What platform are you running Path of Building on?

Windows

How is Path of Building expected to behave?

Font should scale and not be blurry when using 2k or 4k (I am using 4k) screens, when using windows magnifier feature (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-the-size-of-text-in-windows-1d5830c3-eee3-8eaa-836b-abcc37d99b9a#:~:text=apps%20in%20Windows.-,To%20change%20your%20display%20in%20Windows%2C%20select%20Start%20%3E%20Settings%20%3E,menu%20under%20Make%20everything%20bigger.)

How does Path of Building behave?

Font is very blurry and hard to read

How to reproduce the issue
  1. Use windows
  2. Have 2k/4k screen
  3. Use windows "zoom" feature https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-the-size-of-text-in-windows-1d5830c3-eee3-8eaa-836b-abcc37d99b9a#:~:text=apps%20in%20Windows.-,To%20change%20your%20display%20in%20Windows%2C%20select%20Start%20%3E%20Settings%20%3E,menu%20under%20Make%20everything%20bigger.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Windows with a 2K or 4K display and Windows Magnifier enabled, using the screenshots as the visual reference. Trace the application's font and display-scaling entry points; done means text remains sharp and readable rather than blurry when magnification is active.
