Ever since to upgrade to 0.17 I have trouble reading some text descriptions - here are some examples:
(OK, this EULA actually looks better in this post than it does on my screenshot or in game, where it looks much more like the text in the Changelog)
Here is the same EULA from 0.16 (much clearer and easier to read):
This is a summary of my specs:
Is this a problem with Factorio, or do I need to change my settings?

Re: [0.17] Some text descriptions are poor quality and difficult to read
Due to the lack of response I assumed that this was a problem with my set up and not with the update to Factorio 0.17, so I've tinkered with all the Windows display settings, but did not find a solution.
I then did the same for my monitor and found that it has a setting called Super Resolution which changes the 'sharpness' of the screen. One downside is that at high settings it can add white lines to the edges of text, making it difficult to read, and my Super Resolution was at its highest setting. Turning SR off makes the text appear as it should - and my pics in the previous post are now as clear as day.
But with SR turned off the game graphics start to look fuzzy, as they have lost the sharpness I have been used to, and while the low and medium settings give an improvement they are nowhere near the sharpness I get with the high setting, so I'll be leaving it set to high and start using the forum to read the Changelog

It's just because the text is much smaller in 0.17 - when moving from 0.16 to 0.17, to solve this issue, I've increased the UI scale from 100% to 125% (even though "it's not supported" for my "only" 1920x1200 resolution screen).

The text is smaller, but I don't have a problem with the in-game graphics, and changing the UI scale does not affect the text size in the Changelog or EULA screens, and I don't see any settings where I can change that text size.

Huh, this might be the only text that doesn't... actually, sounds like a bug ?
