Select the smallest font size you have available from the drop down list.
Click apply and then restart your computer.

Please download and install the latest version of the AIMEngine from the link below:
http://www.a-i-m.de/Downloads/Files/AIMEngine%20v2.0.2.0%20(small).exe
PLEASE NOTE: The installer messages are in German but the AIMEngine itself is compatible with the English version of RedShift. It installed and worked dependably on our test computers.
RedShift 5 uses the AIMEngine to show the Help Manual, the AstroDictionary and the PhotoGallery.
