Fonts resize after confirming preferences

stefano

This happens every time you go to the Preferences menu (Edit -> Preferences) and press OK also if you don't change anything. So, if I have enlarged the font size, (well I am a bit old now and prefer a font with a larger size than 8) I need to resize it again (and sometimes the first Ctrl+MouseWheel actions are not accepted). This is annoying because I need to change very often the Option Strict On/Off for VB.NET snippets. Is it possible to avoid resizing the font after a confirmation on the preferences dialog? (Or add a full featured Font Dialog where I can set my font size once and for all? )

Thanks for reporting - this is fixed in the latest beta:

I do not see any font selection for anything other than the editor font. Am I missing something? For all people who think small fonts are ok, you will find that you are victims of unnecessary eyestrain. Have you ever wondered why most people do not like reading on a computer for long periods? The cure is much larger fonts.

Yes, large fonts can make everything more readable, especially on high-DPI screens. I have a 4K monitor and use 180% scaling.

So can I ask why you don't you change your DPI setting in the Windows control panel? Presumably you want all applications to be readable, not just LINQPad?
