Problems with size of letters

Question

One translator has a problem on his computer. It does not appear to be a problem with Paratext as such but the interface between Paratext and Windows. I am attaching a screen shot from a zoom shared screen. I am not able to be with the translator, so I am wondering if anyone has an idea of what to do to locate and fix the problem. He is using Windows 10 and the latest version of Paratext.

The letters in the top line of the Notes window are so big that only half of it can fit in the box. There is a similar problem in the box for the project name and sometimes for the name of the book.

Hi @Iver+Larsen,
I was able to reproduce this by changing the windows Font size settting to be very large.
This setting can be found under Ease of Access > Display. You can also find it by typing ‘text size’ into the windows menu, which brings up “Make Text Size Bigger”.

As you said, it causes problems with certain toolbars which seem to have a fixed height. If the translator does need that large text, you might try some of Windows’ other scaling options under Control Panel > Display. If Paratext comes out blurry, you might have to play with the Advanced Scaling options.

Thanks. I shall try it out on Monday when the translator is back in office.
