Avatar uses Windows font scaling to figure out how large to make the font it uses. On high resolution monitors this can result in very small, unreadable text. The following steps describe how to reconfigure Avatar so that the fonts will appear at a reasonable size.
This fix involves changing the execution settings for four of the Java programs (binaries).
Close Avatar if it is open.
