make all text larger mod

heya, i have a crt sdtv 32" that i'm playing eq2 on. every bit of text is incredibly blurry, and completely unreadable. on my reg comp monitor, i found that there are some options to increase text size (chat and bubbles), but i desperatly need larger text on the Map, Quest log, Quest helper thing in uper right corner, Skills/spells/combar arts/etc page, Backpacks, Inventory, Persona, and all the text that you get when you hold the mouse over a item/spell/skill/etc.

if possible, i'd like the size to be about the same size as the max bubble message size, which is in the options.

EDIT: i found a way to get the pop-up things when you have your mouse over a item/skill/etc to be larger. now all that's missing is the map text, quest journal, quest helper, and persona. those simply can't be enlargened in the game by normal means. i tried everything

What kind of connection is between your computer and your display?

The only simple answer is to try playing at a lower resolution.

Ok, so this is a normal TV then?

In general a television will never be able to display computer text clearly. NTSC video only has 486 horizontal lines of resolution and a good portion of those are cut off the edges from overscan. An NTSC TV could possibly display 640x480 but even that would be blurry compared to a computer screen.

S-Video connected to a TV is fine for watching DVDs and playing console games but it's not going to allow you to read computer text. Only a dedicated computer monitor or HD TV has enough resolution.
