Which game? (Although it probably does not matter as the interface is much the same.)

At least your game is running in UHD unlike in this thread. It seems that ensuring that the in-game and all device resolution settings are in harmony has some benefit. Therefore, have you tried using gpu/display device internal graphics-processing scaling-to-fit to maybe improve quality of the full-screen display while using text set up for a lower in-game resolution? Just a thought.

Some possible solutions from the S&M world are mentioned here but these have limits too.

Tks for the reply. Its X3AP in 4k on a 27" monitor.
It looks fantastic but unusable due to the tiny UI, text and menu's.
At least for my eyes!
Other games have addressed this such as Homeworld and Startrek Online
Thanks again for your help.

if it matters I play on 290x 1100t 16gig ram

This is an issue for me as well. Just found out my vision gone worst, so i went few days ago to figure out how to change X3:AP fonts to increase their size/contrast.

There is no in-game option, however i found some x3fontmaker tool which seem to work somehow. The font size unfortunately stays small, but at least the shape can be changed.

Would be nice from ES to address this issue, so old players like me can continue enjoy X3 titles.

BTW, Litcube, your mod is plain awesome. Thank you if you read this! :)

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread.
Can you share your font / font configuration?
I can run x3fontmaker under Linux (via wine windows emulation), but even @13, the font size looks big, most likely is using scaled UI and fonts - which means I don't have a clue which font and size I must select.
