WP X3: Display Shows Much Smaller Fonts
Dec 26, 2009
have a new problem with my reliable WP X3 for Windows. The display shows a much smaller font than I’m using. For instance, I generally use Times New Roman 12, but it shows up in the display about like a #8 font used to. When I print it out, the font is the size that it should be. (I changed to Arial 12 here)The type of font does'nt seem to make much difference. When I used Arial 12 it shows up a little larger, but not much. I have Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2. Is there a fix for this problem, short of up grading to a modern version of WP?

At some point in the far distant past I was playing around with fonts sizes and dpi settings to optimise the display for my father. I have done something that causes the shutdown options icon (the blue arrow point on the start menu bar) to be "chopped off" so to speak and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize it. The attached screenshot explains it more clearly.

My girlfriend has a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Vista Home Basic. I set up a second display (17" Hewlett Packard CRT) for her so that she could hook her laptop up, close it and look at the second display on her desk. All was working fine until she changed the resolution on the CRT, and somehow placed it in a setting that was OUT OF RANGE. I have subsequently tried unistalling the video drivers, graphics card, booting it in safe mode and changing the refresh rate, none of which works. It's also worth noting that the display funstions perfectly fine while the laptop lid is open, but reverts to OUT OF RANGE as soon as it is closed.

I am having trouble with a “big screen”. Sometime I’m supposed to click on something and it is off the screen at the bottom. Sometimes I can shrink it with Ctrl-Minus key but not always. How can I make the screen smaller and make it stay that way?

There was an easy way to do this in XP if I'm not mistaken, but I can't find the option in Vista Ultimate: I would like the icons on my Desktop to be smaller in size, as the icons of some of my older programs look grainy when enlarged as much as they are. How would I go about doing this? Changing the resolution has not particularly helped.

I am trying to attach pictures to an outgoing email and they are inserting into the email way too large. Is there a solution to this? I have tried using Microsoft Picture Gallery and creating an email that way, but it won't let me. Outlook had a "wizard" for pictures so it was really easy.

I need to install SR2 for Access 97 on Vista - Home Basic. While Access 97installs fine, there's a known problem installing SR2 on Vista. Theworkaround that I've come across involves temporarily replacing four Vistafonts (comic.ttf, comicbd.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahomabd.ttf) with thoseversions which come with SR2. This reportedly allows SR2 to be installed,after which the four Vista fonts are copied back to the Windows/Fontsfolder.
This procedure begins with copying those four Vista fonts to a temporaryfolder. I am unable to do this, however. If I use cntrl-c to copy andcntrl-v to paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. If I right-click on the font, the Copy command is not available. If I use Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. Vista will not allow full privileges for these fonts, even though I'm signed on as Administrator.

I cannot remove a file called tahoma. I guess this is the font that Vista uses? I recently installed Left 4 Dead and later uninstalled it. There was one folder named fonts that didn't got deleted. It contained fonts like arial, verdana and tahoma. I managed to delete all of them in safe mode except tahoma.
I know that you shouldn't delete fonts that the system is using but there is something wierd because it's not in my "fonts folder" from the controlpanel. And the fonts that I deleted succefully (verdana and arial etc.) is still in that folder, tahoma is also there so that's why I'm guessing that I could delete that the tahoma font in my left 4 dead folder without it causing my system any problems.

The huge number of fonts supplied with my version of Vista (don't know if they're all the same) makes for a very long list in the font box of most of my programs. In there are a WHOLE bunch of international fonts for languages I'll never need. But the system doesn't want to let me move them out of there into some other storage folder and/or delete them - it says I need permission. I looked at the security settings for those files and they are currently owned by "trusted installer". Administrators can't move or delete these files. As administrator, I can grant myself the permissions to let me move them. there is a warning message about possibly making harmful changes to the system. Is there any danger in doing this? Otherwise, any way to mask these fonts without uninstalling them?

Chris Pirillo has written a useful little reg hack that allows you to remap all of the fonts used in the Explorer interface to the new Segoe UI font. Make sure you make a backup of your registry before trying this one! ...

Does anyone know when/why MS gave us a bunch of fonts such as "Batang & BatangChe & Gungsuh & GungsuhChe" and "Microsoft YaHei?" There are many more of these strange looking font names in my fonts folder and each font takes up > 15,000,000 bytes. I tried to delete 1 or 2 of them but that's a no can do. Was there a specific "hotfix" we applied and what is/are the reason(s) for these fonts?

I have Vaio Z (1600x900 screen res) and Bravia LCD (1366x768 screen res). I have connected them via HDMI cable (dual screen mode) and it's working "fine".
However, when I view my Explorer/Firefox/Word.. on TV screen (using TV screen instead of laptop) fonts are jerky and hard to read. In Firefox fonts are jerky as well, however images are totally ok, also smiley icons in this forum are perfect .
But everything related to text is messed up/blurry/difficult to read.
I have tried following: in nVidia control panel set TV res to "native" 1366x768 but no changes.
Any idea how to resolve this issue?
EDIT: just occurred to me, as my laptop and TV native resolutions are not the same, should I lower laptop resolution prior connection to LCD?

Will some kind person advise on how to remove fonts from the file in Vista Home? I am running Office 2003 on my laptop, and the Fonts file has MANY fonts installed, the vast number of which I do not want. Simple things in life are generally best. In XP I could simply click on any font, check to see if it was required, then delete, keeping the numbers down to a select few. Now in Vista, I am informed that it is not allowed to remove most of the fonts in the file for some unknown.

The Fonts on my vista install seem to be larger than they should be. When I open dialog boxes the text extend past the edge of the window and gets cut off. The DPI is set to default but the setting also has a strike through it. (see image), also notice the text extending the form. If i change the setting to 120 dpi there is a noticeable difference. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything on this!

How do you move extra fonts without deleting them? I have 600+ fonts installed. I see no option to just move the font without deleting them permanently. My HP laptop is very slow starting up and I think the installed fonts are slowing it down.
