How can I change the text "size" used in the hessling editor

[Neil Murphy]

The text on my display is so tiny I'd have to get a magnifying glass. How can I make it larger? neilhmurphy@gmail.com

What OS and what version of THE are you using?

I am using windows 10 and version 3.3rc1. I too would like to be able to adjust the text size. And if possible, perhaps the font used.

Is there a way to set the font size in the profile file ? I am on Windows 10 using THE version 3.3rc1. I am using the GUI version. I am able to successfully set the window size by the command
SET PSCReen 35 130 in the profile.the file
But the font size remains small.

For Windows:
If you're using theg.exe (or defaulting to graphics mode), make sure you have the 'menu' option checked (click on title bar icon, click on 'menu') That will put a line between the title and file name. The inserted line has three words:
"Larger" "Smaller" "Paste"

Click on "Larger" to enlarge the text size... repeat until satisfactory; click on 'Smaller" if you go too far. Click on "Paste" to paste clipboard content into edit after current line (beware paste will overlay existing text if insufficient blank lines are available. Also if lines are too long to fit into current window lines will be arbitrarily shifted.

If you're using thec.exe (or defaulting to console [character?] mode) click on the title bar icon, select "properties" , click on the 'font' tab and select font family and font size... If you're using a shortcut, default properties can be set in it's properties dialog.

HTH, let me know

@taf23 Thank you for your response. I am aware that clicking on "larger" and "Smaller" will change the window size. What I am looking for is a way to start THE with a default font size on start up without manually changing the size. The command mentioned in my previous comment successfully starts THE with the desired screen size, but the font remains small.
