I don't know whether developer have ever test their game on low resolution screen or small monitor
this is what I saw

the fonts are very very very small
and this problem never be fixed since alpha

If developer don't care about "small monitor/low resolution user"
then you can just ignore this "bug" and I will also give up.

I was going to post a similar topic once I got back home to capture some pictures for proper comparison. And the image you captured isn't even that bad. The worst offender is the lobby chatbox, which seriously put a strain on your eyes and is rather blurry to boot.

Whenever a patch comes out and I have to turn up the resolution, I'm not doing it to make the game look pretty. I'm doing it because I can't read a damn thing because it's so blurry. Only after that am I able to strain my eyes enough to read the microscopic text. Yes, absolutely please fix this.

yes, the text is insanely small, really hard to read, especially on a small monitor or even the tv if you are sitting in a "safe" distance to not ruin your eyes. please fix it, or add a way to scale it up

Agreed.   Fonts are way too small.

Optimizations menu is so bad that I have to have a friend read it to me.

I second it.

Can't understand why fonts are so small in such negative way, that from an accessibility standpoint.. I've to admit...

Yeah, I've been complaining about this since Alpha 2.  It's absurd how small the text is, especially on larger monitors.

At 1024x768 is barely readable too. Moreover, colored text is like blurry; so twice the problem. You won't see me complaining on anything about the game like on this matter.

Another idea would be making the font even smaller. This way I could use this gadget to read it well...

Although I should add to this that I'm pretty confident on that the devs will adress this issue in the near future.
