    Map Font Settings

    Could we please have some expanded options for the size of fonts on the map? We currently have two options; Standard, and Large. Standard, for me, is too small to make out unless I make a good deal of effort to read it. Large is a little too big, and kind of makes it difficult to read the map when in areas with several labels.

    I propose two new options; Medium, and Medium Bolded. Split the difference in font size, and add an option for bolded font for the latter, which i think would make it MUCH easier to read for people like myself, who have bad astigmatisms.

    Current options:





    Proposed sample:

    The map could do with some improvements, but as far as the fonts go, you can set it to large and then scroll in if things are overlapping.

    Simply using the large font size doesn't fix either of the issues. The large setting is still far too clunky and requires too much real estate on the map. It's also doesn't fix the lack of bolding, which makes it difficult for people with certain vision impairments to read.

    Along with bolding, making the dark outline/shadow around the letters a bit more pronounced could help. Mostly white text on pale green, yellow, and cream background isn't a lot of contrast.

    The font color should be solid, and preferably dark colored.

    And some of the names used are awfully long.


    The fonts used here are just plain hard to see...
