For me this is definitely not the case, unfortunately - playing on a laptop screen making out the text on the geoscape (or the tooltips for that matter) is still a big strain...
EDIT: @Chris: Could you make the tooltips use the same font size as the Xenopedia does since it has been last updated? That would relieve the situation a bit at least as far as the tooltips are conerned....
EDIT: The same goes for the news area at the bottom of the geoscape. Any chance to up the font size here as well?
