You can change the game fonts - look at the Editor Manual - Modding Section 7.2

lets take a look at your settings and see if we can help with your resolution in your O/S as well...

How to get a DxDiag report file:

1. Click on "START" (on Windows 8 press “Windows key” and the “R” key at the same time)
2. Click "run" (skip this step on Windows 8 )
3. Type in "dxdiag" and click "OK"
4. Check through the tabs and perform all tests
5. Click "Save all Information..." and save the text file to a location of your choice

We prefer that DxDiag files be posted as message attachments (zip) rather than pasted into the body of the post.

You don't need to do anything in the editor. There is a file that controls the fonts in the game. You can adjust that file to increase the size of the fonts shown in the game. If you let me know which font you are struggling with I can make an amended version for you to try.

i'd hazard a guess as not, as it takes the default main pc one atm and uses that, only options in game are shown, either full screen or windowed
