Is there any way to make the interface, or at least font bigger? Right now, I have a really hard time reading anything. I'm playing in 1280x800 and using New Vision + HDTP + Enhanced.
I've tried to change between "Default GUI" and "Non-scaling GUI" in Kentie's launcher but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I also tried something called "UI Size Fix" but that didn't work either. Any other ideas?

Ok, it's the UI fix that's spoiling it for you, basically.
Vanilla DX has a terrible UI that doesn't scale at all (literally pixel for pixel matching), so as screen resolution increases, the UI gets smaller.
Originally they implemented a fix around this that meant that above a certain res (1280x1024, maybe?) it just flat out doubled in size (so pixel per 2 pixels). It didn't antialias or anything, it was just blocky, ugly pixels at doublesize.
What the UI fix does is...stop this happening, so the resolution continues shrinking as the screen res increases. Most people found that this was vastly preferable to the horrific blocky mess that took up so much screen area. Ideally we'd have a UI that actually scaled, but that isn't the option they went for, and coding one in would be a nightmare at this point.
So somewhere in your launch options you should presumably have OTPUIfix listed (or similar: I haven't used kentie's launcher coz I'm too oldskool), which you DON'T want to load. It sounds like you have a variety of options, but I'm unfamiliar with many of them. You may need to disable a combination of them.
Failing that, you could do it the old fashioned way via ini hacking, but that might be more tricky, depending on how you're loading things.
