Can Font Size Be Increased?

I was able to increase the size of the font for words that are typed in the game which appear on the bottom left side of the screen. However, this is not my problem. I want to make all the other words on the screen larger, the words in quests and various boxes that pop up, among others. Is there a way to do this?

    The only way is to use a lower resolution. :D

    That is true. Otherwise, the text would cut off, overlap, or otherwise make the game impossible to play.
    Do you need help learning about patching the game, installing it, changing antivirus/firewall settings, changing network settings, learn how to use a computer, keeping your PC maintained and more?

    I was just gonna post about it... I would like to add that the windows ingame should be bigger on the highest resolutions with the text bigger also... because playing with 1024 resolution to see the text ok is really pain with 20" monitor :P. Game is a big blurspot. Change font should be the easyest way out i think. But maybe enabling some cleartype font support ingame for lcd-s :S? no clue.And the minimap...no way, i need a big **** magnifying glass to see stuff from there. Anyways some screens about why i'm talking about this.

    pay attention especially on the character window and health bar :S text is like broken or smth.
    Or is there a problem on my side :D?

    Have mine at 1980 x 1080 and usually sit about 8 feet away from the screen (as its my tv), and can barely read the text. game does look lovely though :)

    Was finding myself slowly moving closer to the screen, which after a while was uncomfortable.

    Maybe a text option to change the dpi? only problem i can thing of is the text getting cropped as it may no longer fit in windows if any bigger >.<, adding an auto resize to them would work but starting to add changes to make changes.

    This is my problem too, except I'm working on a laptop screen. I find myself squinting at the screen and gradually moving my head closer and closer until my nose is about 6" from the screen.

    I have tried all the resolution options on my computer and in the game window, and none of them increase the size of the writing. They only increase the amount of the environment that can be seen around my character.

    I understand that cut-off or overlapping text would be a problem, but there has to be some happy medium to make it possible to read everything on the screen without straining our eyes.

    RE: Font Size post

    I have a 22" wide screen. I paid a lot of money for it. For this reason alone, I would not
    continue with this game. I bought a big monitor to enjoy a more panaramic view, not to
    have to play at a bigger low rez. ;) If the fonts cant be fixed to be larger.. ::shrug:: Not
    much more to say.. haha
