In Win XP, if you right clicked the desktop, you could go into display settings or appearance (I forget which) and choose to change the size of fonts globally, either Normal, Large Fonts, or Extra Large fonts. You could also change DPI settings.
In Win 7, it appears the only global way to change font sizes is through DPI settings, and for me, that is not enough. I had found the right combination of a higher DPI coupled with using "large fonts", that worked in most programs extremely well.
My question: Does or does not Win7 have the old normal, large, and extra large choice of fonts hidden somewhere like that shown below (and again, I am NOT talking about the DPI settings for larger fonts)?

(Also, I know about font settings within IE, etc., but that too is not what I am referring to either.)
Thanks,
