Font size in user interface is too small

I am working on a trial version of RoboHelp 10 and I can't read the interface. I really need this software, but will not be able to use it if I can't use the interface. All of my appearance settings in Windows are maximized for size. Any ideas?

Hi there
Well, if you are working on Windows 7, there's always the Screen magnifier app.
On a more serious note, you should really consider reporting this to Adobe so they will have it on their radar. Use the link below for that:

User Interface (UI) Too Small on InDesign and CC Suite

I have a 27″ IMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. Its native screen resolution is 2560×1440.
When I opened CC Indesign 2014 for the first time I was shocked to see that the tools and rest of the user interface were SO SMALL that I was having tremendous difficulty seeing them clearly. I'm talking 5 and 6 point type!!! And the icons... minuscule!
I lowered the resolution of the display, but type then becomes fuzzy. I searched the web and found that there were others who were having the same problem.
I find it hard to believe that a company specializing in software for the design/creative community would overlook something as CRITICAL as size of the graphical user interface and its customization to work optimally on different platforms and with different display sizes and to satisfy the particular needs of each user.
The UI obviously greatly impacts our working speed and facility.
I called Adobe and their tech support could not help. I called Apple and got the same.
I've been a graphic designer for over 20 years. Frankly, at this point, I find the suite UNusable (I took a quick look at Photoshop and Illustrator and the same issue applies).
This is just unbelievable! Anyone out there have an answer?
Someone suggested we should repeat our complaints INDEPENDENTLY in the general forum instead of them being buried on one thread. GREAT IDEA!!

CC 2014 has a Expermental Preference you can use to increace the UI size 200% for High resolution displays

Font size in writing mail is too small for first two lines and then switches to 12. How do I change this to start and stay in 12.

When I want to reply to a message or just compose one, the font size is Times Roman 10 which is too small. After two lines it becomes 12. How can I change the font to start and remain Times Roman 12?

This survives closing and reopening Mail. When you open a New Message window, the body text will now be 14 point.
That's how it works on my iMac with OS X 10.8.1 but it refuses to change when selected on our new MacBook Air with the same OS and Apple Mail version. Is there something about the track pad that it doesn't recognize the click?

Font size used in discussions is too small

I don't know how other people think about it, but I find the default font size when reading and writing discussion extremely small. 10 point is totally insane for the high resolution displays of modern computer screens. For instance, the editor window when using a standard 1900 x 1200 resolution fits 250 characters in a line. Unfortunately this cannot be changed in the browser preferences without affecting other font sizes and thereby screwing up the page layout. I can use CMD-+/- to zooming in and out, but its just annoying.
The current font size is difficult and tiring to work with for no good reason. It is easy for the browser to read the current screen resolution. Why can the font not simply be change to something more suitable?

Perhaps an option to set the default font for discussion threads in the user preferences would be the best idea. One would think however that the Jive developers would have come up with something like that already.
For what it's worth:
http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/font-size
Do not specify the font-size in pt, or other absolute length units for screen stylesheets. They render inconsistently across platforms and can't be resized by the User Agent (e.g browser). Keep the usage of such units for styling on media with fixed and known physical properties (e.g print).
Once again, I wonder about Jive development. Anyway, 10 pt is not best practice. It's standard for printed media, but not for screens. A search in Google shows that most recommend 16 pixels or more. Not sure what this is in points. I think 10 points is about 12 pixels, depending on screen dpi/ppi. I cannot imagine how tiny 10 pt must look on any of the high resolution Retina displays, which have twice or more density than conventional 72 dpi.

Font in Photoshop PDF help is too small

Font in Photoshop PDF help is too small.
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf
How can i ask photoshop developers to increase it?
How can i increase it before print?

It's standard 11pt type for the most part, so I don's see how it could be too small. Simply use the zoom options in Acrobat/ Adobe Reader, if you have difficulty reading it. There is no way to actually increase the font size and have the document reflow.

Dreamweaver user interface controls appear small and hard-to-read on high-density displays.

I have 3840x2160, 24" display and many of the user interface controls are small, hard to read and in some cases are cut off.
I see this issue existed with Photoshop and Adobe introduced a "Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows" under "Experimental Features"
Photoshop: Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows
However I don't see this option available in Dreamweaver? Is there another work around?

