Comment (by dfabulich):

 Seems like it's not just my machine doing this.
 https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/hunting-shadows-the-making-of-
 gabriel-knight https://episodiccontentmag.com/wp-
 content/uploads/2015/09/gk1conversation.png This screenshot shows a large
 S.

 The French screenshots on https://www.scummvm.org/screenshots/sierra/gk/
 show a more reasonable-sized S (but the S still looks kinda weird, IMO).

 It'd be awesome if ScummVM had a feature to support high-resolution text
 in Gabriel Knight. That way, instead of trying to draw a lowercase letter
 S inside a 4x5 pixel grid (which simply can't be done well, as far as I
 know), ScummVM could draw letters inside an 8x10 grid, which would look a
 lot nicer.
