That is not going to help, and could even hurt. Moving from an old
17 inch CRT to a multi-kilobuck 22 inch high-resolution TFT monitor
could actually make the fonts smaller with a lot of extra blank
space. That is because the people who decide what the developers
should develop have caused them to set the font at a fixed size. If
Now with an application designed with browser technology, you would
think that things would be adjustable to the preference of the user
and the limitations of the hardware, rather than WIWIWYG (What I
Want Is What You Get).
A monitor with bigger dot pitch could help. Those are generally
cheaper, so would be liable to be fuzzy.
What *WILL* help in Money, tho it has some downside in making the
Windows buttons and some other things weird, is to right-click on an
empty spot on the Windows desktop. Properties->Settings->Advanced
and change the Display Settings to 120 DPI (Dots Per Inch) or to a
custom value. Do the reboot. Try it and decide if the upside is
better than the downside.
