I wanted to say thank you to the Open Rails team for the first cut at dpi scaling to allow text and messages to scale to view on a retina screen that has more dots per inch. It's not perfect - the lettering overlaps and runs into each other a bit, but it's already 1000% better than before.

Attached is a screenshot of what I'm seeing on my 15 inch laptop:'

Rats, I suppose we'll need higher res' textures. I'm not too impressed with ordinary LCD/LED monitors.

Cheers Bazza.

Yeah, we've only added support to the fonts - but at least the on-screen messages and HUD should be good now. Scaling up the windows shouldn't actually be that hard, although it's true that the sharp lines will go blurry - but given the resolution, it won't be as noticeable as if you stretched it up on a normal DPI monitor.
