Font size is too small

SOLVED
Posted By

I have several clients complain that in Windows 7 (they have switched recently from XP to 7) fonts in the the current version of Sage 50 are too small when entering transactions.  I have tried changing the font size in Windows itself (most are at 150% now) and even lowering the resolution, but it barely makes it better.  Is there a way to change the screen font size in Sage 50 (printed reports are fine).

Thanks!

    Because Sage 50 is a 32 bit program, importing those registry keys may have no effect.  Sage 50 could be using fonts in:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

    and

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontMapper

    and doing substitutions from:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes

    If anyone is getting REALLY tiny fonts, please open the sample file, take a screenshot with Alt-print-screen, paste it into Paint, and post the relevant parts in this forum. 

    Or... contact Sage software for support on this issue.  This forum is for peer support, and as such those of us not with Sage have limited access to technical information and none to support case history.

    Thank-you. That fixed my problem! I wish SAGE would post something in their FAQ to make our lives easier!

    Those two files are no longer there. 

    Do you still have a backup somewhere?

    problem is still the same. 

    don't have to get the font from the windows 7. 

    copy the following key from another working windows 10 and merge. problems were solved. 

    Thanks. 

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

    and

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontMapper

    and doing substitutions from:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
