Add Ability to Change Font Settings (size, font, color, etc) in Quicken For Mac (166 Legacy Votes)
Please provide the ability to change font settings (size, font, color, etc) in all account registers on screen.
I suspect the demographics for Quicken users is an older group, especially the long-time loyal customers. Aging eyes are having more and more trouble reading the smaller fonts.
UPDATE: There is currently the ability to change font size and row spacing in registers. While there is also a font choice, it only offers a single font, Helvetica Neue, as an alternative to the System Font Quicken uses by default; it would be helpful to have more font options.
Additionally, comments below expand the scope of this request to include font size control in other places, such budget screens and the Windows list screens (Payees & Rules, Categories, Securities, Tags, Actions).
To vote for this functionality, click the little black triangle under the vote counter in the yellow box below. Comments explaining why this is important to you are also helpful (but make sure you vote).

This IDEA thread is for the user interface only. There is already an IDEA thread for fonts on reports here: Report Formatting OptionsThis topic should also apply to choosing the font and font size in reports.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Need to be able to change the font color..
Need to be able to change color (as well as size) of fonts. Whose's dumb idea is it to use GRAY on white background? This is a MAC, should be able to use any of our huge color picks.1 -
Agree wholeheartedly. I have several checking accounts and it's easy to place an entry in the wrong one. Color coding the checking registers differently would be a key to prevent this.
Thanks

I think what you may be referring to is actually the following. You may want to add your VOTE for the Option for colored rows of account registers.Agree wholeheartedly.

I have a Surface Pro 4 - the font size is way too small. Even when I connect an external monitor and use large fonts only the data is larger - the menu and related features are still tiny! Changing the font size should be a basic function. Most website allow you to do so.0

This discussion was created from comments split from: How do I change account text size?.0

Hello All,
The ability to change the font size and font style was implemented in the 5.12 release.
To access this go to View > Register Text & Row Settings.
This Idea also lists the ability to change the color of the font that has yet to be implemented.
Thank you for your patience and for adding your vote!

Thank you for showing the option on the View menu. I was looking under preferences. The only problem is that my only choices are System font for Helvetica Neue. I don't like either of those fonts. I want a font where the 6 and the 9 numbers don't curl around so much so that they can look like other numbers. I have some fonts. Something like Avenir would be interesting.0
-
@Mike Q I think the developers have indicated in the past they they are concerned if they let users choose any font, then some things might not fit correctly, horizontal or vertically. Helvetica (and the System font they use as a default) are fonts which were designed for maximum readability and are among the most-used fonts in the world. If you find it hard to distinguish a 6 or 9 from other numbers (an 8?), you might want to experiment with making the font size slightly larger and or bolder. I;'m not saying they won't someday make the choice of font more flexible; I'm just offering ideas based on what is available at this time.Quicken Mac Subscription • Quicken user since 19930

I'd like to add my vote and add that in the 5.12 release a font change changes ALL registers. I would wish to be able to change just a portion of a register entry to make it bold and/or to be able change font color and even add highlighting. I use the memos to leave myself breadcrumbs/remaiders when I make future planning entries and some get lengthy and it would be nice to be able to change a portion of a lengthy entry's color and highlight background for emphasis. For that matter (since I'm asking!), how about implementing text wrapping to the memo's field so that longer entries can be seen/edited in their entirety in the avaiable field width on a given monitor. thanks for your consideration!
