Thread 150% scaling in Windows

I have an application that is used as part of a three part system. The user clicks from one to the other to mine. Apparently, one user who uses an external monitor on his laptop has it at the 150% scaled mode in Windows. And everything is lovely until it gets to my EWB application which shows really small.

Anyone know anything about font scaling, browsers, and EWB? Is there a fix I can apply?

Browser scaling is only tangentially related to the font scaling on Windows, and the two can deviate.  Which browser are they using ?  They should be able to scale the application in the browser with Ctrl-<Plus> and Ctrl-<Minus> key combinations.

I shall have to find out the browser. It is the fact that two other sites in the group were "normal" and the EWB application "tiny text" that was the concern - obviously they could scale it, but then the other sites would be too big.

I will see if I can replicate it.

It's quite possible that the other sites are actually too big.  EWB doesn't do any sort of scaling (it really can't, nor can any other web application).  For EWB, it's 96DPI all of the time, and the browser handles the rest.
