Single Player Game Setup (shows overlapping text)

All of the text in Sins of a Solar Empire, is rendered too large.  This applies
to the in-game HUD, annotations, and the menus.

I am not the first to find this bug, I first saw it here, with a bit of a
workaround.

The game has a Font directory that contains 4 .ttf files and 34 .font files. 
The .font files are just text and look like a way for the game to access a
named combination of a height and .ttf file.

This is an example of a .font file:

-----------
TXT
Font
                Height 28
                TypeFaceName "SinsAgencyBold"
-----------

SinsAgencyBold.ttf is in the Font directory.

This particular system of font indirection seems pretty straightforward and
non-OS-specific, so I don't think it is the main issue here.  At the end of the
forums.stardock.com link above, there is a workaround that involves editing the
Height values in the various .font files.

This workaround helps a bit, but it would be nice if it just worked like in
Windows! :)
