Adding back old posts (thanks, Lazarus) for purpouses of getting help for myself and/or those with similar problems.
I.
MarcAFK - Thanks, friend but no dice. You see, that was one of the first things I tried after I started experimenting on my own. I've run it both with and without cleartype (my default preference is off, clear type has always made my eyes ache) but to no success.
Vortex421 - Thanks; I really don't like the idea of cluttering up forums, but I'll hold out any hope I can. I don't mind if any possible answer makes me look like the world's biggest moron for not having figured it out, so long as it leads somewhere. . . Anyway, to answer your questions:
*Using the same monitor as before.
*Urls enclosed (Thanks Erik for repairing their functionality!):
With CTT /
Without CTTDon't feel obligated to respond quickly, as I'm off for work in a few minutes, but any advice is appreciated.
Edit: There were attachments here. They're gone, now.

Erik Luken: Hello again, and thank you; unfortunately, I always knew I was destined for greatness, as I suppose I think I might be one of those 1%. Ahahaha! I've inclosed a status window in my crop of images this time, and I'll go over emphatically what they are; I didn't include a picture of every combination of settings, as I believe that'd get cumbersome, but...
Vortex421: Correct! Win7 Classic, 1920 x 1080, with that being the native resolution. More on that in a bit, as well as font sizing.
(Thanks, but that's actually the beautiful set of backgrounds that come with the Aurora portable edition wrapper.
My own (I included it because, why not?) is set out to remind me that even though my heart turns home in longing, across the voids between, I'll know beyond the spaceways that the hills of Earth are green. Even a cog can dream of the stars, after all...
)
Mor: Unfortunately, I've used the default font/DPI settings in Windows, and a whole slew of different settings as well. I think I've mentioned, but since it doesn't count unless I've got hard proof...

To show that I believe I've tried what you and Erik Luken recommend. Thanks again for fixing the links, Erik, much better. So:
*Monitor default size is 1920 x 1080. I've also played around with at 1366/60 x 768, even though I don't think that should change anything.
*I've tried the following combinations of display-altered font;
8,
9, and
10-pt adjustments as seen in the leftmost field. You can see the difference in the active bar for Aurora, but not in the actual text itself.
*My default DPI is the smallest possible setting, 100%, as seen in the top-right image, and referenced by myself earlier. I have attempted the larger settings because I'm a glutton for punishment, as well as altering the DPI smaller via regedit. Which my computer didn't play too nicely with but, that's just how things are. It also didn't solve the problem...
*Minus 1366/60 x 768, I have tried the following in (I believe, it gets repetitive after awhile) all possible combinations with each other. E.G, 1920 x 1080 + DPI 100% + making sure active and inactive system fonts are at 8-pt, versus 1920 x 1080 + DPI 125% + 9-pt system font, etc.
Maybe I'm missing what you all mean by the Windows font size being set oddly, but it does not seem to be the problem at the moment.
Edit: I just copy-pasted en masse, and now everything looks like it works right? I'm confused, but happy!
