Question: I'm using Parallels on my mac. But when I open a software the font are so small, it's very weird. Can anyone help me out!!!

The picture above is when I open up my chrome, how can I fix it?

Answer: 
I had the exact same problem. I went a different route, and decided to sacrifice the nice high-DPI of the Retina for a scaled solution that makes everything look right.

1. In Parallels VM Config → Hardware → Video → Resolution

Use: **Scaled**  

Not: Best for Retina, More Space
2. Restart VM
3. Windows Display Settings → Set Resolution: **1280x800** + Apply
4. Windows Display Settings → "Make text and other items larger or smaller"

Use: Smaller (100%)

All my coworkers had the same problem. In Parallels 9, you can set for every VM if it should be **scaled**, **best for retina** or **more space**. As DPI scaling under Windows is inherently broken, as application developers have to support this, and many just don't, it's not useful you can configure this at all, which is why more options don't always mean better software (looking at you Parallels). In versions before, Parallels didn't let you choose the wrong things, and didn't have the wrong defaults.

You need to open the VM, go to the Virtual Machine menu item in the Macs menu bar, go to Hardware -> Graphics -> and click on scaled, restart your VM, in the Windows VM, go to Start -> Control Panel -> Display Settings -> click the link "Make text and other items larger or smaller" -> set it to 100%
