[New-bugs-announce] [issue25091] Please revert the Windows Installer to micro type.

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

The 3.4.3 installer used normal size type (10 point, I believe) in the dialog boxes.  I can more or less read this with by non 20/20 eyes.  The new 3.5.0 installer uses a smaller type (8? 7? point), which for even more people will mean using a magnifier. Please revert this anti-accessibility change.  Instead, increase to 12 point if possible.

I noticed that the Python logo picture is also shrunken by about 20%.  I checked side-by-side with the 3.4.3 box, so all system settings were the same for both.
