| You can increase the font for query text, but you mean the text showing database names etc on the left side ? I can't see how either. My remote desktop is fine, so maybe it's a setting in your remote session that's the problem ? |

| Remote Desktop does tend to not use ClearType, which can be a bit unpleasant with fonts designed specifically for ClearType rendering.The text in the Object Explorer is determined by the display properties. However, it doesn't update immediately that Display Properties|Appearance|Font size is changed: SSMS has to be restarted. |

| There are options to change fonts for the Editor tab, but I have yetto find how to change the results tab font.If it cannot be done in in 2005, at least let it be done in 2008.RAQ Report: Web-based Excel-like Java reporting tool |
