I can certainly help with this, and document the scaling logic at the same time.

Certainly don't drop the font, I think it fits rather well.

First issue should be simple, the next issue will take a longer post:

Have you tried adjusting (underneath theme)

columns_mobile = ???

(higher number is smaller font, lower number is bigger font).

That's the simple way of scaling text on mobile (which has a high DPI screen). Desktop text scaling is more complex, because non integer scaling is not supported by default in adventuron, and if it were, the bitmap fonts would look a blurry mess (believe me, I tried).

There are ways around this, and I'll follow this up, but please try the above setting first, if it's not working, then something is definitely wrong.

Can you recommend an appropriate value before I set down the long road of trial and error?

I think the 8x8 font is a problem. It's too wide even on a desktop. If I was to design my own font, what would you recommend for character width and height?

Delta 10 is more like 7 (x() x10 (y) as it's a proportional font and I added 2 pixels of vertical height to it to make it look better on modern displays.

As far as the mobile columns value, start with 36 and work your way down. I recommend taking a screenshot of the current screen so you can remember the current text density when making a comparison for how it looks.

I sent you an email with how to resolve the desktop scaling.

Everyone else, once this is resolved, I'll update the documentation on scaling so the information is not lost.
