Does Vista handle font size better than XP?

[cr113]

As monitor resolution continues to improve it seems to me that Windows
software is not quite keeping up. My 19" LCD monitor is 1280 X 1024. I
don't like to sit right next to my monitor so I have to increase the
font size to compensate for the extremely fine resolution. I use
Display Properties/Settings/Advanced and increase the DPI setting to do
this. About 80% of the time it works great but the other 20% weird
stuff happens like overlapping text.

Has Vista addressed this problem?

Your issue is likely associated with your video adapter.
What is the make and model?

I believe you'll be quite pleased with the manner in which
Windows Vista utilizes display resolutions, especially since
your have a ATI Radeon X1300PRO video card. There
is a huge enhancement of clarity with Vista.
