text is really hard to read

[Plex]

I'm using a 4K monitor and the problem is that the text is really blurry with upscaling, when I turn off upscaling and play the game in native resolution I need a microscope to be able to read the text..

I remember there was a way to change the font,
I tried changing the font MingLIU to Arial in the ExecParam.ini, but when I start the game it always switches back to MingLIU

any ideas?

Anyway to do this without changing system locale?

I have changed the UIconfig and the text chat is a good scale now.

The problem is the conversation bubbles and the log books. I run 1920 x 1200 and the letters are bearly legible, sometimes I am guessing what the words are... Anyway to increase those fonts?

OK I found the fix for small font in all the game dialogs. It is a Windows 10 issue.

Windows 10 does not have the correct font installed. Chaning the syslocale works becuase it loads the font for the region. You can just go get the font and install it in the c:/windows/font driectory and it will fix the problem.

Here are the instructions I followed:

I followed the this link to download the missing font:

I downloaded the font above and then copy and pasted it into c:/windows/font and it fixed the problem!

Windows 10 works fine on windows 10. Just got to download the original mingliu font for domo cuz windows 10 use the smaller font version.

Thanks Lani!

That fixed the problem for me!!!

Yeah, my screen is 2560x1080 and after doing all this, it's still hard to read text from NPCs and NPC names and such. I doubt this can be fixed for me because of my high resolution. :\

Another approach for those stumbling on this article, is under the "Getting the Settings Right" section on this domo wikipedia page that I've made:

Tater - you may be able to get it going with Windows scale (in resolution settings), or you could fix it by upping the font-size in the settings file (as detailed in the beginners guide I put above).
Alternatively, for similar games, your GPU likely has upscaling methods. I use Nvidia on a 4k monitor and upscale games so that if it detects a game in 1920x1080, it will scale it to my 4k monitor without messing up the zoom or my 2nd monitor (which is 1920x1080).
Hope this helps and hope to see you in DOMO :)
