I had the same problem, also changing the fonts in other areas (other than the overworldmap) did nothing either. Just remained the default.

[this change](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/23419/commits/2345b3b5d4c6d797b919724fadafd392737534c4) make fontsize smaller than heights always?

I don’t need decorative italic font, but making fonts dense is necessary for me.  
I want I could choice between italic and flexible font configure in option…

They made a change to font or something in an update, I was able to change mine, but the font size numbers had to be much larger than before. Not sure about the map sizing… I thought mine changed, but I ended up getting the in game close to what I had it at before and have just been going with it.  
I made a thread about it almost a month ago, but not sure if it has any new info for you.

> Sometimes when I update through the launcher, the “cdda-launcher.exe” is not in my “CDDA launcher” folder anymore, but it is usually in the “previous version” sub-folder within the “CDDA launcher” folder. I usually just move it from there to the main folder or copy and paste it, but does anyone know why this might be happening and have a possible fix, or do I just need to keep moving it when it happens? Edit: I also just noticed my font looks smaller than usual, but my fonts.json has not change…
