Anybody know how to enlarge them? This is for all programs. I can't
change the screen resolution as I'm using a LCD monitor with a fixed
native resolution.

If you are speaking of the fonts in the menubar and its drop-downs those are
fixed size in terms of the number of pixels in a character. Different screens
can have a different number of pixels per inch. The higher the number of
pixels per inch the smaller those characters will appear. At this time other
than changing the size of the image (which usually creates a cheesy image on
an LCD if set to other than the default) there is no way to change the size
of the menu characters. Hopefully in a forthcoming version of OS X this will
be addressed.

Get TinkerTool (see www.versiontracker.com) to change the font defaults
that can be changed.

I guess this is a lost cause. This didn't work either. I got version
3.4 which warned that some applications will ignore the settings. There
must be a way of raising these *&#@ settings! They are set somewhere -
if I knew where I could change them. When you're trying to read letters
that are 1/16th of an inch tall its pretty silly. I did manage to reset
Opera but if I have to do that with every program.......its just too
stupid. Either I have to get a 19" 1280 x 1024 monitor or a CRT monitor
or go back to Windows - yuch.
