OS X guest in VMware Workstation Player 12, how to increase display font?

Hi! I have installed OS X as a guest OS in VMware Workstation 12, and I use a High DPI monitor, which causes the screen and fonts to be really small. I was able to fix the screen size using VMware Tools vmware-resolutionSet, so now the display size is bigger, but the fonts are still minimal. Is there any way to resize the fonts? OS X does not give me the option to use larger fonts as it doesn when you are using a Retina Display.

Any help is appreciated! Here's a screenshot with this webpage for scale.

Sorry, but it is a violation of Apple's licensing to run Apple OS on non-Apple hardware.  You are only legally allowed to run a virtual OSX on Mac hardware using VMware Fusion or ESXi.  If we help you here, VMware could get into legal trouble with Apple.

Oh I'm sorry I wasn't aware of that. Nevermind.
