1/ The difference is obvious when you compare them side by side. Your screen shots, quality aside, are identical to the ones I posted. generally the "large" font is 1 pixel taller. The title " SCENARIO LIST" is 65x7 pixels in standard font and 81x8 pixels in large font.

2/ The game itself was not written for widescreen monitors but "desktop mode" was but a 480x640 image stays 640x480.

We included the large font mode because tests showed that it helps some people read the text on the screen more easily but, without my glasses, I have a special pair just for computer work, I cannot read ANYTHING on the screen unless the text is at least

THIS BIG
.....and even then I have to squint to see it well enough to be sure of the words but with my glasses I can read the standard text in the game without any difficulty at all so my advice to anyone who still has trouble reading the game text even with the larger font option is .... get glasses set up for how far you normally sit from your computer screen.

When I started work on these game I didn't need glasses , now I do and with them I see the screens perfectly
