Thank you sooooo much, that made a huge difference. My display size was
set to 320 240, which yielded "resolution: 63x63 dots per inch".
I changed it to 180 120, which now yields "resolution: 112x126
dots per inch" and makes a huge difference in the display size of the
fonts. I wasn't aware of what the option did, so I have always left it
alone. Thank you again for the help.
P.S. you may want to check your system clock or timezone, your message
seemed to come in 2 hours before my message was originally posted.
