Want Smaller Font Size

[Jonathan Wood]

I've bought a new Dell computer with Vista.

I found where I can change the font DPI. However, I'm only able to make the
font bigger and not smaller. The main dialog has a choice of 96 (the
default) or 120 DPI. And if I go into Custom DPI, I cannot go any smaller
than 100%. If I enter less than 100%, it just changes back to 100%. And I
can drag the ruler to the right but not the left.

Looking at my old XP machine, I see it allows me to go smaller than 100%.
Any ideas why Vista is preventing this?

Thanks for any tips.

Thanks for the tip. It seems like that is different than changing the DPI
though. I may play with it some more when I get some more time but I'm
pretty certain it wouldn't affect all the fonts in the same way.
