX Ace
