English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Fallback GUI font for low-res modes?

Would it be possible to automatically fall back to a small font when a low-resolution full-screen mode is in use? E.g. MS San Serif/5 seems to allow most GUI controls to show in 720×480 or 800×600 mode.

By the way, with GUI open in a low-res full-screen mode like that, checking "Fullscreen GUI" makes the left-side tree view far too wide so other controls are no longer visible.

Edit to add: Also, when fullscreen GUI is checked could you make the GUI window borderless full-screen, i.e. without window title bar?

And, checkboxes and radio buttons seem a little too large when using a font like MS San Serif/5. The top row(s) of pixels seem to get cut off. That depends on the Windows scaling factor. I tried with 100% (OK) and 175% (cut-off controls). WinUAE does increase the height of the settings window to account for the larger title bar font, but for whatever reason Windows or WinUAE scales the controls slightly. Archive with a couple of pics:
