    hi guys

    i have a FHD screen and the letters are too small for my not so young eyes.
    so i use the change font feature of wm7 to increase the size of system fonts from 125% to 150%

    when i do this though i noticed that it affects fonts and some other graphical objects in games.
    for example, when i switched to 150% size, dragon age and batman:aa looked i little bit fuzzier. sure enough the fonts were bigger but i was surprised that the whole graphic image appeared not as sharp.
    i was thinking tht i could be subjective on my part, but ive tried it a couple of times. could you guys verify that changing system font size does indeed affect graphical elements in certain games?

    The best way to test this is yourself. Use a screenshot program like FRAPS to compare settings.
