Resizing Text in Remote App
I have a legacy application that I need to run for a while. I have it available on a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Server installation. After getting it working, I configured the server for RemoteApp so the end user can click an RDP shortcut that will open just that application to their desktop.
The issue we are having is that we have a few users that have been deployed Microsoft Surface Pro's. The RemoteApp works, but due to the screen resolution of the Surface Pro, the text in the RemoteApp is rather small. Is there anyway to 'scale up' that text? I have tried editing the RDP file and adding the line:
smart sizing:i:1
It did not make any difference. Any ideas would be appreciated!

If that one crashes (as it is tested on 2008 R2, not 2008), you could also try a second one: http://www.datafilehost.com/download-14271a00.html

Thanks McKnife. Neither of these seems to have the desired effect, even publilshing them as remoteapp. It appears that the application we are running (Pivotal) defaults to whatever the desktop font resolution is on the workstation that is runing the RemoteApp RDP. The only way to make it larger to is decrease the screen resolution. This makes all applications enormous. I thought it was a long shot and I had not had any luck so I figured posting for ideas was worth a shot.
Thanks again. If you or anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know.
Many Thanks.

Hmm. I used both with success - what OS are we talking about, 2008 x86/x64 or 2008 R2?

The problem was using an old (prior to 2003) version of an application we were moving away from but still needed access to. The size was not an issue with PC's but was on Surface Pro's due to their higher screen resolution. Our solution was to live with it and accelerate our migration away from this application. Thanks for all the assistance.
