I'd like to know how to change the font size of the settings page. The picture shows how small it is.

How to increase the font the application uses for menus and the settings screens

4They’re normal-sized though...? If you feel that they are too small, you should probably look into DPI scaling instead of font sizes.– Daniel BCommented Nov 18, 2019 at 21:04

2Am I the only one that noticed that this is running notepad++ under Linux? I bet that Wine is controlling the system font sizes. this might help if my hunch is correct.– Señor CMasMasCommented Nov 18, 2019 at 22:54

Just to add to @SeñorCMasMas. It seems like a Ubuntu Linux. You can try this settings to increase application fonts .– DigitalNomadCommented Nov 21, 2019 at 17:40

To change the font size, go to Settings | Style Configurator... and select Global Styles | Global override for the general-purpose font and style. You can also specify a particular font and style by language, function and so forth.
To change the displayed text size without altering the font, press Ctrl while rolling the mouse wheel, which also works in many other applications across differing operating systems.
BTW, Inconsolata is a useful font to clearly distinguish numbers from letters, e.g. 1 and l, O and 0.

It seems that he's found the style configurator, his text font is huge, but what he actually wants is to increase the font the application uses for menus and the settings screens which this does not seem to touch. I admit I had started writing a nearly identical answer before I saw it.– Mokubai ♦Commented Nov 18, 2019 at 21:47

For menu items, Windows OS controls font size. Ease of Access also includes a magnifier. support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028566/… Commented Nov 19, 2019 at 0:35

Yes @DrMoishe_Pippik, but note that his picture is not Windows. Commented Nov 21, 2019 at 17:52
