I found the game's default font difficult to read. Here's how to change it. Updated with a much easier method!

Font Patch
Open the Highschool Possession\game folder. (You can find where Highschool Possession is installed on your computer by right-clicking the title in your Steam client. Go to Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files.)

If you're using the adult patch, install that first (since it replaces patch.rpy).

Open patch.rpy in a text editor. At the bottom, add the following lines (make sure to keep spacing and indents!):

init -1 python hide: style.default.font = "SourceSansPro-Semibold.ttf" style.default.size = 24 style.default.outlines = [(1, "#ffffff", 0, 0)]
Customization
Edit the font and/or size to whatever works for you.

To make the font smaller or larger, change the number after style.default.size =.

To change the font, place your desired font file in the game folder, then change style.default.font = "SourceSansPro-Semibold.ttf" to style.default.font = "YOUR_FONT_FILE_NAME".

For this example, I used verdana.ttf (which you can find under Control Panel -> Fonts) size 28. The result is a game with slightly larger and more readable font.

Possible Issues
Because the game wasn't designed with a different font in mind, you may have some display issues, like menu text not fitting in the GUI. For example (using Verdana, size 24):



Also, long lines of text, especially with a very large font size, may break the text box. For example (using Verdana, size 36):

Uninstallation
To change the font back to normal, simply remove the lines you added to patch.rpy.

Nice! Thumbs up from me. I wanted to change the outline as white glow on light blue text on a light background was burning my eyes out. I set it to black and it's much better. Makes it really hard to read the dialogs, but the main text is what matters. :tgrin:

Major update/fix, with an easier, more direct method instead of the stupid workaround I did before I leveled up in coding.
