Text Obscured

[Wayfarer]

I have a few instances in the squadron and Quick Combat screens where the options boxes obscure a little of the text, e.g. I get Principle Role: 'Reconnaissance or ...', or 'Season Overrid ...' .

It's no problem but does it mean I should be tweaking the graphics somewhere? I am running at 1280 x 1024 screen resolution if that makes any difference.

Do a search for "font" and "DPI setting".

 

I recall others having a unreadable text problem and IIRC your font DPI has to set to, at least, 96.

 

This is by memory so please double check.

Sorry for being dumb, but in what should I be searching?

A "cut n paste" from the FAQ Section:

 

"Go to your desktop and right click on it somewhere empty, select Display Properties. Click Advanced. Change the DPI settings from whatever it is to 120 or 96.

Try OFF again. It may need a reboot first."

 

Hope it helps.

 

EDIT: In re-reading your original post this may not be what you need but it wouldn't hurt to doublecheck.

If not post a screenshot if possible and perhaps some of the real gurus can assist.

Thanks both, I'll take a look.

Ok, next dumb question. I've never posted a screenshot before. The Insert Image icon asks for a URL. Do you use a photosharing site?

I have never posted a screenshot here either. Nor do I have a clue.

 

But you can knock one thing off your list - I run OFF at the same resolution you do and everything look fine.
