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.

My condolences, that can't be the most fun reading experience.
Nice to
see that you're managing through it.

Rene is a perfect example of the type of folks I'm trying to find
ways
to help them view a computer screen.Â* So, I'm hoping Rene isn't
getting
a bit frustrated with the questions I'm pestering him with.



Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Not at all Ken, by the way, in Windows 10 Ease Of access
we now
have a
means of altering text size with one slider.
Also altering the size and color of the cursor, which is a great
help.

I've seen the slider, and wonder if that doesn't replace the 100%,
125%,
and 150% settings.Â* The slider is on my to do list for checking out.

As for the cursor, that's been around a long time.Â* I always set
mine,
and others, or extra large inverted.


This time the cursor size is also on a slider with infinite size
choice,
up to about 1 inch high(that's a little too big) :-)Â* I also use
inverted which makes it easier to find.

OK, I think you told me what connection you are currently using, and
what your options are, with the cables you have in hand.

But, I can't find that info.

I think Asus has the wrong info on their website.Â* If the native
resolution is 16:9, you should not have 1920X1200 in your list.
That's
the native resolution of my 24" 16:10 monitor.

Are you currently connecting HDMI to HDMI?

With the cables you have in hand, what are your other connection
options?

This whole thing is not "smelling" right, if you follow what I mean.



I am now running HDMI to HDMI

I have Dispklayport to HDMI cable
I have HDMI to VGA cable

Since My new build I am running AMD 5 3400g CPU with Vega 11 video on
CPU which gives me HDMI and Displayport outputs.

Drat.Â* I was hoping you had something that would take HDMI totally out
of the equation.

Got any friends with something you could borrow?


No,All of my friends are now all gone, I built my sons but his too has
only Display-port and HDMI, Everything seems to have swung in that
direction.

So, no VGA to VGA option either.Â* :-(

Well, I'm at a loss as to any other way to test for true resolution of
the monitor, after my experiences with HDMI.

My hypothesis is, if we remove HDMI from this equation, you'll get a
different list of possible resolutions, with 1200 being the default for
the vertical resolution.

What about an older build with other video output options?



Sold both of my older builds on Kijiji, since selling house and moving
into an apartment space is at a premium, unused stuff has gotta go.
Anyway it all works and seeing it doesn't do any harm I guess I'll just
leave it a mystery. Thanks for trying to sort it out.
