Windows 10: Font Oversized in Popup Dialogs of older software used in Windows 11 Professional, but not...

I recently updated my laptop to a newer Dell model with Windows 11 Professional with an Intel video chip instead of Nvidia. There are some older software packages I prefer to us for graphics and music composition, which predate 2010. The applications work fine, but the popup dialogs, not so much. The font size inflates them about 800% or more, rendering them useless on a single screen, and challenging with a second screen on top. This is not a simple system font problem, but the interaction with the older built packages and where the core for the dialogs picks up the font. All other basic func

:)

 

Would like to override default font in dialog.

Would anyone happen to know how to override the default font used in a "generic" Open Folder dialog?

I've read about the default fonts for MS Shell Dlg and MS Shell Dlg 2 ... and have tried to substitute Tahoma in the registry for both. Nothing changed in this dialog ... even after a reboot.

The developer of the particular software that's displaying this says "it's a Windows dialog". But all other (similar) dialogs on my Win10 PC have a good and normal appearance. This one application displays what I call a "weak font" ... thin and with jaggies ... and is a visual blemish. BTW, the application's other font uses are just fine.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
