I play at 640x480 because I really can't afford dropping frames during the heat of combat... but look at the font when you select a server... So ridiculous.

Also, there are no plans to fix this AFAIK, (i've asked multiple times) as it would be just too much work supposedly.
There are text wrapping issues with 4:3 aspect ratios (Mostly old CRT monitors use this ratio)
I think if you compared between 640 x 480 resolution and say something that doesn't have issues of text wrapping like 1280 x 720, you'd find there was a negligible FPS difference if you are using low settings (looks like you are) and your computer wasn't dealing with already very low fps like 30 (which you look like you aren't)
Did you use the mod and edit the files at the same time? If so check to see if one of the methods is the the problem. Maybe it will pass one I dunno..
I was told by samus that the font files are not consistency checked so editing those shouldn't have been a problem. Are you sure consistency checks are stopping you from doing that?

Yes I am only saving the font file (*.fnt), and just the agent small font. Looks great.
But when I load into a server, it fails consistency. When I replace the modified one with the big ugly one, consistency passes.

Don't just replace the files ...
Open the launchpad.exe, create a new Mod (name it whatever you like), copy all modded files with correct folder structure into output like you would do it into the ns2/core folder.
Test it via launch game.
To be able to use it yourself normally you have to publish your mod to workshop via publish, then subscribe to it and hf.
the folder the file is contained in is SteamApps\common\Natural Selection 2\core\fonts
But when I create a new mod in launchpad it only provides a \source directory... nothing resembles that in the "SteamApps\common\Natural Selection 2" directory. How to do this?

You would have to create a fronts folder in \output and place all modded front files into that. But nvm just use the mod of samusdroid, he allready did all this for you and other ppl with low resolutions.

Theres also this : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=150114686
but idk if it works for the server browser
Wow. that was amazing!
Edit: Ugh, won't let me play. The single modified font means "Your game cache files do not match the servers"
Had to go back to the horrible nonscaling fonts.

Ah, samusdroid mod works great! Thanks.
