Larger text windows in TotE?

[jeffh]

There's an old mod that's supposed to make message windows in HoMMV larger, for more comfortable reading of some of the messages that occur in more story-oriented maps. I have downloaded it and put it in my mods folder, but it doesn't seem to work in TotE. Several other mods including some its age work fine for me (I have simply put them in UserMODs, renaming to *.h5u if not already so named), but this one seems to have no effect.

Can anyone either point me to a mod of this sort that is known to work in TotE, or share any insights they might have into what I might be doing wrong with the existing one?
