Fonts" selected then you probably don't. The default setting from Microsoft
is "Small Fonts".

fonts or resolution you can find then parameter for this setting in the following
locations:
Resolution: Start
menu, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings (This is where the resolution
option is) .
Font Size: Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Display, Settings, Advanced
(this is where the Font size option is).
