Is there a way to change the font size of the screen (not chat font)? 1920x1200 makes some of the info and displays text a bit small.
Thanks Habaticus

You can set it to 12 pt instead of 10 pt with the steps above, and that's about it.
People have asked for bigger fonts a while ago, and they played with the fonts a little, then decided against adding more options. If I remember correctly, true type fonts were creating issues with the EVE windows and frames (and looked ugly), and the devs prefer the small fonts as part of the overall look and feel of the game client.
Anyway.

If only I had a way to force all the devs to only use my 2560 x 1600 monitor

One of the main issues with a larger font seems to be that it breaks when displayed in many of EVE's windows. At least, I seem to remember seeing something like that when someone once managed to replace the fonts in EVE with larger ones on his computer. It was more unusable as the current font would be on a larger screen. I think the windows just don't scale at all to accommodate the increased font size.

No.
I play all other games in existence in 1600x1200. My late-2005 computer can easily handle this, usually even with graphics settings set to high quality, without any visual lag. Including World of Warcraft.
Only with one single game am I forced to downrez to 1152x864, and for the sole reason that I want to be able to read the text on the effing screen. That one game, that one game with the exceptionally, singularly crappy user interface, is EVE Online.
I have plenty of GPU processing power to run the new Trinity graphics in 1600x1200. All that is keeping me back is the font size. Nothing else.
