To use larger or smaller display fonts
- Open Display in Control Panel.
- On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
- On the General tab, in the Font Size list, click the font setting you want used for system fonts.
- If you choose Other in the Font Size list, you can set custom options in Custom Font Size by either selecting one of the percentage options in the drop-down list or clicking on the ruler and dragging the pointer to specify a font size.
Note
-
To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon.
- You will be prompted to install the new fonts and restart your computer to apply any changes.
- The font size you specify on the General tab affects all video adapters on your system. You can still change font settings for individual window items on the Appearance tab, but your choices will reflect the size of the display font you specified.
