How to change the Default text size in Windows 7
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have three text sizes in Windows 7:
- Smaller 100%
- Medium 125%
- Larger 150%
On our VMs, Smaller 100% is listed as "default" regardless of whether it's selected or not. On my local work machine, Medium 125% is listed as "default" regardless of whether it's selected or not. In the help file on both machines, 100% is listed as the default.
I'm trying to configure my local machine as Smaller 100% (default). How do I do this?
I've matched the themings and resolutions of my local machine to the VM, but my machine is still at 125% for default, and 100% for in-use.
I am trying to rule out some font rendering issues in Windows 7. The font sizes look great on the VMs, but not locally.

I have the same problem, this is what I have found out so far:
125%:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFonts]
"Courier 10,12,15"="COURF.FON"
"MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SERIFF.FON"
"MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SSERIFF.FON"
"Small Fonts"="SMALLF.FON"
"Small Fonts (120)"="SMALLF.FON"
100%:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFonts]
"Courier 10,12,15"="COURE.FON"
"MS Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SERIFE.FON"
"MS Sans Serif 8,10,12,14,18,24"="SSERIFE.FON"
"Small Fonts"="SMALLE.FON"
"Small Fonts (120)"="SMALLF.FON"
Filename ending with "F" is big font. I had to change those values to be able to display correctly older Delphi software.
