I want to run the game in my native resolution which is 1920x1080, however, the font is very small when I do. It would be nice to be able to select a larger font size or to have the game adjust the UI based on the screen resolution. Too bad I have to stick with a lower resolution.

I decided to play the game again and the tiny fonts really bother me. I even try to decrease the resolution but still the text is quite tiny to read.

A solution would be great.

AFAICT, the font size is hardcoded. See "Init_Fonts( )" in the "uplink/src/uplink.cpp" file in the (old) source.

The "Gci..." functions for setting the font is in "lib/gucci/gucci.cpp".

It might have been hardcoded because the text is drawn on top of images. And maybe because the text regions are expected to be a specific size for the pointer. But those two ideas are just guesses.


And back in 1999, pixels were bigger. Sort of.
