Two years ago or so Wayne sent me instructions how to fix this, which worked (of course), but caused another problem of making the ImageJ program so small that it was unreadable. Changing the scaling fixed the problem of text size, but the icons remained tiny and jumbled together over the mismatched text. After playing with this two or three times, I gave up.

Try these steps:
1. Upgrade to the latest daily build (1.53c31).
2. Open the ImageJ.exe>Properties>Compatibility panel and check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings”.
3. Set “GUI scale” in Edit>Options>Appearance to a value that makes the ImageJ window a reasonable size.
The screenshots at
http://wsr.imagej.net/download/images/ImageJOnWindowst.pngshow Image running on Windows 10 with a GUI scales of 1.0 and 1.3.

When scaling is smaller than 1.0, the font scales proportionally down with the icons and sub-menu fonts, so it looks good (but quite small on my laptop screen). I did not find any screenshots in the post?
