An option to set a custom font for the contents displayed in the "Notes" field when editing an entry would be nice, as sometimes a monospaced font makes sense here. That font should also be used in the lower pane that is shown when browsing the database where notes are displayed.

In fact, I could also live with a font option that changes the font for all fields.

    I already completely "searched" Font chang 2x , Change Font size 2X, and no hits, but I did see the mention of Changing DPI to make the font larger.....!!!

    I am "seeing impaired."
    I am partially disabled with "very poor eyesight."
    I have my Windows 7PRO.... DPI set at 160% (please see screenshot, if it loads.)
    I and still using KP 1.31 because, even tho I have my DPI set at 160%, I really can NOT ""see"" the fonts because Windows does NOT upsize the Keepass font size in version(s) 2X big enought to see it by some of us 'hard to seers."
    NO.... I can't afford 1. A larger screen. 2. At 70 years old, I can't "carry" around more weight for a larger screened laptop.
    SO does anyone here, other than the "change the DPIer(s)". . . know of any "plugin," or any way to "CHANGE" the Font larger as in the 1X versions so "we" can use the 2X version.

    Thank you in advance!

    Please NOTE.... not only do I have to Set DPI to 160% to see, I also have to set "Zoom" to 150 on my ALL 4 different browser(S) to see, so that is just another app that needs a "special" Font Changer, for us "not so special users."
    And no, really very, sorry that I can not make a large enough "donation" to get the "font changer" 2X needed when it came out years ago.

      Very Very, sorry for that post as I didn't "see" that the latest version, 2.41 has the fantastic, choice to change the fonts, sizes etc.....
      So thank you all at Keepass for that "choice" it is working wonderfully, for this old software tester (16 years testing over 200 apps.)

      So now .... "how to change the 1.31 version into the 2.41? A link or url would be grand! THANK you!

    1. Backup.
    2. Install V2.
    3. Create a new database in V2. Delete anything you don't want.
    4. Select File > Import .
    5. Choose KeePass KDB (1.x).
    6. Browse to your V1 database.
    7. Enter the password.
    8. Save the new database.

    cheers, Paul

    Thank you Paul,
    4 a fast and easy to follow "How to" and it worked great!
    BUT.... I... B dnloading the 1.37 as the main KP 2.41app interface is to hard to see without "magnifier" zooming in and out.
    Seems the font on the main iterfaces is a 5 or 6 font, and some of us need at least a twice that or 12 or 14 font face.
    So I be going backward, rather "keepassing up" with the rest of ya, LOL!

    Again thank you very much!

    OH YEA..... now that 1.37 version maked the 'seeing eye dog" jealous. LOL!
    I can see the user interface and everything else is adjustable to "super-size!"
    Got to go and donate.... see ya all later.
    And thank the KP team and etc... for their fantastic APP!
