Suggestion: Increase font size a smidge for targeted modules

I'm not sure if there a way to increase font size in the UI , but at a glance both 0% & 8% health left on a module (e.g drives) looks extremely similar to the point i sometimes think I've incapacitated the drives when i haven't. The health bar of the module also leads one to believe that the module is incapacitated at a glance. An easy fix would be to increase the number font size a bit. There are probably eagle eyed people whom can see the difference, but at a glance it seems a bit to small the font size here. Overall just a minuscule criticism, but would be a neat quality of life feature if the font can be increased if it cannot already be done through the game options.

Below is an example of what i mean.

1st picture Drives at 0%
139216


2nd picture Drives at 8%
139217


2nd picture drives at 8% enlarged through photoshop
139218


Edit: I can see all other numbers fine, its just 0% & 8% that from a glance look so similar its hard to tell the difference.

Is there a key that would zoom in. I think I had that setup once. So you could view something closer. Also some of the Headtracker or VR you can Zoom in when you lean in.

What resolution and FoV are you using? Also, any sort of AA or post processing that would blur the image?
 
@Lestat Yeah my friend got VR, think his okay with seeing the numbers a bit clearer. I'd have to look through options again, see if i can isolate this with a panel & a zoom using a macro, but would make life a bit easier in combat if the font was just ever so slightly a smidge bigger. I mean its not the end of the world, just a very minor criticism tbh, i usually lean right into my screen tbh with my monocle on that tends to do the trick somewhat. Its just at a glance i have that element of doubt on if I've incapacitated the module.

@Morbad my resolution is 1920 x 1080, i'll check graphic settings to see what i have there now, to see if i have AA on, but i think everything it set to the max there atm. Field of Vision? hmmmm i'll see if that in the graphic settings

edit: yeah i think field of view 'somewhat' solves it, would still be tricky to see but it brings it a bit closer, but comes at a high price of losing on screen situational awareness/view, so its not something i'm willing to sacrifice there tbh. I mean its only the 0% & 8% that look extremely similar to each other, all other numbers i can make out just fine at a glance, its only when i knock down a module to 8% that i struggle to distinguish if its 8 or 0. My current field of view is set the default btw, never knew about it before.

I'd like this data to be displayed when looking at the ship. Just put it under the name so I don't have to look down. In fact, just replace the name if I've targeted a module. I don't care about the name.
