Damn, I should have tried that, but didn't. Thanks for the quick reply, it's tough to play when you can't read.

I am playing on my 46" TV and sitting about 8 feet away from the screen. At this distance, I have a hard time seeing the chat box. I looked through the settings and couldn't find any way to enlarge the text, so is there a way to do that, whether through game mechanics, or through a mod?
