David Creamer of IDEAS Training has solved my problem of failing
eyesight! (I had purchased two large UHD monitors in order to continue
work in my old age despite cataracts, with FM2015 on Win10, only to
discover that despite being able to blow up the FrameMaker text print
size to 200%, 300%, whatever, the FM pod font size had been rendered
entirely too small to be legible. It had become like 5-point fontsize,
entirely unscaleable!) What David has led us to is the following:

Be warned in advance that making such a change to your FM parameter
file will utterly trash every setting you have made to date in the
personalization of your installation. It will for instance trash your
desktop image! It will wipe all program icons you have installed in the
menu bar at the bottom of your screen! It will trash your choice of
browser, and your choice of search utility! It will clear away all your
"Favorites"! You will need hours and hours to go back and reset each
and every personalization you have chosen since you last installed your
operating system. Also, be warned that although David's correction
works to enlarge the font inside your pods, it does not enlarge the
font Adobe used for pod labels, such as "Find/Change," "f Catalog,"
etc. Those remain at Adobe's virtually illegible fontsize. (But I can
guess at this, based on the general appearance of the pod.)
Great thanks to David, and to IDEAS Training, for helping with this
problem. Now that I have spent this morning repersonalizing my
environment, I am prepared to go back to my work once again able to
*see* what I am doing.
