I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with small text in *Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Anniversary Edition* on Windows 11. This is a common problem, especially on high-resolution displays. Here's a straightforward method to increase the in-game font size:

**Method: Adjusting Windows Display Scaling**

The game's text size can be affected by Windows' display scaling settings. Here's how to adjust them:

1. **Access Display Settings**:
- Right-click on your desktop and select **"Display settings"**.

2. **Modify Scale and Layout**:
- In the **"Scale and layout"** section, you'll see an option labeled **"Change the size of text, apps, and other items"**.
- Set this value to **100%**. If it's set higher (like 150% or 200%), it can cause the game's text to appear smaller.

3. **Apply Changes**:
- You might need to sign out and back in for the changes to take effect.

4. **Launch the Game**:
- Start *Dawn of War* and check if the text size has improved.

**Note**: Changing the display scaling to 100% will make text and icons smaller in other applications. After playing, you might want to revert the scaling to your preferred setting.

**Alternative Method: Editing Font Files**

If adjusting the display scaling doesn't yield satisfactory results, you can manually edit the game's font files to increase text size:

1. **Navigate to the Game's Font Directory**:
- Go to the game's installation folder, then to `Engine\Locale\English\Data\font`.

2. **Edit Font Files**:
- You'll find files with the `.fnt` extension.
- Open each `.fnt` file using a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
- Look for a line that specifies the font size (e.g., `size = 12`).
- Increase the number to a larger value (e.g., `size = 30`).

3. **Save Changes and Test**:
- Save the modified files and launch the game to see if the text size is more readable.

**Caution**: Editing game files can have unintended effects. It's advisable to back up the original `.fnt` files before making changes.

For a more detailed guide on this method, you can refer to this [Steam Community discussion](https://steamcommunity.com/app/9450/discussions/0/792924952801763017/).

By following these steps, you should be able to adjust the text size in *Dawn of War* to your liking. If you encounter further issues, feel free to ask for more assistance.
