  1. #1

    Question Windows font problem

    I re-installed Win95 on my comp, (I'm getting XP in a month) and I encountered a problem I had never seen before, the font size was different. I tried looking un display, setting and it was set on small fonts. I am not sure if I am making a lot sense here, so plz look at the pic I have attached. Thanks.

    Pic explanation: The winace setup screen takes up all of my screen.

    Try setting the original window theme. It should be in one of the tabs of the display-settings as well.

    I'm not sure if this exists in win95 (it does in 98, I think), but in "Display Options" (in your display settings) there's a tab called "Appearance." There, you can select a "Scheme" from a dropbox. Select "Windows Standard" or something resembling that.

    Nope, schemes like that don't exist in Win95, I have seen them in 98. I thought it might be the accessibility options, so I made sure they were off and then took off that whole option. I loaded the same screen drivers as I normally do, and I don't really see how those affect the fonts. Still wonderin what ta do. Thanks guys.

    Go to your Start menu > Settings > Control Panel > Display

    Click on the Apperances Tab and select the arrow in the Scheme field. A cascading menu will appear. Scroll down until you find the desired font size settings, you can preview it in the window. And go ahead and select OK when you're finished.

    You can do the same thing by right clicking on the area of the desktop and selecting properties.

    If that doesn't work, try changing your desktop area resolution, by right clicking again in the blank area of the desktop, choosing Properties > Settings tab and moving the Desktop area pointer either left or right.
