I've been tinkering a little and have some information:

Good news is that I can set any font I like for console.
Bad news is that the width is hardcoded to 380 pixels, so bigger font, less characters you can type per message
Org font, 60 Characters
Arial14Bold 43 Characters

Anyway.. here are the pictures, tell me what you think:

Click on the pictures to see them larger. I like the smaller font just so it's less intensive and more characters. Question though, if someone with small font writes a long message, does it wrap or get cut off on someone that has large fonts enabled?

Might look bigger, but it aint.....

It should wrap. Messages that are sent by server can be longer, and they are wrapped.. the check is done on the client typing the message

Here's another question for you. Is it possible to disable/turn-off the console? If so, are the messages still logged in the ArmyOps.ini?

What I'm getting at, maybe you could build your own console and set a custom width and height and font size for users to choose from.

hardcode means that you can't rly Hexedit the width? :D

sure, that would be possible, I think only 2 integers would have to changed..
But when making the value something larger than 380... it would increase not only those with bigger font, nut also those with smaller.

Console messages should be in this array:

ViewportOwner.Actor.Player.Console.MsgText[]

Not to mention, the console is really big on those with small resolutions. It's not ideal IMO. I'd rather see a new console rebuilt, I'm sure ELiZ could do it.

The new beta of Antipoke will have the larger Console font if the Height resolution is higher than 800
