Brief overview of PR changes/additions

Increase default font size to a more pleasant one, the default one seems a bit dated and not super comfortable 10 years on now.

Motivation for adding to Mudlet

Better first time player experience.

Other info (issues closed, discussion etc)

No screenshots because it's better to try creating a profile and seeing how it feels :)

Though it might be a bit huge if you don't have a HiDPI display.

I don't have one, and it looks rather pleasant tbh!

I posted a comment on Discord. It looks good on my 1920x1080 laptop display. I usually default to 12-14 to get the most readable text on the game screen.

It looks absolutely enormous on my monitor, which is 1440x900 on a 16 inch wide screen. Bluntly put, it looks awful and I don't like it. Maybe me and my tiny resolution is in the minority, though.

@ssharpjr so 14 would be ok?

@Eraene what's the biggest size? Or are you just comfortable with small text all in all?

The idea is that - as you might notice - text rendering starts to be a lot better once you scale it up a bit.

Thanks for the feedback on this!

I feel like 14 may be a bit better than 16, given most UIs shrink the space for the main console by about half or so.

OK, I hear what you guys are saying, adjusted to 14. Thoughts on that?

Yes, 14 would be better than 16 in my opinion.
