However, this menu does not provide a means of adjusting the size of the font. This can be a problem if the Lotus Notes user selects a screen resolution greater than 1024 x 768 pixels, as the text on the screen may be difficult to read.

Luckily, a setting is available within the notes.ini parameters that allows the font size to be proportionally increased for all text fields displayed by the Lotus Notes client:
[Display_font_adjustment=n]
"n" can range from "1" (the default size) to "25" (an extremely large font size) and must be defined directly into the notes.ini file using a text editor (e.g., Microsoft Notepad). The parameter can be placed anywhere in this configuration file, but I like to place it right at the end.
Note: I found out in my testing of this tip that when the Microsoft Windows screen resolution was set to 1280 x 1024 pixels, a parameter value of "2" or "3" provided a satisfactory font size.
If you choose to use my suggestion, you would add this setting to your notes.ini parameters:
Display_font_adjustment=2
The [Display_font_adjustment=n] environment variable will also work with negative values. Though "-1" might be too small, even for those with excellent eyesight.
