We still need it.  I can't read anything in this game without getting 3 inches away from my screen.  This has been a problem since Alpha 2 (when I joined).  Please, PLEASE give us larger text sizes.

Agreed, though an option for font sizes in general would be greatly appreciated.

Also:
http://community.pla...text-too-small/

Tbh many things in hawken's lobby where text is too small looks like a place holder for some pimped graphics to be added later.
As far as in-game text is considered i had close to no problems with it's size, but i wonder how much more hassle do devs have with making it to work nicely with Oculus (I like Oculus, would even buy it if i had more cash for it, guess i'll have to wait for consumer version) .

The text needs a black translucent background more than it needs to be bigger. The text is pretty big as it is, it's just that green text on sickly-green environments is pretty much unreadable.

My gigantic screens can barely read the text... even with contacts in.

Disagree.

Text is too small AND the colors and fonts are awful too.

I enjoy the fonts (immersive), and find them easy enough to read.
But they are too small, and they definitely can get lost on the background.

Optional font size selection might be an option, but with so many it could be difficult. Slightly larger would be good.
