It seems to be all or nothing. Display Properties, Appearance tab, Font size.

There are a couple of ways around this..

If he uses Windows Classic style, Display PropertiesAppearance tabAdvanced

he could change various different fonts in different parts of the GUI, just
as you could with previous versions of Windows.

Alternatively, with XP styles, or any msstyles skin..

Different font sizes used with an XP style theme, (or any other msstyle
theme from www.themexp.org, for example) could be made with a few hours of
work...

He'd have to get StyleBuilder from www.tgtsoft.com and import his favourite
style. The program breaks it down to component level. It is a little
involved, but you can basically do what ever you want with a bit of effort.

I merged two or three different styles into my own custom made one late
2001, when I was first shocked at the new XP look, but intrigued with the
possibilities. I still use that theme, but I have also got used to the
default theme, which I use on my admin accounts.
