Ah. That's because Dominions graphics engine / library scales everything itself, while leaving the contents of the window the same. You can make the window as small as possible, and it still shows the same provinces and whatnot as at full size.

So, pixels are going to get blurred by the scaling - it's probably more readily apparent on the LCD with its lower resolution. Looking at it, I'm thinking that the text on the right is possibly done with a different font mechanism (vector vice bitmapped), or possibly as text while the text on the left is in graphics.

You have to be careful when resizing the window to keep the proportions as close to accurate as possible, or the graphics and text definately gets strange - try making the window full height but narrow to see what I mean.

And, in general, "upscaling" or enlarging graphics winds up looking better than shrinking them. So, you're best off being careful with the window dimensions, and making it as large as possible while leaving whatever other window real estate you need.
