OK, I understand better.
The game was originally designed for 600x800 and some people complained that the stretching and small icons/fonts at newer, wider resolutions was too small to read so I hardcoded a factor into the scripts for the land/sea displays. For better treatment, I copied an option from ERAS to this version that will allow you to rescale those, separate from the screen resolution where you can choose the scaling factor with a slider.
Update the COAS scripts from the Itch update, load your saved game, go to Options, click HUD button lower right, and slide left to a value closer to 1.0 (you can go lower if you want). It does not take effect immediately, but if you are at sea, just enter your ship cabin, then exit.
Here is .77
