Hello Jim

Possibly the UISettings.xml file has become distorted.   Try this quick step.

Delete the UISettings.xml file, This file will generate again as default when Prepar3D is launched next.   This will not effect any of your settings or 3rd party software (Add On's) 

Your UISettings.xml file can be found at the location below

Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v4 -  UISettings.xml

 

A quick way of locating this file....... 

Copy the TEX below and Paste it into your windows search bar and click on the result,  This will bring you directly to the correct location

%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4

 

Delete the UISettings.xml file and then launch Prepar3D and test

Check that your text size is set to normal.  - rightclick desktop - personalize - display - the settings you want are there.
