When my monitor is max resolution (2560x1600) the fonts become pretty small.
I have increased my sytem's dpi and font sizes but there seems to be no effect inside of archicad.
Just wondering... Thanks.

I surf, too. But i likes me a real challenge. Where you only fall down once.
I commiserate with you. The challenge of the gigantic display is that the Archicad palettes remain dinky.
On MAC, there's a digital magnfication tool available that can hover over the info box - maybe on PC, too?
I once resorted to a flat plastic National Geographic Atlas Fresnel lens taped to the display where i placed the info box, etc. Sort of like the movie "Brazil."
Do you have the right corrective lenses? Once i got good progressive bi-focal glasses, the problem went away. Suddenly i could focus. They also sell a special intermediate corrective lens designed for the computer display.

Swell, should have had this feature years ago, eh?
But in suggesting "Screen Lupe" I refer to focusing on a specific place on the display that needs to be bigger.
Were this an analog device, for instance, you'd want to hang this in front of your pants, say.
