View Full Version : Text Too Small

I have a widescreen monitor and the text is ridiculously small in game and in menus. Is there any way to make it bigger, maybe through a mod? Sadly, even at the LOWEST resolution, the text is still ridiculously small. Barely legible. I have to move my head a few inches from the monitor to read the tooltips.

Tried changing resolution on your desktop properties?

Try to play without AA since iirc it is working also with font in DoW, not only graphics.

I think the folks over at DoW Tech Assistance might be of help here. Moved.

Damn no go, although I would have been ridiculously amazed if it did heh

I *think* that helped with making the font a little more legible, but still small.

I'm using a GeForce 7300 GT (nvidia control panel) if that matters

Here's a screenshot:

The text in the dropdown boxes is fine, but look at the text to the left and to the right. It's almost impossible to read unless I'm RIGHT up next to the screen. Unfotunately, this is how ALL the text in-game looks including tooltips etc... and I'm a new player :confused:

If you do a refined Forum Search for this topic 'Text too Small' for Dawn of War Tech Area, you will come across a variety of similar issues - unfortunately there seems to be one solution (if you have already turned off Anti-Aliasing and Catalyst AI) and it is hidden within a reinstall of the OS (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=120081&highlight=Text+Too+Small).

Interesting. So there's a setting that's hidden _somewhere_.

Anyone else running into this problem?

More than likely under Control Panel - check out the search results for some useful tips.
