Increase Font size

[DanRStevens]

A common complaint for users, especially with 4k monitors, is the font sizes are too small.

At this point, we should probably be designing for an audience that likely has 4k monitors. There might be a few stuck at 1080p, perhaps for lower end laptops, so maybe not forget about that end, but I think the target should be 4k.

Currently the font sizes are hardcoded in appOPHD/Constants/UiConstants.h:

inline constexpr int FontPrimaryNormal{10};
inline constexpr int FontPrimaryMedium{14};
inline constexpr int FontPrimaryLarge{16};
inline constexpr int FontPrimaryHuge{20};

Maybe we should start by adjusting these constants, even if we don't have in-game resize capability yet.

• Issue Implement Layout Containers #896

Many UI elements will need to be resized for larger fonts. That would be easier with layout containers that could automatically position and size controls.

Tried bumping the font sizes by 2 points each to see how things looked. Mostly they looked pretty good. There were a few graphical glitches though.

The "Underground" text overflows the button:

The "Space Available" button is close to the bounds. Doesn't look very centered either. I suppose none of the buttons are quite centered:

The "Tapped Out" button looks a bit close to the margins:

The "Common Minerals Ore" text overlaps with the progress bar:

The Mine Facility Operations view overflows the window to the right:

The Storage Tanks view overflows the window:

The Smelter and SEED Smelter view overflows the window:

The Residential Facility view overflows the window:

The "Cancel" button on the Factory view doesn't have sufficient margin:

The Tile Inspector window looks cramped:

Bumping font sizes up by 4 points, there are a few more glitches:

Load game screen text starts to overflow buttons:

Factory report shows item name and progress bar too close together:

Mine report starts to overflow the window, and progress bar text has an odd bottom alignment:

Mine report has a rather cramped table at the bottom right:

Factory production view overflows the window to the right, and button text starts to overflow buttons:

Nav control text starts to overlap buttons:

We've bumped all the standard fonts by 2 points each.

An increase of 4 points still produces graphics glitches. Perhaps it's time for a progress update.

The Mine Operations window still has overlapping and overflowing text:

The MineReport screen had overlap and overflow for the "Trucks & Routing" section at the bottom right. A mine with routes needs to be selected to see this:

On the FactoryReport screen the "Underground" text overflows the button:

On the WarehouseReport screen, the "Space Available" text overflows the button:

Those seems to be the only outright glitches left. There are additionally a few places where button text is getting very close to button size, and we may want to consider increasing button sizes further.
