I must have been blind!
Thanks.
It's still odd that I get 30-32-pixel height of in-game font even though there's no such values in .cfg files. I'll leave it at that for the time being. Those will lower-resolution displays will have to crack this one on their own.
In the latest version I only edited the resultant DDS file to lower contrast by 20% to make the font readable on black in-game background. Simply put - I've made the font light-grey instead of white. It's available for anyone to try.

Nothing special. Created for my own personal use. Just sharing. The font is too big for your taste? Please refer to the forum topic. I couldn't make the font smaller.
Installation:
1. Back up 3 game_journal* files in the .../Amnesia/fonts/eng/
2. Copy the attached game_journal* files (2 files) to .../Amnesia/fonts/eng/

There. No more 90's font.

EDIT:
The problem was I was looking at the section you see at my mod preview shot, not inside notes, while testing cfg values. The notes contents do change, however unpredictably.
My recent test results:
menu.cfg NoteFontSize // in-game font size:
10 // 16
16 // 24
20 // ~30
Original is 20.
The funny thing is it seems to follow a y=4/3*x+8/3 pattern which is weird to me.
