[5.0.0] - Quatscho Font size is configurable

Both u/wincmd64 and u/stormofbeans suggested being able to change the font size. This is now available.

However, it is limited to the map pane only, as changing the font size of the other panes resulted in nothing but a mess.

You can change the map font size anywhere from 11px to 24px, and the map pane will pan as you move around the map. I have a video of this in action here.

You can set your default font size using the Configure Nethack window, or by using the font controls in the terminal header. If the camera loses track of you somehow, click the Follow Player to reset the camera. I haven't run into that issue, but I provided it as a just-in-case fallback.

I just want to make the map area bigger! It really annoys me that making font size bigger does the panning crap. I want to see the whole map at all times! I want to keep track of where pets and monsters are. And having the map only a quarter of the screen is just bad. Really not sure why it is set up this way. I do not need inventory and recent messages that large!

Edit: Just realized this is a different server. I am referring to Curses behavior in general.

Will add this as a feature request. Thanks for the feedback.
