Add Ability to Resize Handwriting Examples Larger

The Handwriting Examples pop-up is helpful, but I would like to resize the image of the examples larger to better refer to it as I index. The Windows Magnifier tool under Windows Ease of Access is not a good solution to consistently being able to refer to a larger version of Handwriting Examples.

To a lesser extent, it would also be helpful to make the text in the International Characters and Project Instructions pop-ups larger. Currently, the window for the Project Instructions pop-up can be made larger, but the text remains the same size. The Project Instructions text is large enough for me, but distinguishing between some of the tiny diacritics in the International Characters pop-up is difficult and would be easier if the text could be enlarged.

    We need for that International Characters chart to pop-up in its entirety. Scrolling to find many of the letters is counter-productive. Even adding drag bars in the lower right corner would be an improvement.

    Obviously, you can't "use" the Diacritics from the above image, but you can read them anyway.

    Cool, that's helpful, thank you, John! I have dual monitors, so I can put your enlarged image of the Handwriting Examples on the second monitor and refer to it as I index. If I didn't have a second monitor, I could still toggle (Alt + Tab in Windows) back and forth between the indexing screen and the enlarged Handwriting Examples.
