I have problem with oversize fonts. The text is overlapping sometimes and is quite bothersome. Is there any way to fix that aside from changing system font size ?

What is your Windows font setting? It does look larger then normal. I'll see if Rob can take a look into that. We also need to check that on the new game too.

I'm was using 125% normal (because I'm working in 1600x1200 desktop resolution). I've change that to 115% (110 dpi). After lowering the value it get smaller in the game, but still a little to big. Is there anyway to override game font size from system setting?

No, I'm sorry - the game just uses the values passed through by Windows and there is no override.

There are advantages to this general system (running the game as just another Windows app and not a dedicated DirectX screen) and only a few disadvantages. Unfortunately this exact issue is one of the disadvantages!

Well ok, I think I can live with that. I alsow think running it as a Windows app gives good advantages.
