  1. Folder Options: Bold Font & Increase Size


    I would like to change the system font size to make the text appear Bold and larger in size. Since none of the tricks suggested on this forum for a similar question seem to work with my system, I am posting this question again with my OS Details:

    Edition Windows10 Home Single Language

    Version 20H2

    Installed on 30-20-2020

    OS Build 19042.685

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    Please help.


    Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Bold font option in Windows 10?

    The answer is incorrect. It does not answer the question. The author did not asked how to change font family, but how to make it bold. Which are completely different things. As far as I now it is not possible to make text bold. This is one of the biggest
    disadvantages of Windows 10 against Windows 8, where it is possible to set both, Font family and boldness of the font. Increasing the size is not the same as increasing boldness. Because people who suffer with astigmatism needs to use bold font - e.g. to make
    the font look wider. The difference is that if you make font larger its height is bigger. Whilst if you make it bold, you make it wider. The size changes, x,y dimensions, whilst boldness changes the width only. I would be like if MS realize that there is a
    need to make the text bold for people with eyes diseases.

    Increase DPI and font size

    Hi,

    I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

    I'm visually impaired and need to increase the DPI (to 150%) and increase the text sizes to 12pt as well as making the text bold (under
    Change only the text size). However, the font settings are not persistent. When I reboot the computer, the DPI setting stays in place, while the text size and boldness is back to the default (9 and non-bold). This is very annoying and I might have
    to switch back to Windows 7 if this issue can't be solved, as the computer is unusable for me without bold fonts and increased DPI.

    Maybe there is a way of making these changes persistent?

    Thanks for your help,

    David
