Fonts are too detailed / pixelated

[Jannik Vogel]

The game looks bad when trying to display the fonts at smaller resolutions. The edges become very pixelated.

We should consider reducing our resolution to increase font-smoothing.
We should also review the games texture interpolation states for fonts.

Also, the font texture format should be changed from A4 to A8.

We should consider reducing our resolution to increase font-smoothing.

I suppose it makes sense to provide two versions of the fonts. The current resolution works very well in 1440p (and probably 4K too). It'd be a shame to have to use the blurry fonts in those resolutions 🙂

We could have two folders, one named textures (the default, with halved resolution) and textures_ultra. People could rename textures to something else and rename textures_ultra to textures to use the ultra-quality fonts.

I'd rather have folders named like "textures-0", "textures-1", ... or something to imply the base mipmap level (possibly also just have this as part of the individual filenames).

However, swe1r-patcher is currently not a priority for me, so I won't be working on any of this.
