I had this problem in the first game as well. The font is way too small, and I have a very difficult time reading it. As of yet I've found no way to change it. It's not just my eyes either.
The TV I'm using is older and it's not a flatscreen, but even when I hook up my Xbox to the HDTV it's still too small. It's almost like it's small and blurry at the same time and no matter what I do I can barely read it. So anytime text comes on the screen I usually miss what it says. It's extremely frustrating.
No, I've not tried it that way. I'm probably just going to have to live with it like I did in the first one. These are the only games I have trouble with.
It's one of those things that you can ignore after a while, but then later on you figure out a nice shortcut or little bit of information that would have made playing the game a whole lot easier, but you had no idea because you couldn't read the damn font.
Pain in my ass, but it's worth it I guess.
I know this sounds Like im being rude here, But I suggest Buying a new T.V if not Check if your T.V has resolution options to make it more stretchy, Otherwise try what Morth said and get a HDMI cable