Wow, 4K resolution within a 24" space. You need a 200% increase in UI size just to work, I would think. Can you post a screenshot of the issue? I would like to see that. ;-)
With the changes the Dw team have made to the UI over the last few releases, and with the latest Workspaces, it almost feels like 720p is the main focus, or like the only Dw users that matter are on small Macbooks, with very limited screen real estate. I can still work on my laptop when I'm out of the office (17" at 1920x1080 on Windows 8.1), but the icons and controls are pretty small. Even with the added screen real estate, and the fact that the UI is still intact, I'd hate to have to use it for extended periods.
I voted as well.

Using windows 8.1 and photoshop cs4 the font size of the MENUS is so small as to be almost unreadable. how do i make the menu fonts larger. this is happening also with bridge

Thank you so much. You are absolutely right. I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.
Thanks for your trouble and regards

Font size and user form

Hello,
I'd like to know if somebody find a solution for the font size issue on user form.
since BO 2005, the user can change the font size. the application will format all the controls of form with the good size.
However, the layout does not follow very well for user form.
If the font size is changed while a user form is open, the aplication will reformat it perfectly, the controls are bigger, and the distance between the controls are ok
But when the user form is open again, it keeps the distance and control size of the XML file but change the font size, so the layout is very bad, sometime the static text or the caption could not be read, so it's not possible to use the form as is.
I use XML to create form, I haven't try by code, but in my case, I can't use code because there are a lot of controls in the form.
Any idea if it's possible to call the Business One procedure to resize the form and its control (not only the font) ?
Thanks you

Try resetting the FontSize of all items (and columns) to the one you used for the design after loading the form.
I use a simple loop over all items and an inner loop for matrixes and grids to set the font size in their columns.
Now users can have a larger font, but the added forms will use the original design's font size.
This approach has some drawbacks:
- Added forms use a different font size
- Some of the controls will still get their size based on the system default font size
(checkboxes, drill-down arrays, headercolumns, perhaps more?).
- Focused item is not resized by this (so far I have been able to work around this).
- Changing the font size while the form is open, will break the design as the
font size does not change, but the control sizes do.
This is not an ideal solution, but it might give some help, until a better one presents itself.
If the users don't use a dramatically different font size, my form design work quite ok,
even with the drawbacks or at least it is better than nothing. It is a good idea to test
the form with different font sizes to make it more flexible.

Font Size limited user

How can a limited user change eg.g. font size (System Initialisation / General Settings) ? Only Professional Users are allowed to use this menu item.....
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Gordon,
for me it is a bug or at least a design error. There is the possibility to change font-size or brackground picture - but most users can't reach this functionality.....
Have heard in 8.81 there are changes. Thanks for your answer...

Photoshop interface is too small on high-res screen (Windows 8.1)

I have downloaded the Photoshop CC trial. My screen is a 13.3" 3200x1800 screen (0.092mm dot pitch), so the default size of the interface in Photoshop is very difficult to read. I have tried changing the interface size and exiting, then restarting Photoshop, but changing the font to large doesn't seem to make a difference.
How can I get a useable interface size in Photoshop CC?

CC 2014 has a Expermental Preference you can use to increace the UI size 200% for High resolution displays

Font size on user administration ... identity management

Does anyone know where in the Portal Display Theme I need to change the font size for the User Administration/Identity Mangement screen?
thanks
Angie.

Hi,
The Font size changes are applicable across the portal, there is no option to change the font size for one screen in particular.
You can make changes to font size in the Top-Level Navigation which will be effective for all the roles.
And changes to Font Size in Global Content Area.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-

I seem to get a variety of font sizes with different websites, usually very small compared to IE. How can I enlarge these?

Facebook's page is oversized and bleeding off the page. Gmail is a small font, shop.com/pamguttman is a very small font. I've looked at screen resolution but that doesn't change anything.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Help! PS Elements 12 user interface is so small it's almost unusable...

My editing options, etc are WAY too small!!!! Can someone PLEASE tell me how I can change the view? If I uninstall and then select custom install when re-downloading, can I select to download the program in a larger format?
I'm using Photoshop Elements 12 on a Lenovo Yoga2 Windows 8

Have you tried changing your screen resolution to see if everything becomes a bit larger? To do this, close all programs that are open and then right-click on your desktop. The small screen will open and you need to choose Screen resolution. Click on it and change it to something like:
1440 x 900
Of course you need to try other resolutions as well to see what is better for you.
Good luck and post back.
