In Tools->Options->Editor form you can select font, but no size. Selecting anything other from default MS Sans Serif (i.e. Courier New) produce very small and unreadable fonts. Where to change font size?

    The font size can be changed by menu View/Text Size/Increase or Decrease. It's not so obvious though.

    Hello,
    I just made exactly this, just after having installed XML Copy Editor on Windows 10 64 bits 1803, and the text remains displayed in size 4, whereas I should need 12 or 14.
    I did not have that problem before. I had to restore my machine last week, with an image of six months ago.
    I opened XML Copy Editor with privilege elevation and it changes nothing.
    Any idea what happens ?

      In the help file I read there are keyboard shortcuts.
      Ctrl U is OK to get a larger font, and that stays memorized for the following session.
      If one day you have time it can avoid questions to get the menu options active.

    I'm interested in the size 4 default - I can't reproduce that at my end. I'm pretty sure it didn't do that on Windows last time I tried. I should rebuild anyway as the Mac port is one version (and lots of wxWidgets versions) ahead of master. Ctrl+U and Ctrl+D are unfortunate shortcuts - they were chosen because Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- weren't working correctly at the time (if I remember correctly - it's a little while ago).
