Solution to very small text.

[sa1vi]

Solution to very small and unreadable text descriptions.

If like me, you are using a big resolution in your operating system, W7 to 1090x1080p in my case, it is possible that you will increase the size of text and other elements of the screen from the control panel.

Change the resolution not solve the problem in the game, so let's check out if you increased the size of the text in Windows 7 and if so we will leave them in default mode.


Go to "Control Panel", go to the "Display" option and will read "facilitate reading the display items" and displays three options:
1. Smaller 100% (default)
2. Medium 125%
3. Bigger: 150%

Check the "Smaller 100% (default)", you must restart the session for the changes to take effect. Done this fixes the problem in the game but leaves you with very small texts in Windows. So at the end of play must resize them again. If someone has a better solution, I'm all ears !.

What the OP said has worked for me. But instead of Windows 7, I use Windows 10. The lowest text option I could select under Settings / System was 100% (it was at 125%). The in-game text looks pretty good at higher resolutions now, but it's even more clear in 800x600 (from the in-game options menu).

This font fix is great, but I find fonts really ugly - although their size is all right, they don't quite fit well with WH40000 aesthetic, in my opinion.

So, after performing many Canticles of the Omnissiah, He has blessed me with some better looking fonts! I've mostly tried to find original fonts, but also added some more flavourful ones. I'm adding them with the same files Robot-Rob linked - just paste them into Dawn of War folder.

I have my font size set to 30, so if it's small you can enlarge it by changing numbers in the .fnt files. It also should work with GOTY edition and Dark Crusade, however I haven't checked them with GOTY.

Praise the Omnissiah!

Just change his size in the .fnt files to 70-95 and it's just the right size with only minor cut off at the bottom in a few UI and text locations, but still 100% readable at 4K..

1440P will need to try somewhere between 40 and 65.

Also, REMINDER, EDIT the .fnt files with notepad base or notepad++.

Hey, my data folder is empty, is the game installing improperly or something?
