Status: offline 		I love this upgrade and particularly the controllable tech screen. But could you please increase the font size, when I try to research a tech that is race specific I can not read the text to find out which race can research this. I have found that this game has the hardest text read in any of the games I have, because of its font size.

Please do something to improve it before I have to stop playing this game because I keep getting headaches from all the eye strain I get from reading very small fonts!

Status: offline 		Agreed...  The font styling at the smaller point sizes are very hard to read.  My screen resoultion is 1680x1050 on a 20 inch viewsonic.  If I try to reduce the resolution, to make the fonts bigger, they end up being very fuzzy edged because of the scaling.  I know this is a problem for the developer but any chance of them working on it.  The smaller font sizes are virtually unreadable.

I don't know how you will solve it.  Larger fonts?  Cleaner edge fonts?  Are you anti-aliasing them inside the game engine?  Any possibility of us choosing our own font styles?  IE make fonts modable.
