As the game has no option to adjust the text size, I'm forced to use the GUI Scaling option in settings.txt if I want my wife to be able to see anything (she's currently suffering from iritis, which has a) made her 20/200 vision in her left eye even worse and b) made her glasses useless). Unfortunately, there are a few things which don't work well -- tooltips will go off the side of the screen, and occasionally the context menus will be offset by 20-25% of the screen (2-3 inches on a 24" monitor).

Speaking of the lack of text size adjustment, I was pretty p***** that it didn't exist; this is 2016, gamers are getting older, and there's flat out No. Excuse. for not providing the option to adjust text size. I came very close to returning the game... had I not discovered the option in settings.txt, I probably would have.

Do you simply not care about players with a visual disability? Currently, the evidence says the answer is 'yes'; I'm pretty sure you don't want that sort of publicity.
