    Hi,

    I'm running Parallels Desktop 13 with Windows 7 Pro (64bit). For my graphics configuration I'm using "Best for Retina display" and although most everything looks good (very sharp) I find that some of the fonts are the wrong size making it difficult or impossible to read various user interfaces. See the attached screen capture.

    If I change the configuration to use "scaled" then this problem goes away - but at a cost of lost screen resolution (less space on screen to work) and an unattractive looking fuzziness. I really prefer using "Best for Retina display" - but at least two Windows programs have this font issue within various user interface menus.

    The screen capture I've provided should be enough to illustrate what I'm describing - but I can provide other examples if needed.

    Anyone have this problem? Is there a workaround?

    David
