Small font

[DRG]

Without my glasses there are no fonts used in the game that I can read. Everything is a blur. If I used my normal bi-focals neither part of the prescription gives me a good view of any computer screen no matter if I'm in the game or dealing with this forum or anthing else.

However, I keep a pair of cheaters reading glass specifically for computer work and when I wear them I can see every font in the game and in every other program I use clearly so I sympathize and also have to deal with the "older eyes" issue but I can read every screen perfectly with these glasses.

Now, that said the resolution I use is 1152x864 normally but I also have a copy on my daughters wide screen computer that I use when I need to test issues that may arise with higher resolutions and have no problem reading any of the fonts in the game at the highest resolution using my "computer glasses"

Well adjusting the dpi setting to make text bigger does not work in Windows 7, nor does the "magnifier" in the ease of accessibility. The magnifying glass won't interact with the game windows.

Okay I need reading glasses maybe but the text is not readable much above 800x600.

Perhaps the game designers can address two points:

1. Is the Encyclopedia text available somewhere in the game files. I found a folder called "text" that has the end quotes as well as I guess mission text such as this one

et036001.txt

If so, maybe these fonts can be increased on a trial basis.

2. If doing the above would screw up the tables, etc. for the Encyclopedia data, then at least there should be a way to print the data out and use normal word processing or copier machine tricks to make the print image larger and easier to read. Everything would be magnified and tables would not be messed up and the data would probalby still fit on a single page.

Can the moderator weigh in on this?
