The text is overall too small for my eyes, but it is unreadable when trying to see the quantities of items I have in stores and how many days for a 'mech to be repaired.
I can't tell the difference between a 3, 6, 8, and 9.
I swear it was bigger before my HD crashed and I had to reinstall everything from scratch last spring.
Here's a screenshot of what I mean about being unable to tell the difference between digits, even when using Windows' "Magnifier" tool.

Is there any way to fix this? I've tried playing with the "make text bigger" in Windows accessibility but not only does that mess up every other program, but it seems to be ignored in Battletech. Adjusting the scaling option just seems to cause Battletech to deliberately make the text smaller to compensate.
Could somebody suggest a mod, or a way to patch it, or a hidden setting, or how to edit a game file, or the registry (I can use a hex editor) to increase this itsy bitsy teeny tiny font size? They don't have enough pixels to tell the characters apart. It must be done in 4 point font.
EDIT: I just noticed something. The image in paint is bigger than in the game. I had paint open, then clicked back on the game, and the font is smaller in the game than in Paint. I swapped back and forth several times, so it's obviously changing resolutions as well as I can't figure out why hitting ALT-PRINTSCREEN would paste a bigger image into paint otherwise.
