Tim,

Although my own eyes are not what they once were, I am struggling to see the difference between your 2 screenshots - though I accept that YOU see a difference!

I cut and pasted sections side by side of what you labeled 'regular' and 'the bug' versions of the same horse, same readout. At least from what you posted - they are identical size.

So your example doesn't illustrate (at least to my eyes ...). I myself have not observed any difference in text size from previous versions, when set to the same settings as you, same 1920 x 1080 screen res and that code has not changed in years.

Are these before and after installing the current version on the same computer, or did you preserve the previous version and are running it simultaneous to the new version?

At the moment, I don't know what I would fix: I cannot see any problem. Can you develop and explain this observation further?

Also - it is odd that you say changing the Zoom setting has NO effect on text size. If you switch to another race (or restart), you should see the font size change. Are you saying NOTHING you can do has an effect on Font Size?

I do suspect something peculiar to your particular computer. A useful test would be to install the previous version you have from one of your downloaded Install files. Preserve the new 2.1.048 by simply renaming the RDSS2.1 folder to, say, RDSS2.1.048. Then reinstall a previous version (say 2.1.045 or whatever). Open each and compare screens side by side. That process should give useful info.

(Also - if you can keep your screenshots to 1000 pixels wide max, it will keep the browser screen from blowing up with too large an image).
