"Ok, I have wesnoth up and running. One problem I can see immediately is the readability. My eyes aren't what they were 10 years ago."

There used to be an actual control for this in the preferences dialog box, but it was removed just before version 1.14 was released (because of bugs in the feature).

Re: Increasing game UI text size
Oh well. I bet it'll come back when more of the devs start needing it too
