    If it is a child window opened by Java code, you may not be able to change the font size. The code may be specifying the font size to use.

    child window?....it is a java app that doesnt have any fontsize choice, but on my old PC it show just fine and you can read it, on this garbage 8.1 you cant read any window pop up as they have too small fonts, and the desktop bar is transparent so when you pass the arrow on it and pop up it get mixed and confused with the windows below it, how come it is so much garbage on this 8.1? it is suspicious.

    And M$ wondered why it did not sell.
    You will be happier when Win 10 is released. A free upgrade.

    free upgrade?
    I believe it when I see it, and even if is going to be free wasnt free all the troble im going trhough now and I will until 10 is finally fixed and running, by then it will be time for W12, it is otrougeos that after you buy something you cant use it as you likeand transfer to another PC....the only upgrade here is Linux or apple.
    There are 5 partitions on this Lenovo can I download Linux in one and start on it, than to move to window do I need to shut down a restart?

    Yes you can and yes I reboot so I can select the OS I want to use.
    Then there is vmware which I know exists, but never have used.
    Hope someone will post information on those programs.

    Virtualbox also exist, but having never used any of that stuff I have no idea how to use it. There are threads here on that type of programs.

    I use 8 GB memory sticks to make Persistant USB boot sticks. Same bookmarks, log ins, etc that are on my computers.
    Mint 17 is on one stick. Even wiped grand daughters laptop and installed Mint 17 for her. That ended the virus and malware problems they were having.
    MX 14.4 I will be working with now.

    free?
    there is an app here on 8 where you can choose if you like to buy the key to apply changes...it cost 100 more to buy a PC with window, and I got to buy a key to make it work? I used to like the guy with the idiot face in the garage, now that he is taking the world for a ride I start to think it was better if he did go into the armonger business just like everybody else did.

    I don't know if it will work with the Java window you are talking about but, did you try holding down the [Ctrl] key and then tapping the [+] key to make it bigger and the [-] to make it smaller? I no longer use Java so I don't really have an easy way to test it and see if it will work.
