This slider allows you to adjust just the text size. Therefore, there are now two different system-wide settings in :ġ) Make text bigger. Microsoft removed the setting from the Control Panel before they finished moving it over to the Settings app, however in the Windupdate, the setting to make text bigger has been added to the settings app. It is available from many other shareware sites and recommended by The Windows Club at Affinity Photo is now even more of a joy to use, though I still wish larger icons were available.Īdvanced System Font Changer is available free from I increased my system fonts from the default 9 point to 11 point and now Affinity Photo is a real pleasure to use at my normal trifocal viewing distance rather than having to press my nose close enough to my screens to use bifocal distance.

In the meantime, I have found that the free utility Advanced System Font Changer lets you adjust several Windows 10 system fonts that Affinity Photo uses in its menus, tooltips, and layer names. If a free program can do it, why not a paid program. I do wish that Affinity Photo had such a capability. You can also scale the contents of any window independently of the surrounding user interface. The Vivaldi web browser enables you to scale the entire user interface continuously from extraordinarily small to extraordinarily large. Unfortunately, Quicken's font size adjustments do not affect the investment transaction registers, only savings and checking and charge account registers. Users of Quicken complain frequently about small fonts, although Quicken has an option for setting font size for the account registers. It turns out the problem of tiny fonts exists across the Windows universe ever since Microsoft removed font size options (and many other adjustments that were available even in Windows 3.1) from the Windows control panels.


These are a special problem for anyone with vision deficits (including most people my age) and for anyone with high definition monitors. I put off buying Affinity Photo for some weeks because of the tiny fonts and tiny icons. Others have called attention to problems caused by the tiny fonts in the Affinity Photo user interface.
