-===== Fix =====
 High DPI support was never added to Wurm Unlimited, but with a little tweaking you can adjust font size to higher resolutions.

 * I've found that 2k (1440) works better for Wurm than trying to get the fonts to adjust correctly.  At 2k they are still what I would consider to be normal size.  I'm running Linux Mint as an OS.
