Iincreased the font size globally under Windows XP for the exactly same
reason. I can use BlackBox, but now I have a problem that in all pre-made
dialogs (such as CTRL-F dialog) the labels are displayed only partially.
The label display box still has the size of the previous small font, and
therefore it clips the letters which are now of larger size. I decided to
live with that, even though it looks ugly.

Maybe someone has an idea how to increase the font size such that the
Forms will display the letters without clipping?
