Yep, there isn't a built-in way to do it because this is like 1996 or something, but here's a way to edit a config file to get a font that is readable on a high resolution screen:

I set my font sizes for 20, and I think that will work.
I got back from 2 weeks of vacation and my font is small again. I guess it must have updated and overwrote my changes.

I have never noticed a small font.

When I lean back in my chair my eyes are about 3 feet from my screen, and I can barely read the letters of the standard font. Need to focus and concentrate to make them out. No good when I am gaming and need to glance over and read something.
I have high resolution settings, your mileage may vary. I know how you like 640x480 so it probably isn't an issue with you.

If that's the case, you'd better research something more permanent. Steam updates every two days.

640 x 480 is all the VGA driver will allow. You get different numbers?

The bit about their conversion rate, that's not necessarily crazy impressive. See, they put in some REALLY good deals in the store awhile back: you can get a hat and the older first set of alternate weapons for each class for 99 cents each. That's quite a value for a newish player. Especially when you consider that people are now trained by Apple to toss 99 cents around for digital goods without a second thought.

Going to stop putting my trust in online companies with my credit cards. They obviously can't be trusted.
I got dinged by the Sony fiasco, and now this. Starting to get nervous about Amazon having my credit card numbers.

For a long time now I've been meaning to get a "online card".
Basically, get a card with $1000 limit or something in that range. An amount that allows me to spend freely, but that I could cover in case of emergency.
Then for any and ALL online transactions I'd use that card ONLY.
Of course, the flaw in my plan is that your credit card is even more vulnerable when you hand it over to any waitress, sales clerk, etc.
Point being that the credit card is the weak point, not the sites with your info.

STEAM HOLIDAY SALE HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Portal 2 is $7.50.
They seem to be having some issues though because the prices change if you refresh the screen. Portal 2 was both 75% and 50% off and my wish list games prices were jumping around also. So just double check how much you are paying.

This is the most wonderful time of the year for gamers.
I recommend Limbo and Bastion at $5 and under!!!

Takes forever and several reloads to get the items in your cart, and after the 2nd attempt to check out and pay for my items which failed, and cleared out my cart for me, I am going to stop trying for now.
