Font is hard to read

Hi,
I see from screen shots that the font's hard to read. It's kind of bulky, like it's all bold and stuff. While this adds to a 'sci-fi' kind of feel, I think it's not the best choice for readability. This is a big problem with all kinds of games to be honest (especially bad MMOs where you read all the time).
I can only see the font being even harder to read as the resolutions go up.
Now, I'm considered legally blind (I have only 1 eye, and I'm 20/400 in my good eye), although quite able to see well enough to play video games (even click-fests like WC3, although there's no way I could ever be a pro player). Still, this puts me at a natural disadvantage when playing video games (anything with too much action with lots to look at all at once is the worst kind of game I can play).
Now, SINS looks like a good game for me, because of the slower pacing and the lack of focus on micromanagement. However, the font is going to cause me problems - I know this for a fact.
Would you guys be willing to do some readiability studies to find a better font for the game? Something easy and clear to read at 1650x1050? Or even the next lowest down?
Being legally blind makes small user interfaces and small fonts very hard to play for me. Regardless, improving the game for me the best you can will just make the game better for virtually everyone else.
Peace.
