Version 13.2.1 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (January 27, 2023)

Release ID 13.2.1.0 (8224570, 2023012717827)

Patch Level 0

My actual screen resolution settings are:

In[3]:= SystemInformation["Devices", "ScreenInformation"]

Out[3]= {{"ScreenArea" -> {{0, 1920}, {0, 1050}}, 
  "FullScreenArea" -> {{0, 1920}, {0, 1080}}, "BitDepth" -> 32, 
  "Resolution" -> 72.}}

In[4]:= CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, "ScreenResolutionCompatibilityMode"]

Out[4]= True

The Notebook becomes completely disorganized when I evaluate:

CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, "ScreenResolutionCompatibilityMode"] = False

Dubbel printed text, half of the page is scrolling (see print-screen below). Sometimes I had to restart the kernels.

I had to set the value back to "True" in the Option Inspector. So better not touch that parameter!

That option was deprecated and removed in 12.1. The FrontEnd uses the values reported by the OS in 12.1 and later.

The display resolutions are listed in SystemInformation[]. You can use the short form SystemInformation["Devices", "ScreenInformation"] as well.

12.1.0 - 12.3.1 has an active compatibility shim which forces 96dpi displays to report as if they were 72dpi. Evaluating the following will disable it, but I would restart the FrontEnd afterwards.

CurrentValue[$FrontEnd, "ScreenResolutionCompatibilityMode"] = False

With that said, there is no direct equivalent to the old mechanism. i.e., you cannot alter the resolution just for the fonts.

Yes. Technically, it can only be applied globally.
