[WIP] Alt. Font for RadioMessages

Default game font for displayed - reading messages is ok and all, but kinda on the huge side. I think it was designed to mimic a radiomans pencil writing.
Onto business; I thought they might look better if the font more or less matched the background. Found a way to get that partly done. Some changes just don't seem to take, and I've yet to try altering the color. Kind of like the blue-faded affect in the background. But here is what I have so far.

[first set of images deleted - see next post]

Opinions welcome.

By the way, this will not be combined with RL_E Update, but as a seprate release. As some may not want the change etc.

Edit Wanted to thank GlobalExplorer for the inspiration.
I was thinking such a mod would involve passing along an ini-config edit which would risk conflict with other mods. The way I am doing this makes no change to the menu_.

Got to narrowed down - 2 options (fonts).

First up:
This one more or less matches the Newstype font.




Second choice;


Slightly larger font, more on the arial side imo. Still looks good (better on screen - in game).
I am thinking if there is any interest in this a release to include both options.
Btw; using in-game fonts available, there isn't exactly alot to choose from. This way the mod will not edit the menu_ini and should be compatable with any version of the game.

I like the first one - it is pretty old fashioned looking.
