This is a very common complaint. Most people try reducing the resolution and/or increasing the size of text through the Windows display options.

Most people also complain that this is not a good solution!

I did read that somebody had used an external manifest file on MT4 to fix the problem after reading about this adobe fix. I've never tried it, so I don't have any idea if it works!

Here is the manifest file which is placed in the same folder as terminal.exe

// C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4 IC Markets // (in my computer)

MANIFEST file was not accepted so im uploading it as txt file, what you will need to do is open the file, click - file - save as - name it Terminal.exe.manifest (remember to check all files in drop Down menu inside the save window) - Place it in the same folder as Your terminal.

Also do the regedit step very well explained in the Adobe fix link posted above here.

Hi NWGstudent, I too, am only moderately advanced in technical issues. I have been tormented with this text size problem for almost a year now. Would you kindly give me a hand with the fix? The steps arent exactly clear in this thread and I am terrified Ill do something wrong and make matters worse. My email is LRCV79@gmail I really appreciate it!

Greetings, I sent you a PM about this. My problem is that I cannot save the file in the Terminal folder as it says I must have administrator rights to do so. I am simply using my own laptop computer and should have full administrator rights. Can anyone suggest what I should next?

Thank you.
