Hello
I had the Huge Text bug and I've found a way to fix it.
I've uninstalled the game and suppressed the save directory.
I have configured My Windows XP services in the SAFE mode as described here http://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
I have suppressed the fonts in the Windows/FONTS/ named AgencyB AgencyR and ARIALUNI.
I have done a complete install of Freelancer and now it's ok!!
Bad bug!
I hope this can help.
