Font size for 4K monitor

[unifex]

Hi, quick question, how do I change the font size without scaling any other desktop elements?

I am struggling to make Windows 7 look good on a 4K monitor. Somehow Windows 10 works just fine on the same monitor, same video card. If I go the standard route Control Panel -> Display -> Make things smaller or larger then the scaling settings affects everything - windows borders, desktop icons, etc. Setting at 150% makes all the icons and stuff about the right size, but the fonts are too small in many places. Back in the day (say Windows 2K) one could set all fonts individually, but now in Windows 7 lots of them are locked together. Is there a nice way to sort this out or am I forgetting something simple?

What is the actual screen size? Anything under 40" makes the icons look small on 4k, so you have to use dpi scaling, which is what you said you have done.

You do not mention screen resolution on either OS - is this because you've taken the setting for granted, or do you know for sure that they are the same?

If you still wanted to customise Windows font size, you can do it this way :ar: Fonts - Change . Caution, however, in using this tip, is that fonts might not fit the window, after applying any customisation.
