Menu fonts and symbols are too small after FrameMaker 12.0.4

Question

Menu fonts and symbols are too small after FrameMaker 12.0.4 Update on Windows 8.1 - no effect on changing the preferences - were can I chnge it?

We just bought FrameMaker 2015 and ran into the same problem on a MacBook Pro with a 15" 2880 x 1800 pixel screen. Setting the screen resolution in Windows 7 has no result on the size of the menu font or the icons. This works with all other programs. Also setting the icons in the interface option of the preferences to color/grayscale regular/large does not change anything.

Is there a workaround for this?

I am also evaluating the software for my company. I'm a long time FrameMaker user, and have worked at other companies with Windows 7, and structured FrameMaker, most recently FrameMaker 11, and didn't have this problem.

I am on a MacbookPro, and using a 27" Dell monitor (Hi resolution), I am working with a VM in Windows 7, with a screen resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a font resolution of 300%. (any lower screen resolution is a problem.)

I tried the "Disable scaling.." short cut.

Even with my fonts set to 300% and the disable scaling... selected I got:

I tried the font settings at several other resolutions with the same settings, and no it didn't make a difference with the size of the UI fonts.

The problem seems to be with the UI... menus from the pulldowns are easier to read... but I'm not sure how I can find them without a magnifying glass.
