I've switched my system from 96 DPI to 120 DPI (from default "smaller" to "medium" in Windows) due to eyesight issues, and I've learned that some games aren't built to handle the switch. Will Distant Worlds display text correctly at 120 DPI, or will there be cutoff?

I tested by setting mine to "large" to get the worst effect. Things looks blurry, but I don't think anything bugs. The screen is normally running 1900x1200 (24").

I noticed the research button struggling a bit, and some "left side" text is a bit chopped:

But taking approximately the same screen (1900x1200) it is clear that the text chop is the same, it just runs with a lower resolution.

I did not check everywhere, but I assume you would be fine.
