Of course if rule the waves would use TrueType fonts instead of bitmapped fonts, you (and others with this issue) would not experience it with rule the waves.

Thank you for the potential solution you posted above, I will ask a computer savvy friend of mine about it. I don't really want to upgrade to windows 10, both because I don't particularly like the way the ui is played out (I tried it when it released but reverted to windows 7.) And I have a couple games that won't run of windows 10. Thanks anyway

I found the possible bug in windows 7, seems it is a windows installation issue. Basically what you select as 100% text size is actually 125% text size due to a windows 7 install bug. So what you see as 125% text size is probably about 156% text size?
However there are two issues:
1. The solution requires you to edit the registry, which is not beginner friendly and can seriously mess stuff up (it is perfectly safe as long as you do not stray from the path laid out in the solution). 2. You learned to live with that bug, and fixing stuff will of course change stuff.
At your own risk:

There is still the possibility to upgrade to windows 10, which has much fewer issues in general.
But that requires some tricks now, if you do not want to pay for the upgrade (completely legal and provided by microsoft itself, just not advertised and actively supported anymore).
And since you are not very well versed in the field, perhaps someone with more knowledge in that area can do it for you?
Good luck
So I used this method, and it WORKS!!!! Huzzah. Just means I will have to go down to 100% font to play RTW2 and back up to 125% for normal ops

Something to keep in mind when others have that issue.
And perhaps 1280x720 support, which also allows people with higher resolutions the use of one additional text scaling step. Just needs some tweaks to the set distances of some buttons, but would greatly help out with readability.
