Default Slightly larger letters / numbers / lines...

On the plotting map, the lines, numbers, degree markers are too fine and too small for me to see properly.

I think I've seen a mod that can fix this, but I can't find it anymore.
Someone who knows a solution?

yes, lower the video resolution.
i have the same issue, especially on my laptop.
in order to read the text, i must play at 1200x900.
do i prefer that resolution? No. but it is down to that or not playing.

welcome to middle age.

@KaleunMarco

Thanks for the quick reply!

InGame I now have the Laptop screen at 1024x768 (4: 3).Whatever proportion I choose, I can't get the circles round, they are more or less oval ...

How are yours?

yeah, that's distortion at 1024x768 within the game.
did you try some of the other higher-lower resolutions?
1280x800
1280x960
or even 1600x900 (might be small but i would check)

Use a resolution that more closely matches the monitor (with laptops, that is more difficult)... if you have a 16:9 monitor, use one of those.
