Deal with DPI (font) other than Normal Size (96 dpi)

[#1]

Ever since 2005, ACT! has not been able to handle higher DPI / larger windows fonts - this is a defect!  I know of no other software that can't deal with large fonts.

Factors:
1. An aging workforce with deteriorating eyesite,
2. Availability of high-resolution laptops with large screens that result in tiny, almost unreadable fonts

Normal Fix:
1. Users 'up' their fonts to large fonts, and ACT! goes kaplooey!  Mini-calendars repeat across the screen, labels overlap and wrap - a mess!

Result:

1. Users have to set their fonts/DPI back to normal and then can't read any application, have to use glasses and curse ACT!

Question:
If everyone else can deal with different font sizes, why can't ACT!?  What did you do differently than other software vendors to lock yourself into 96dpi?

I have Act 2008 Version 10 and this is essentially a fatal problem as far as my using Act goes.  Does the new version address this problem?

agreed, I am surprised that others aren't having this problem, I think it's going to be a real mess when people start upgrading their computers and monitors.  At this point I can't ready my new act 11 real estate.  I reset to 96 and everything is TINY as my monitor is a widescreen 21.5 with 1920 resolution.  I am losing it!  My Act 6 worked perfectly and the upgraded new 11 doesn't.  Not only does this cause a problem with Act but also with all my other programs that I use for email, accounting etc.  There has to be a fix.

I have the same problem!  I'm using Windows 7 with font size set on "LARGE".  ACT 2011 will display, but the screen is fuzzy as if out of focus.  Additionally, when you send an email the left menu pane and the header for the Notes pane both "inflate" to what looks like about 32point size. I have to restart ACT to get the font size back to normal.

I can't believe that ACT hasn't fixed this problem given the fact that just about everyone has large monitors these days and especially after 13 versions of ACT.  ACT says they read these boards, I hope they take these posts to heart a fix this problem promptly.
