So I just purchased this bundle and eagerly installed Europa Universalis II and Hearts Of Iron II - HOWEVER the font size on my 1366x768 laptop is the worst I have ever had the misfortune to experience. In real terms is like 5 point Arial. Just eye wreckingly awful. On both games! So i've searched online for Font mods etc and there are none. And there is no config or game option to increase them. So i've uninstalled both - just a heads up if you are considering a purchase on these games.

PS - Europa Universalis II corrupted my Icon cache on my Win7 64bit system - so I've had to rebuild my icon cache after uninstalling. Pity.
I realize this post is a few years old, but just in case someone is turned off by the font size issue, let me say this. True, if you have a modern high-def display and set the screen resolution in the game to match your display's resolution, the fonts are going to appear very tiny. The font sizes and the game UI don't scale well with changes in the game's resolution settings.

However, if you're willing to live with a lower resolution setting in the game, the font sizes can be okay. For example, I have a 17" laptop with a screen resolution of 1920 by 1080. If I set the game's resolution to this value, the font is so tiny that you can barely read it with your face almost up to the screen. If, on the other hand, I set the in-game resolution to 1280 by 768 (which has an identical aspect ratio, by the way) I can read the text just fine. I notice no negative impact on the look and feel of the game by doing this.

So, if you've been thinking of trying out this game, but have been put off by the comments in the original post of this thread, just follow my suggestion above and I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised. This is a great grand strategy game. It would be a shame if people passed it by just because of the font issue that can easily be worked around.

Hope this helps!

[ADDENDUM] I should clarify that my comments above are in relation to the Eorpa Universalis III game (EU3). I don't have EU2, but I suspect the same trick should work for that game as well.
