[Framers] FM2015 pod font size

   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.
