SWTOR - How to change font size

[pcaltabiano]

So I recently finished my first pc build and wanted to check out this game and upon booting it up i notice the font size is so small i can't read a thing.
Does anyone know how to change the font size in the UI? Is there some kind of mod out there that changes this? At this point in time i consider this game worthless if i can't even read a single thing.
FYI, i'm playing on a 106 inch projector and am sitting back about 12ft.
Is there some kind of setting in my MSI R9 280X that i can change or is this an in-game problem?

It's easy press Esc (Escape) there is a user interface editor (can't remember the exact name though)

Inside there you can choose a layout (I think it's one of three default, classic, ect.) Now after you chose one now you can edit them and move them around/ make them larger. I am not sure if the missions/quest log's writing will be bigger but the other stuff use to enlarge.

You're welcome

I messed around with the UI last night and it mentioned font size of 30 but it seemed to me like the text was still too small. When i hover mouse over weapons/inv to see what things are, i can't read a thing.

Try lowering your resolution (1024x 768) might help then it will make your text larger (keep in mind that aspect ratio might not work ideally with your screen size so keep it relevant to screen type)

What I mean by that is if you have a wide screen use a wide screen aspect ratio

It's a 1080p projector so my current setup is 1920x1080.
I'm able to resize all fonts and everything through windows 8.1 and that looks fine on the screen but it's just this game; oh and Origin. Origin doesn't seem to have big screen mode like Steam.
If I can't get this resolved, does anyone have a suggestion for another MMORPG? I've never played one before and with the new PC i'd like to give it a try.
Thanks in advance to all responses!

Rift is a good free one.

World of warcraft is free up until level 20

Guild Wars 2 is a good one, but its not free

I ended up sticking with SWTOR. This game is a blast.
What fixed my issue on the eyes was buying a pair of Gunnar glasses. These things are incredible!!! This was an INSTANT fix to all issues i've had with straining to read text in games.
I recommend them to any gamer.
