How to increase dpi settings on a server which does not have a video card to support Aero

Use the above article and the registry setting mentioned there, increase the text size to use a higher % than 100, then logout.

When you log back in via remote desktop from a machine which has an aero enabled graphics card, it will make the text much clearer.

Update: You have to set windows to use full blown aero mode with settings for best display rather than best performance. Otherwise, this will not work properly.

• [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM]
  "Composition"=dword:00000001
  "CompositionPolicy"=dword:00000000
  "ColorizationOpaqueBlend"=dword:00000000
  "EnableAeroPeek"=dword:00000001
  "AlwaysHibernateThumbnails"=dword:00000000
  "UseDpiScaling"=dword:00000000
  
  So I can read register table to get the setting is set or not
  
  private bool IsDpiScaling()
  {
      RegistryKey k= Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\DWM");
      if (k!= null)
      {
          if ((int)k.GetValue("UseDpiScaling") == 1)
          {
              return true;
          }
      }
      return false;
  }
