Changing the font size...
Hello again,
Is it possible to change (make larger) the global font size? I'm asking because my eyes are bad and I have to put my face on the screen to read the labels and other text. This is the only application that I use that has this problem. I do have the system's global font size multiplied by 200% and other applications use this. My system: Windows 10.

Re: Changing the font size...
Under the View dropdown menu you have an option of Zoom with Normal, Medium, or Large. This increases the fonts and tabs and such and in a way that it remains completely functional (so no buttons get pushed off the page etc.).
Hope that helps?

In GCA5? View -> Zoom -> Normal/Medium/Large
GCA 4 should respect the Windows Font Size. In addition, don't forget that Windows has a built in Magnifier app; just hit the Start button and type in Magnifier

Re: Changing the font size...
Thank you. It's already at the maximum zoom level.
Even more, thanks for the pointer to the magnifier app.

Re: Changing the font size...
Another thing you can do is change your display resolution while using GCA. Most displays these days are 1080p (1920x1080), but if you set it to 720p (1366x768 or 1280x720) this will make everything larger. This is particularly useful if you have a 4K display (3840 x 2160) as all fonts tend to be unreasonably tiny unless you're using a 30" or larger TV as a desktop display; so setting it to 1080p makes everything more readable.

Thank you. This may work until I can get new glasses.

Re: Changing the font size...
Wanted to add on here that the newest update (5.0.218) includes a new, larger Zoom size, in case that helps.
(I'm not positive that every window will fit on every display with this newest Zoom level, but everything I looked at fit on my display.)
