Hi,

I just purchased the game and am going through the tutorial and I'm finding it difficult to read the text.

Is there a way to adjust the font size? I'm playing with all of the expansions and I don't see anywhere in the game options to adjust the resolution or preferably, the font size. My monitor's native resolution is 2560x1440.

Thanks!

Other than the option to increase the size of the bottom left box (which I'm assuming you've already found), there is nothing else you can do in game to increase the font size. I used to have a 27 inch monitor with 2560x1440 resolution, and I found DW very difficult to read. In fact, I subsequently moved back to a 24 inch (1900x1200) monitor, because I found the 27 inch screen size too large, and the resolution often ended up with text smaller than I wanted (not just DW). Old age probably; I'm sure it was easier when I was younger. Then again, I blame the 1980s monitor resolutions for my poor eyesight!

You can play in windowed or full screen windowed mode and use windows magnifier when reading very small text. I have very poor eyesight and this works for me. It's the only way I can play this amazing game.
