      I'm curious if there would be interest in creating some configuration options for fonts and sizes in Frotz.

      I have found that it is pretty simple to install something like fbterm, and then launch Frotz inside fbterm. Then, Frotz can be displayed in any arbitrary size using any standard fonts.

        You can use the onstart/onend support in Runcommand to change/restore the font in the terminal for frotz (using setfont). There's also the option to change fonts globally - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#how-can-i-increase-the-console-font-size.

          @mitu Yup.

          I have taken this a step further: fbterm allows using any TrueType fonts.
