Anyone know of a way to magnify the text in this game? A search indicates that it is not possible to enlarge the font.

I use a magnifying glass. [:D] Seriously, but then I don't own glasses...

There was a long thread about this issue a short time ago.

I found some freeware that seems to work compatibly with DW - called magnifixer. Haven't found a conflict yet.

I don't have my Distant Worlds PC with me to test it, but since the Game only runs in Windowed Mode you should be able to use the standard Windows Magnifier (It's under Accessories->Ease of Access on Windows 7, I believe its under Accessories->Accessability for XP).
