[racket-dev] Feature request - Zoom in Dr. Racket

Oh-- another thing you might try if lowering the resolution is too
annoying: start up two DrRackets. You can start one like this:

  Racket.exe -l- drracket

at the a command.com command line (you have to navigate to the
directory where DrRacket and Racket are first, tho, I think).
