I seriously do not understand why is this such a hard thing to implement. Two patches and two failures. Add a simple text-size slider, so we can change the text size on the Inventory/Character-building menus. The embedded scrolling function will prevent it from overflowing, so design is not an issue here.
Please, listen to your users. This is completely ruining a game that I think would otherwise be fairly enjoyable to me.
Thanks for the other updates though.
