Adjust the size of text in quest window

in New Legacy
I am playing on a larger widescreen monitor and i cant find a way to increase the size of the test from the people giving me quests.  It is almost tiny for me and I have to move myself closer to the screen to read the dialog.  Is there a way to do this, or can this be implemented in the future?

    I just gave up on trying to read it.  For a text based game I would expect something much more legible than what I saw in NL.  With my reading glasses the white text on the black background, or the blue one is still almost illegible.  Struggling to read the NL text every night is not for me, especially when there is so much of it.  Hope you have better luck with than I did.  Note: if it’s a quest, you quest log more legible.  Maybe give it a try if you have not already.

    There's not a great way of doing this in any of the clients, but maybe try using the Windows Magnifier tool. On a Windows 11 machine it should be already bound and activated by pressing your Windows key and + key together. It'll zoom in quick to wherever your cursor currently is at.

    It just seems like this could be easily implemented.  I should not have to make modifications to windows to be able to read text in a game.  The player base has stuck with this game since the late 90's so it should be expected that the majority of players would be older than the new players.  Please if you are reading this developers, make the text size and colors adjustable to allow your player base to enjoy the game as designed.  You have people hard at work designing and writing the dialog.  I don't want to have to just skip it.

    Acknowledgment and accountability go a long way...
