    font size is small in IE9(BETA) and Windows Explorer (SP1Beta)


    IE9(BETA) and Windows Explorer (SP1Beta)

    dunno how I managed to do it, but the font size showing in Tabs and in the right-click drop-down menus has suddenly got really small..!!

    anyone know how I can adjust the size of the font..??

    is that where you get the option to go small/medium/large on the display size..??

    I tried that
    - it works on everything but the items I mentioned above
    - they remain miniscule what ever size I choose there....

    it's not that DPI thingy is it..??

    it is probably something specific to those Betas. But since I do not use them, I cannot tell. Maybe someone else who uses the Betas would know.

    this looks like the same sort of problem:

    Help: Adjust Font Size (dpi) issue - Vista Forums

    - yeah, I know it's Vista - the problem's the same though..

    - isn't there an interface somewhere, where you can adjust these properties?

    hunting through the Tutorials I found one that advised changing fonts etc here.
    font size is small in IE9(BETA) and Windows Explorer (SP1Beta)-windows7fonts_etc.jpg

    - to get here I had to select a non-aero theme..

    then I noticed that the aberrant system font sizes had been restored when I tried the non-aero theme in IE9
    - the tab font-sizes were also restored, as was the right-click context menu, etc..

    - seems that just switching from aero and back out again solved the problem..

    ..which is a bit spooky..



    - PROBLEM SOLVED??
