Font size is way too small and no way to adjust?

[kebzero]

Is it possible to adjust in-game text/font size?

A grand few minutes of play so far, and already a complaint - or perhaps a wish.

I play on a projection system. That means I sit a fair distance from the 'view', and games that don't autoadjust in-game texts/fonts to match screen resolutions are tough on the eyes. The default font for the 'advisor' text is so small I can barely read it if I squint, no matter what resolution I pick. If possible, I'd like those text lines to be as big as the 'pause menu' texts, at the very least. Is there a way to double, if not quadruple, the size of the in-game text lines without breaking the UI? This'd include the Advisor tooltips, the mouseover tooltips and Chirpee's messages, at the very least.

I'd rather not have to use binoculars when playing a game - even when it comes to watching my city and its denizens from afar.

The thing that worries me is Paradox games ALWAYS have tiny font. I still can't play Crusader Kings 2 and that's been out for awhile now.

Hopefully we can convince Colossal Order to listen to reason.

There is a mod in the workshop (I haven't tried it) which may help you guys:

Text Scale Mod:

There is also one for the UI, although not sure how it affects text etc.

The second one is based off the first one. It has issues with other mods but it allows you to resize the UI in-game so, should you need to, you can drop the size down long enough to get into, for example, the camera mod to tweak it.

Nice find, seriously.

Add me to the list of folks wanting an option to increase the UI text size. I play a ton of Paradox games, have good vision (I wear glasses, but still), and have never had a problem with the text size...until Cities: Skyline. It's way, way, WAY too tiny to read, and blurry even at my native resolution. Please Paradox and Colossal Order - give us an option to increase the text size!

The Ideascale request feature thingy for font options is up to 30 votes. Huzzah!

I cannot understand how this gets through quality assurance. Do developers and beta testers only use wall-size screens when testing their games?

Hey, not sure if this has been addressed but you guys can try this?

I came here looking for a way to fix the font size, guess it's not going to happen?

try playing on 3840x2160 the text size is perfect.

Any update on whether Paradox can be bothered to fix one of their games?

It looks like just some more money down the drain with another worthless developer. So many people have complained about this and there isn't even a response from the developer. This is just typical American capitalistic Satanism messing with us ruining everything that we want and disrespecting all the work we go to to make their games work. Paradox is just one more garbage company in a long list of organizations that shouldn't exist.

poor trollmanship is poor

Is there any update on this? Seems like this would be an issue with the ADA and not providing ANY way of altering the ability to accommodate the user who can't read tiny text. This article was a pretty good one in terms of the ADA and the digital world.
