    Can No Longer Change Menu fonts or Desktop icon fonts ?


    Although it wasn't nearly as good as the days of changing the system font, there was an area where one could change the size and style (bold, italicized etc) for menus, context menus etc. I can no longer find any way to do this. Is there a way? I'm assuming one still can't just change the system font and I'm finding it harder than ever to obtain easily readable text without distorting the size of everything by excessive scaling.

    I've been living in peaceful ignorance for a while and I've been able to read my screen. Then came the update...

    Thanks.

    :)
