I'm trying to run an old PC Game on Windows 10, but the fonts do not display correctly.  Because of the nature of this game and that the fonts are a necessary part to be able to read I am trying to find a resolve to this issue.  I have tried this game in different compatibility settings, but it still doesn't fix the problem.

    I'm not clear if you have gone past the games setup screens and can't read the text in the game, or if you are having

    a problem with the image as soon as you launch the game.

    If the game is not fitting to the screen properly when you first launch it, try using the Change High DPI Settings option in the Compatibility tab.

    This will re-scale the game correctly and should improve text clarity in the process.

    Hi Karen

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    Have you tried lowering your screen resolution to see if it helps?

    First, try restarting your graphics driver:

    Press Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B

    If that does not work...

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Properties

    Click Driver tab

    Click Rollback driver if the option is available

    If not

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Uninstall

    Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.”

    Exit Device Manager

    Restart

    Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

    You might need to update the display driver from the manufacturer of your computers website.

    If you have an nVidia, AMD ATI video card or Intel HD graphics installed, you can download the latest drivers from their website.

    First, determine what type of graphics you have installed.

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Once you have determined the graphics driver, go the vendors website and search for the driver in the download section:

    Intel - Downloads for Graphics Drivers - Drivers & Software - Intel

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/...

    nVidia - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

    AMD ATI - Download Drivers - AMD Support

    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

    Some of these sites offer autodetect options.
