So you know I am getting older and the old eyesight is not as good as it used to be.
The font in this game is worst than most. I just started it and I can't even read the tutorial stuff. It looks like hell. Its not that its to small, its just blurry and seems hmm jagged. The last game I saw with this issue was Age of Wushu and it caused me to not play.

I would screen shot, but it seems to hide the interface when you do.
I am not sure if this helps but I am speaking of the upper left hand side.

It looks better than in my game. I think this problem could be solved by adding a bold font to it. Not the first time someone complains about it. Lets hope the devs will hear us.
I increase gamma and bright of the monitor and I also put the screen closer to my chair. :confused:

Sadly Anti-Aliasing does also perform on the font in this game, you should try to deactivate it to get better results.

I hope they fix these font issues, I dont like it, too.

+500 to this thread. I look at code, and walls of text all day. I know what fonts should look like and I know why they should look like that.

There are few games/sites/applications that have text that is remotely close to as unreadable and horrid as this. I can not believe Paradox/Colossal shipped a game like this.
