Ok. I've switched to 1600x1250 for my Windows resolution. I did as suggested with the Windows setting - enlarging text/icons to medium (125%). Now everything is readable, well, everything except my gadgets. Now I'm finally able to play GalCiv 3 --- Yae!!! Thank you guys for all the help [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e]
The reason i go with 1280x960 normally is because everything is larger on my desktop; my vision isn't what it used to be. Since my last post I've discovered that Nvidia's GeForce Experience doesn't support any of the GalCiv games. I'm sure there must be some way (?) to switch resolutions without having to do it manually every time I want to play GalCiv 3.
I changed the resolution in the game options menu to the highest resolution the game offered me - 1600x1250 - and it didn't make any difference after a restart.

My monitor has never has any issues in the 6 years I've had it. Every bit of software/video and my 50+ gaming library all look terrific. Galciv 3 is the only lemon as far as text goes.
My UI was on small so I upped it to medium which is the only option available at my resolution. It didn't make any difference. I found the root cause of the poor font visibility isn't the font itself. Text which can be dragged (ie. tooltips) reveals the much deeper problem. When you drag text boxes, the text "vibrates" in clarity. Depending on WHERE text is located on the screen, there is a 50/50 chance of it being illegible. It
I play the game at 1280x960 and it is hard for me to read the text. The letter shapes are inconsistent: The letter "O" looks like a "C" most of the time. The letter "U" looks like a reverse "L" most of the time. The letter "I" is frequently gray and barely visible. Portions of other letters are gray instead of white I used my Windows 7 TTF adjustment procedure, but it doesn't make any difference. From a co that sell
