Hi Joerg and Rich
Thanks, I have already done that but it is not enough. the problem is
that the resolution is 1920x1080 but when I flick through the motion
clips to check for interesting action (I am using it for wildlife
recording and I gets lots of false events due to moths and so on) I
have it shrunk down to 768x432 so the whole image can be taken in
without the eye having to wander over the whole image. The result is
that the timestamp text is not much over a millimetre tall and very
difficult to read. Ideally I would like another factor of about 4 in
size. Even better would be able to set the height in pixels, or a
scaling factor of some sort.

Hmm, I have found the code (in draw.c and motion.c) but I see it is
not as simple as I had hoped. More thought is required I think.

you can use ?text_double? many times to have bigger text eg.
text_double
text_double
text_double
