I don't know if I have mentioned this in this thread, but here is a very
useful utility to change individual font sizes.

Are you referring to Advanced System Font Size Changer?

I have that installed on my W10 system, but of course, does nothing for
text you've entered into a word processor, for instance.

I've noticed that sometimes, when you switch to different fonts, the
design of the font will no longer fit into a field that you populate.

Both of these problems are solved with out any tweaking by simply
lowering the screen resolution.Â* But as I mentioned, you do need a
larger monitor, unless you already own one.


Yes, and yes it has some drawbacks and is only helpful for certain things.
I had a 23" IPS monitor but due to my very poor eyesight I have now
switched to a 27" Asus IPS which helps a lot
I suffer from Albinism, astigmatism and Nystagmus Which gives me about
20/240 with my glasses on I don't know what it is without glasses.
I look at my monitor from a distance of about 6 inches so it involves a
lot of head swiveling, but I manage.

Could I ask you for a favor?

Would you set your screen resolution to the next lower resolution that
is listed in your screen display options, and let me know if it is any help?

My monitors are 24", and switching from 1920X1200 to 1600X1000 works
well for me, and now I just never notice I'm not at optimum resolution.

"Optimum" is a crappy word to be used the way MS and the manufacturers
use it. "Optimum" is what works best for the user.
