UI misshapen at 3840x2160: Text too large and abbreviated, too few buttons

Edit Simon: Split off topic: Some ideas.

I play 4K hardware full screen (the only way it goes 60fps), and the text is so big that many words are truncated, having a selection of big and small would be enough.

UI text: Here are two screenshots of the problem, check the version number, or the number of the skills in the edit screen only showing one digit.

This is an interesting case for the high end of graphical capabilities running Lix. Does the Software or Hardware fullscreen options not help alleviate this at all?
When you say text, is it all text? Or is it just the level names or just the information outside the boxes in the main menus?


I then wrote:

Thanks, these screenshots overthrow some assumptions about the text width. In 2023, I've widened a few fields, but it looks like they're still too small overall. Or the text width doesn't scale linearly with the field size; it looks like the text width grows faster.

What is your exact resolution in these screenshots? You mentioned that you play in hardware fullscreen on a 4K monitor. I've never properly tested these enormous resolutions, I thought people would prefer windowed on large monitors.

I'll reply to the other things these days!

4K is usually 3840x2160. (Exactly double 1080p in both dimensions.)
