    FFXI Player/NPC Names Appear Stretched

    I'm having problems with player/NPC names appearing stretched, including the linkshell, mentor, etc. logo next to the names. I have all my display and resolution settings configured properly and everything looks absolutely crystal clear perfect except the stretched, fuzzy names.

    My Overlay resolution is set at 1360x768 (same as desktop). Background resolution is at 1024 x 1024. Aspect ratio is at 16:9. Using a 32" Wide Screen Monitor and my Graphics Card is a Geforce 8500GT.

    When i checked, my Graphics card is not supported. Could this be the problem? I find it hard to believe that everything else displays and runs perfectly except player/npc names. I mean, i don't expect the names to be the same resolution as background graphics, but it looks pretty ridiculous, barely readable. It's almost as if the names are displayed in a really low resolution which i have no way of changing. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I actually tried changing the aspect ratio to all possible options. while changing my screen ratio none of the settings changed how the names appeared.

    try a different resolution then other than 1360x768.

    With a 32" monitor, you should be using a higher rez imo.

    Well, in the Monitor Manual 1360x768 is the recommended resolution and it looks good. I tried changing it around a bit. All it did was change my Overlay resolution (menu's, chat windows, etc.) but had no effect on the actual names of the players or NPC's. It seems like none of the actual resolutions and settings i can use and change has any effect on how names are displayed. that's why i'm so confused.
