Is there any way to change the text size in the ini file? I have the game playing at the same res as my computer setting - 1024x768 - on a 19" screen. Looks great!

But the text is too tiny for my eyes! I can read it, but just barely, and not without straining some. I wear progressive lenses, and am pretty dern nearsited, so eye comfort is important to me.

The character pics are also quite small, only come down about halfway on the side of the screen.

I've tried playing in 800x600, and the text looks better, and portraits slightly larger, but the screen is then actually smaller than my monitor with black around the edges, and the playable area onscreen is quite reduced.

I noticed in the ini file there is a line that says "Font name = " and a blank space after. Can I simply try naming different fonts in there? Does anyone have a suggestion as to the best font for larger type? Or is there a way to control size itself?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've barely started the game, but after just two conversations my eyes are getting tired.

Thanks in advance!
