As an aside its worth noting that you can respond in case the user changes the setting while you're app is open. See the [MSDN article How to: Respond to Font Scheme Changes in a Windows Forms Application](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229594.aspx) — Conrad Frix, Jan 03 '12 at 21:16

Check under class SystemFonts. I don't think you need more than the default namespaces for this.

string name = SystemFonts.IconTitleFont.FontFamily.Name;
float size = SystemFonts.IconTitleFont.Size;

The specific screen that the OP is asking about is DPI. – vcsjones Jan 03 '12 at 21:16

I believe this is already answered here:

The IconTitleFont information would just give you the font size whereas you seem to be looking for the magnification level.

I tried that but had the same results as some of the other users. The results weren't reliable. – JimDel Jan 03 '12 at 21:37
