If The Font Size Is Too Big Or Too Small

Here's what a customer wrote to me:

In the screens of my ATM installation the text is truncated, either vertically, horizontally or both. It is as if the text is too large for the space allocated for it. I have tried changing my screen resolution but the same thing happens.

In Windows XP Help, there is a solution named: "To increase or decrease the size of objects and text on your screen". My DPI setting (Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > General) was wrong and was set to: "Large size (120 DPI)". When I used the "Normal size (96 DPI)" setting, ATM screens appeared as they should.

On my 17", Dell Inspiron 9400 notebook I then found that - in Control Panel > Display > Appearance - I had to also make sure the Font size was set to normal. If that was changed to large, to compensate for the small text in the Start Menu, Windows Explorer etc., I got a ATM result between the unusable original and the optimum.

Or here's another possible solution:
