While I appreciate their patch and their support in general I'm really irritated (to be modest) by their non-action in context of the fuzzy font bug that seems to apply to all gamers playing with resolutions higher than full HD. It seems that it has been around since BlG1 and hasn't been adressed.

Daedalic claims they were not able to reproduce it. They can't fix what they can't reproduce.

I've read as much. But look at the forums thread. They don't ask for configurations, diagnosis files or anything else. Besides I haven't heard of a single gamer playing with higher resolution without this bug. That of course doesn't mean there aren't any, but generally I feel ignored.

I have a 27 (2,560x1,440) inch monitor and played bg1 (haven't played bg2 but will eventually); and didn't notice an issue with fonts. What is 'hd' resolution ?

And did you actually play it with the monitor's native resolution or was it scaled?

What is 'hd' resolution ?
A resolution with 1080 horizintal lines is commonly refered to as Full HD.

Yes, I also find their support quite unimpressive as far as this issue is concerned.
