Dori's message about RM's lack of scalable fonts is right on, as is Connie's
response.
I have been complaining about this for years and RM has not done anything
about the font scaling problem. RM has fixed font scaling in a few areas of
the program, but not throughout. Other programs allow font scaling
throughout their programs, so why doesn't RM? The underlying problem is that
new high resolution monitors result in smaller text on screen and Bruce
hasn't kept up with this issue.
So, Bruce, how about it? Will you please make font sizes adjustable or
scalable throughout RM?

Amen, Dori. I'm surprised more people aren't complaining. I'm not yet old enou
gh for Social Security and despite a lifetime of good eyesight, my presbyopia c
an't handle this. Here's hoping it's somewhere near the top of the enhancement
/bug fix list.

I do not see the resolution of this issue as an enhancement,
rather? I see it as a necessity.? Using RM4 on my
old computer (with Windows XP), I had no problem with the
size of fonts on any of the screens.? With new computer
(Windows 7), the RM4 screens with fonts that cannot be
adjusted by the user were displayed with extremely tiny
fonts, and the problem persists in RM5.?

Also, because of my old-age eyesight, in setting up my new
computer I adjusted the font size globally to 150%.?
This does not affect the minuscule font on the RM screens.
