Some people may want to increase the default font size in Vista, possibly to help overcome visual impairments. Vista makes it simple for users to increase the font size to suit their individual preferences and physical needs.

To increase the font size in Vista:

Right click a blank part of the desktop.
Click the Personalize option.
On the left hand menu, click the Adjust Font Size (DPI) option.
Select Larger Scale (120dpi).
Click OK.

Some softwares are not compatible to enlarge DPI in Window Vista, in the Personalize window, we can change almost all the fonts, except the Window Text, for which is the most important for me, how to increase this font without changing DPI.
