All,

I got a strange request from my boss, he want to up the
font size in the OS to resolve a usability issue for our
customers. A quick google search on the topic generated
no meaningful results, ditto for a search on the
newsgroup. So I am asking here. Does anyone know where
I would set such a thing? We want to stay with our
current fonts, just want to have the bas font size larger.

Many thanks in advance,
David

David,

Unless you want to change your display settings (ChangeDisplaySettingsEx API),
what OS font you want to change? There is quite a few settings. Check out [HKCU\Control Panel\Appearance] key ("Win32 API - User"
component).

Slobodan,

Many thanks, changing the dpi will actually cause other
problems, but thank you. I will keep looking.

KM,

Many thanks! As usual, your response is very informative.
I will take a look at this area, and then tell my boss
what we can do. And find out if there is a specific font
that is being referenced in the application to modify!
