First check Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display

 

Next step is if he has a high resolution device like the Surface Pro 3, Windows 8 have another setting from the tile interface under PC and devices > Display with a font setting

It looks like he has played with the individual text size settings in the Display control panel. What OS is he running? These settings differ depending on the OS.

 

In general on Windows you will want to only set the size of all items rather than scaling the text sizes of individual things.

I just checked my system text size and it was set to small. I just did a comparison with bringing it to medium and I think I like that better. Since I have a 30" primary monitor and a 27" secondary I no longer mind losing a little screen real estate to larger text.

 

In the attached image the smaller text is the smaller text and the larger text is a little bigger (medium on Windows 7).
