    I just got my new Dell inspiron 700m. I found that the font size is so small on a 12'' screen compare with thinkpad T42.
    After I enlarge the fond size at DPI setting by 125%. The font was enlarged while all the letters are vagued.
    How can I enlarge the size without sacrificing the quality?

    You can set a lower resolution or
    Display properties > appearance > advanced > click on each thing and set it on higher font(you can also choose a font)

    tell me if it worked.[ :D]

    How about on a scroll mouse hold SHIFT and Scroll Up I think this makes fonts bigger on websites.

    When you run at a non-native resolution you will lose quality, there's no way around this issue.
