Ok, TomVal, that helps a bit with a few of your points.
Font size should be increased, but it's not 100% feasable unless we can increase the size it uses of the screen too, or at some point you're going to have 5 letters. Really, the whole KI chat system needs an overhaul (me I play City of Heroes, and theirs is wonderful.. but I think all MMOs have far better chat systems than this one which while usable is approaching a decade old)
There is a way to tell what you can click on... if you have good eyes (yeah, your point, I know). The cursor, normally a hollow circle, gets a dot in the center when it's over something you can click on (be it an explorer to highlight their name in the ki, interface items to bring up/use, or objects in the world). Is the cursor hard-coded? Would it be possible to just simply have it change colour drastically so it'd be more noticable when it changed? Then you could just walk towards whatever it highlighted since it already works at a distance.
Shortcut keys, I think there's a reference here somewhere.. but no, there's no good official one. As for not opening the PDF, dunno, ask the person who made it?
Static imager screens often can't be panned, by any means whatsoever. There's a functional engine reason for many of those, and some was a design decision (and sometimes that changes, like the spyroom's telescope which was obviously going to pan a bit at one point before they removed that). IF however you can, there's a way. Hold the right mouse button in the view, and move the mouse. If it pans, it will. If it doesn't, it doesn't so you won't get keys to let you do so.
Subtitles: Yes. Once more, yes. However, adding them will probably have to wait till open source, there's likely nothing in the engine we could do for it, not even a famous ki-hack. Though perhaps a few python hacks, once we're able to touch the python for the game...
As for monitor, yeah. Sorry about that, but it's part of how it works, it affects the whole desktop. If the game is fullscreen the gamma slider 'works' (as in it goes from pitch black to dark to washed out) but doesn't help. Seriously, I had to use my older laptop just recently.. and I noticed a dramatic change in everything. The old one never could make textures bright even when I tweaked like mad of the settings and got everything washed out and foggy (tetsonot was always useless to me, light or no light). The new one however is bright and vibrant without having to change settings. I suspect it's related to using shadows and texture filtering/quality or something (my card does ASF by default even if the game doesn't ask for it)
