To be clear, the size of which font(s) and the operating system?

XnView MP is installed on Windows 10 home 64bit. Want to increase the font size of the entire interface.
Thanks.

I have the same interest - ability to make the program text larger throughout. I'm on Linux Mint 22.1 and have the latest version of XnViewMP. Thx.

I *think* that is probably a Mint setting in System Settings, I'm actually in Mint Cinnamon myself but always find the many font settings confusing, however I know that in Windows everything can be scaled using a single setting. Maybe one of the many Mint users on the forum can give better advice?

This a screenshot of the screen on my latest 14" laptop,I could probably enlarge it a bit, limited choice of images available... :wink:

For Mint 22.1, at least, I found various ways to change text size IN apps, as well as system-wide. The Settings -> Accessibility choice helped alot.

In Mint Cinnamon I have Accessibility > Magnification and Zoom settings, one of those?

Interesting discovery if that works for apps generally, some of which do display very small on a 1920x1080 pixel screen.

@cday: Yes, that's the place I tried out setting changes. Your Mileage May Vary, depending what looks best to U.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences and opinions.
I use XnView MP on Windows 10. The font size in XnView MP can be enlarged by setting the Windows display characters larger, but that is not the proper way to use an application.
Appreciate.
