Fixed fonts at high res

[R Murphy]

Hi

I run an XP SP2 Win desktop at 1600x1200, and find that some text is too
small, and not able to be changed with the control panel - input boxes
sometimes, for example. My theory is that they still use the bitmap .fon
fonts. Is there a way to alter this behaviour? Unfortunately if my theory is
correct it'd involve sourcing or making replacement bitmaps I'd guess.

Thanks
Rob Murphy

Under 'Display Properties', 'Appearance' there should be an option to
specify the font size. See if you can pick a larger size.

Alternatively, under 'Display Properties', 'Appearance', 'Advanced' you
can set the fonts and sizes for various Windows regions.

Use Classic desktop instead of a Theme in the Display app (control panel),
then the appearances, advanced tab, Item drop box settings will take.
