LO46440: FONT SIZE HUGE WHEN UPGRADING TO NOTES CLIENT 8.5.1

APAR status

• Closed as returned (APAR cannot be resolved without additional info from IBM or customer.)

Error description

• Users are observing large font size on Notes client after
  upgrade to 8.5.1, which is not user friendly and they would like
  to have the Normal default font size. However the workaround
  provided in this SPR, regarding the OS level settings wont work
  at customer end.
  
  A notes.ini parameter "FontIncrease=4" keeps adding to client
  notes.ini , even after removing it and so the font size does not
  display as Normal.
  

Local fix

• Use the following steps to display the Notes client application
  in a smaller font:
  
  In Windows XP:
  1. Anywhere on the Windows Desktop, right-click and choose
  Properties.
  2. On the Appearance panel, change the font size from Large or
  Extra Large to Normal.
  3. Restart the operating system.
  
  In Windows Vista:
  If you want to adjust the display size of text on your Vista
  machine but not change the resolution or actual font size, there
  is a setting in Vista that only affects the visual display of
  text and icons. This makes reading your Notes e-mail and other
  applications much easier.
