Font sizes in Desktop Properties

[dpasek]

How can I get more font size selections in the drop down menu for:
Display Properties: Appearance: Font size.
The drop down menu lists only "Normal"
I am using "Windows Classic style" with Brick color scheme.
I need some larger font size selections.

The article:
http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/appearance.aspx
mentions that this selection exists but I cannot find any info to suggest
how to add additional selections to the list. The article generally
reiterates the obvious and is not helpful about my question.

I need larger fonts for accessibility reasons.

Thanks

Select a different color scheme, some offer only Normal while others offer
alternate font sizes. You can change any colors, font size/color, etc. of the
scheme you choose via the Advanced button.

I know about the 'Advanced button, but it is a pretty lame tool. There are
only 18 items in the drop down menu for selecting desktop Items while
HKCU\Control Panel\Colors, (where the data is actually stored), contains 32
keys. So, apparently I will have to play around with registry values
directly using one of the existing color schemes as a template.

Does anyone know where to find info on creating color schemes or desktop
themes from scratch?

Thanks
