It has got to be a flaw in Windows 11. I was running Windows 7 for
years, and I liked it but had to get it updated a month or so ago when
I got a new PC.

Even Notepad is a mess. Wondows Notepad is the same - very small
print. I can "Zoom" in and enlarge, but I cannot save the enlarged
font.

I downloaded a "Simple Notepad" and it is the same deal. I can
enlarge by zooming but I cannnot save the larger font.

I can't help you with W11 ( forever on W7; I can build my own PC's ).
I looked at W11 and I don't understand it at all. I'm trying Linux
Mint as alternative.

I'm not sure what you use as magnifying glass, but something like this
is really helpfull for reading small text, papers or text on a
computer screen/mobile phone.

It's very light and you can use it for hours without problems.

Thanks, but I do not understand one bit of it, and in that case, I
will not use it.

Here are some screen-shots comparisons to show you can get the scaling you want
in Windows 11.

1) Comparison with 'scale = 125%' and 'Scaling performed by: System (Advanced)'

screen-shot: <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=26_6v6uqh__1__comparison-with-scale-125-percent-in-win11.png>

2) Comparison with 'custom scaling = 128%' and 'Scaling performed by: Application'

screen-shot: <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=26_6v6uqh__2__comparison-with-custom-scaling-128-percent-in-win11.png>

3) Comparison with XRS mod using 'relativesize' = 1.4

screen-shot: <http://img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=26_6v6uqh__3__comparison-with-xrs-mod-using-relativesize-1.4-in-win11.png>

The Windows 11 flaw you refer to only happens when you use both of the
following:

i) In the program's High DPI compatibility settings,
you use the option 'Scaling performed by: Application'
and not one of the other options.

ii) You use the Windows 11 'Scaling' drop-down to set the scaling,
rather than the Windows 11 'Custom scaling' option.

Change just one of these two, and you get the increased font size you want.

You also get the increased font size you want with the XRS mod I gave you
in my first reply a week ago.
