The fonts used in Stata dialogs are a system font specified by Windows.
Vince Wiggins ([email protected]) replied with a couple of suggestions
for Roger on how to make these fonts more legible in a presentation.
I have one suggestion to add.
Roger can
- right-click on the desktop
- select Properties
- click on the Settings tab
- click on the Advanced button
- change the DPI setting for fonts.
By default, 'Normal size (96DPI)' is probably selected. Roger can
select 'Large size (120 DPI)' or even select a custom setting where
he can choose a magnification factor for the fonts on the system.
Note that this will affect fonts used in menus, window title bars, and
other system objects, not just the font used in dialog boxes. Also note
that the size of dialog boxes and dialog box controls does NOT scale
with the font size, so it is possible to choose a font size which
will result in text on the dialog box being truncated in controls.
