This is correct way of adjusting this but you can
also selectively adjust the apperance of individual items:
right click the destkop, choose "properties"
this will display Screen properties box, switch to
"Appearance" - there is "Font size setting" for overall control
but I suggest to click on "ADVANCED"
to get control of every element. (This description is valid for Win XP )

Some posts are sent in HTML with hard-coded font size in points or even pixels.
<FONT Face='face name' Size='9pt' >
In that case they could be too small/too big than your settings
This is one of the reasons why it is good to send plain ASCII e-mails
(the fonts are choosen by the recipient, not by the sender).

The same feature is available in IE View->Text size,
or CTRL+ Mouse Wheel

Super-hi res is OK, if you are running Windows XP I suggest
to check new "ClearType" font smoothing technology designed
specifically for LCD screens that tremendously improves display
of texts.
To turn it on/off
Right click the destkop, choose "properties"
this will display Screen properties box, switch to
"Appearance" - click on 'EFFECTS" button and
click "Use font smoothing" and change the combo
to "ClearType".
If you will not like it you can always turn it off.
