Font question

[Ass_Kraken]

The character skill texts are pretty easy to read, at least to me, but the chat text is horrible.

i wonder if changing the resolution could change the font size???

It certainly should. I would really like the OP and anyone else with issues about the font size to post a screenshot (or a clipping from one) and to say what their resolution is.

Assuming one is using a LCD, it would be native resolution, ie. 1680x1050 for a 22" and 1920x1080 for a 24".

Is there any way at all to increase the font size (tooltips, guide, etc) in windowed mode? I tried switching to full screen but I just get a big black screen, so I'm not sure if that would fix the problem.

Really want to play the game, but for whatever reason the text is just really super tiny on my screen to the point it's just too much of a pain to try and read.

Thanks!

Devs please create a way to increase the FONT asap! I have multiple friends with limited vision and they cannot deal with the tiny font.

I know that you can decrease the resolution which helps however, makes the graphics look terrible.

Please put an option in for larger font size and your player base will increase!

that's a pretty big assumption to make.

I would love to play this game alongside my son, but unfortunately, the text size is too small for me to read comfortably, which renders the game unplayable for me. I know this seems like a trivial thing to those who can read the text without issue, but for those of us with even mild visual impairment (I wear glasses for reading only) it's very frustrating, because text seems like such a small, simple thing. I realise text rendering isn't as simple as it seems, but it's one of those things you take for granted.

I sure hope the text issue is addressed in the future.

I would also like to point out that white text on black backgrounds is also very difficult to read for those with most any kind of visual impairment, so an option to reverse those colours would also be very welcome.

My screen resolution is 1680x1050. Here is a screenshot.

I have 20/15. This text is barely readable :c

I agree with previous posters. Chat font size is unbearably small. It just breaks my eyes.

here is a slight fix, although its somewhat impractical. simply resize your desktop. in win 7 right click the desktop goto screen resolution and lower it. be warned this will make everything bigger not just text, but tinkering in there will get you to a median resolution size to where you can better read stuff, but not lose so much space. i normally run in 1920x1080 but i find salem easier to read at 1280x1024 or thereabouts. this used to work well, i havent tried it in a long time but im sure it still does so give it a try!

also grab the ender mod, it will allow you to move some of th stuff around. so even tho its bigger, you can put it in a better place so it doesnt run off the screen etc..

as for the dark blue party text from chat, someone seriously needs to BONK the dev who included that, on the head with a hammer, or pickaxe(if youve the bars to make one!) thats just....to put it nicely, retarded, its impossible toread anything they say unless you lean all the way forward nose about 2 inches from monitor, and concentrateing so hard you blow a vein! hmmm dark blue on black, thatll piss em off, "Let's do it!"

I also agree.. Text is an eyestrain at the current font size but the content is great!
