Player Information - Fonts for Factions are huge

[alt3rn1ty]

I'm usually moaning things are too small, but Fonts for Player Information, Factions, are too big.

I have UI Scale set to 1.2, to make most of the in game UI fonts readable.

I am on 7.60 beta 5 .. but this is not beta related, its been like this for a while.

Just why do you think this is "too big" and a 'bug'? It's been like this forever (at least since 6.0 and probably long before) and is WAI. I'm surprised , no shocked , that you never noticed it before.

[alt3rn1ty]

I have noticed it before, but havent mentioned it as its just a small polishing thing to do .. It just seems odd and inconsistent with the rest of the UI.
Now we are maybe getting closer to the final polishing stage of the game development, I thought I would throw it in there.
No need to be so dramatic about it

Try increasing the UI scale a few notches (as us old bad eyesight folks need to) and then see what you think.
The screenshots have been cropped and resized for forum rules 640x480, so dont really present what I am seeing as there has been some stretching/squashing in the process.

Just a pure guess, but I expect the enlargement is more for the sake of clarity of the faction icons than for the name text.

[alt3rn1ty]

Could be just that.

On my current screen res though, to see all of the factions I need to use the scroll bar down the right hand side of the list.
This comparatively short list needing a scroll bar seems a bit OTT to me having had to blow up the UI to be able to read everything elses small fonts.
