Is it possible to change the font size of the game info text displayed on the video screensaver?

I know I can change the display frequency (never, always, start & end), but I'd really like to reduce the size a bit if that's possible, and that's not configurable through the front end.

@sinibomb Since this is a video screensaver, the font is part of the video, so it's not possible to change its settings, you need to get another video methinks. What video are you referring to ?

@mitu Video's are just my scrapes for all of the games installed - video screen saver cycles through them at random.

Under UI settings>Screensaver settings>Video screensaver settings>Show game info on screensaver there are 3 options - always, start & end, never.

If never is selected, no text is displayed, so they're not hard coded to the videos

Well I managed to do it - bit of a heath robinson solution...

From this thread (similar question)

I grabbed the Thin Pixel 7 font from here: https://onextrapixel.com/25-free-pixel-perfect-fonts-for-8-bit-designs/

Renamed the font file as FreeSans.ttf and FreeSansOblique.ttf (these are the two fonts that are used for the video subtitles on the screensaver), and then dropped them into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont, overwriting the existing font files.
