    Oh..I forgot to update my issue. Eventually, I fixed the both issue myself.

    1. DPI issue: I changed the display scale to 100% and DPI is set to 96.

    The display resolution is set to 2560 1440 as usual.

    Eventually, I got my crop tool mouse cursor is back to normal.

    2. I downloaded the AMD graphics driver which was updated very recently, it fixed broken fonts in the sims 3 issue.

    Now the resolution is 2560 1440 in game, fonts looks nearly perfect on windowed mode. 🙂

    I appreciate your ALL great helps and I won't forget this. Thank you so much.:D

@aodoherty  You could try setting both the system and user DPI to 143; that might help.  Or you could try 120 or 168 (125 or 175%).

I haven't forgotten about you, and I'm sorry I haven't followed up on the other issues.  Things kind of erupted on the Mac side and I got sidetracked with all the posts, plus my own preparations.  I'm still going to poke around more though; it's just taking a bit more time.

    @aodoherty  I'm glad to hear setting DPI to 96, with some other tweaks, fixed the issue.  I've always had mine at 144 without a problem, but then I don't have other software that might not cooperate.  It's good to know that the updated AMD driver is helping too.  Thanks for letting me know.
