Xiskio's Font Mod for Sins of a Solar Empire

Xiskio's Font Mod v0.8 beta

This mod version was tested with SoaSE v1.05.

Because the original fonts are sometimes hard to read, especially when you use higher resolutions, I replaced them with the "Segoe UI" font making the fonts in the game much easier to read and friendlier for the eyes.

IMPORTANT:
To make this mod work you have to have the "Segoe UI" font installed into your Windows font folder.
The font is by default installed with Windows Vista. The font does not come with this mod because it is a copyrighted one from Microsoft. To get it legally just download and install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack from the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941B3470-3AE9-4AEE-8F43-C6BB74CD1466&displaylang=en
Link
The font will than be automatically installed.

INSTALL:
Unzip the content of this archive to the "Mods" folder of SoaSE.
This folder is normally found under:
C:\Documents and Settings\(your user name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\
After that open up SoaSE and activate the Mod.

If you find any dialogs where the font is not fitting, it would be great if you could post a screenshot to help me improve the mod.

Have Fun
Xiskio

P.S. Keep in mind that this mod ist still in beta stage. This is just because there might still be dialogues where the text is not fitting perfectly when using the new font.
