The journal scales the font, but it doesn't allow the entries to exceed a single page. This becomes problematic when a journal entry is large. It won't display the entire entry and will cut it off as soon as it hits the bottom of the page. This is an obvious problem since important text will be lost. Especially directions since they are key to questing.
I've seen people recommend playing it on a very low resolution but I'd rather not. It looks awful at the 640X480 game default on a TV. So far this is the only thing preventing me from playing it. So I'm hoping someone on this forum can help.
