Hi,
I was able to work around this issue. Open putty, create a new session, modify
the font size. On your super putty edit the connections and under Putty profile
select the session that has the small font size.
For me courier with 5 size works great!
It's a pretty way as well if you want to modify the font color

That works - but the program is still broken...if after opening the session,
simply right click the tab and go to 'change settings' and do nothing other
than click 'apply' it actually changes the font to size 5...whatever SuperPuTTY
is doing as a default behavior on a hi-res screen is not correct. It basically
doubles the size of the font. The work around is fine as long as you make no
changes to the PuTTY session after the fact and hit the 'apply' button. This
bug should be easy enough to fix if the right person works on it...

Short answer: The best solution I have is on Windows, right-click on
SuperPutty.exe, go to the Compatibility tab, and disable DPI awareness.
SuperPutty will look a little ugly when you do this though.
Longer answer: I spent many hours looking into this, tracing and editing the
source code for SuperPutty, Putty, and competitors to SuperPutty to try to
figure out what is going wrong and how to fix it. Using Procmon (API calls)
and Spy++ (window messages) to debug. Implementing code from Stackoverflow. I
was unable fix. Good luck to the next lost soul that attempts this. And please
tell me how on earth you fixed it if you do.

I use MTPutty and I have same issue. So just making a putty setting with a super small font doesn't quite do the trick, especially since half the time my laptop with 4k display is docked and my external monitors are not 4k. Anyway, 2 things I noticed:
In my case the best solution I've found to this is to set my primary monitor as one of my external monitors then reboot. Note that without the reboot I didn't see any improvements.
I have a Surface Book (3000x2000 at 200% DPI scaling) and 2x Dell u2715h (2560x1440 at 100% DPI scaling).
Before the change:
After the change, points 1 and 2 above are solved - Putty text size is correct, plus a single full window Putty session displays correctly. The issue in point 3 persists on the Dell monitors, but not on the Surface Book.
It could be that having the primary monitor at 100% scaling is what has improved things for me, so may not be of use to everyone, but hopefully it will help others.
Can someone implement a button to load on all sessions the default putty setting - so you can address the scaling issue with one click
Delete the existing Putty sessions from Super Putty and open Putty directly to change the font size to 6 or 7 and save the config. Now go back to Super Putty and re-import Putty configs. This worked for me.

The fix I found to the "ugly" part on Windows 10. When you check the "Override High DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:"
Change the drop down from "Application" to "System".
This gives you 0xdabba...@gmail.com's fix listed above and fixes the gui for you
I manually edited the SuperPutty 'Sessions.xml' file to switch all sessions to the default putty config, as in:
PuttySession="Default Settings"
I then set my Putty default settings to a 4 pt font, saved the settings, and then it looked OK.
Just wanted to comment and thank everyone in this chain, the huge-font thing was killing me! I found success by going to the MTPuTTY.exe file or the SuperPuTTY.exe (I tested with both) in File Explorer, right-click and select Properties, click the Compatibility tab, click the "Change high DPI settings" button, click the "Override high DPI..." check box, and select "System (Enhanced)" from the drop-down. (This is on Windows 10, ver 1803 build 17134.254)
This has been killing me!!! So happy to have it fixed!!!
@0xdabba...@gmail.com @exjmc many thanks!!!!
If someone else caught this please correct me. @0xdabba...@gmail.com post got me started and I see the uglyness. I was setting the overide to "application" Then I read @exjmc who achieved with "System (Enhanced)". Testing "System" did nothing.
The System Enchaced got me thinking as I wasnt happy with the loss of full tab and views but know the system was in control, given using "system" was a fail, I also tick box to enable the program DPI and set it to "I open this program" and both the annoying change settings steps and the proper look and feel came back 100%.
MS Surface Pro book 4 16gb RAM / 500g SSD / i7-8650 Win Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.345]
End result:
These setting just worked fine for me. Just give it a try
This helped me on windows 10 for MTPutty.
