Large font in game windows (NOT just chat) for visually impaired?

I have a friend who is struggling to read very small text in the game windows, particularly Wentworth's and the like. Is there some way to increase the text size?

Particularly without inflating the overall window size using "window scale" settings?

Edit: trying the window scale change does make it more readable for her, but inflated windows are a problem, so we're hoping for something more elegant.

Thanks!

Options -> General tab -> Chat -> Chat Font Size

I don't think it affects all text, but it at least changes what's in your chat window.

EDIT: It does NOT affect the AE or Market windows. Looks like it's just chat that's affected.
EDIT2: Which makes perfect sense, when you consider the name of the option.

Depending on the size of her monitor, see if she's willing to lower her resolution. This will effectively increase the size of all the 2-D elements, though the game might not look as pretty (but if she's hard of seeing, that might not be a huge issue)

Something else you might try is looking up the old TweakCoH program. I believe that had a setting to change the default font size in the font options
