Good news, everyone!
Version 1.0 is now available under the Silent Hunter 4 menu in the mods section. No need to go anywhere in the rest of the tree for it.
As with the Patrol Area Maps mod, if there's a better place for this please let me know. Or if the admins think it would be quicker to move it themselves, by all means you have my permission to move it to a more appropriate slot.
Again, my thanks for the help on this -- especially Jimimadrid for his permissions and help with the initial work way back when it began.
As an "homage" to the sub manager he made, you can use the "ini" files in the package to use -- or not use -- the changes to the fonts I've made. That way you can enjoy all the other stuff without having to overwrite your entire menu_1024_768.ini file.
Instructions included with the files.
Enjoy and let me know how it works out with your set-ups!
