I am running a Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook with an I7 processor and 4 GB of RAM. It is currently running Windows 8.1 I just did a reinstall of Windows 8.1 and now my fonts are sooo small I literally have to put my face right up to the screen ( i mean really, like 18 inches } to read text in my programs. I honestly do not recall this being this bad before the reinstall I had been running I.E at 125% Zoom before but I was Able to read the menus and dialogue boxes in most of my programs like MS Word, Photoshop, Coreldraw, etc.

My Desktop is now running Windows 7 but had been running 2008 Server Both of which as I recall allow you to set the font size used in programs. Is that functionality gone in WINDOWS 8 – 8.1 ?
