Euman, Sorry. Yes, I misunderstood. I thought your intention was to force a standard, unchanging font size. About Large Fonts: this is the way they work, there's no help for it. I know. One of my PCs runs Win98 configured with users, and my wife, who has severe eyesight problems, has her config Large, Larger, Largest! She sees them OK, but half the texts, menus and controls stampede out of sight, one on top of the other, and so on. You can't even reach them with the mouse pointer in a normal fashion. The only way around this could be managing your own font sizes and faces: upon detecting Large, apply the largest you consider appropriate, choosing a narrow, very clear, sans serif font face to replace the Win default. Good choices would be, in my experience, Arial (maybe even Arial Narrow), and Comic Sans MS.
