change UI font size

[the mad doctor kaeding <th...@gmail.com>]

Does anyone know how to change the size of the font in the UI?
It looks rediculously clownish in 42-point font when everything else
is 12 and 18-pt.  I am attaching a screenshot, if the mailing list
will allow it.

Thank you.

Thomas

Tools - Options - View

Here you can set some options that will influence the UI:

- "Scaling"
Uses percentile scaling for font size in user interface elements, such 
as dialogs and icon labels. The Scaling setting does not affect the font 
size of text in a document.

- "Use system font for user interface"
Specifies to use the system font to display all menus and dialogs. Else 
another installed font is used.

BTW:
It's not possible to set a specific font and/or size for displaying the 
UI in OOo.

Howdy Thomas,

My suggestion would be to check the user configuration:

menu choice:

Tools->Options->View

Check the value for User Interface - Scaling

The mailing list does not take attachments.

I saw a similar report recently.

Could it be that the magnification zoom in the bottom right of the OO.o window has been set too high?  Try moving it to the 100% mark on the slider next to the magnification reading in the corner.

Or are you talking about something apart from the document area?

Does anyone know how to change the size of the font in the UI?
