Title: Electrum console - tiny font size
Post by: S4JJ4D on February 13, 2021, 06:22:05 AM
Hi, I am using macOS version of Electrum. The font size of the console is extremely small and I couldn't find any way to increase the size. Is there a solution for this? It's really a burden to work like this.

Electrum doesn't allow changing font size, unless you modify the code (font_size=X sp). Electrum follows the system's font DPI so you'll be able to change it by changing your Mac's font size in the system.

I tried some typical ways and changed my system font size. While some texts on Electrum became larger in size (like texts on menu bar and buttons), codes written in console are still very small. Can you tell me how I can access (font_size=X sp)?

I don't know to change it, but you could use terminal/console from your OS directly since you can use Electrum. An example,

Code:
electrum ismine "bc1qrlfn3eeq9a96u2et0cp6s3ackadfayjt7zh7hq" --wallet ~/.electrum/wallets/default_wallet

Take note you need to load/open the wallet first (whether with Electrum GUI or CLI)

Yes, I think I should terminal. Thank you :‌)

If you can stand lower resolution than your display's native resolution, setting it to 'Full HD' (1080p) or lower may normalize the console's text size.
