I downloaded Q Deluxe. I increased the font size in the account. I want the font size larger for everything else, ie, Account List, Header, etc.

Have you tried setting the Override DPI scaling options, trying all available variations? One of them might improve things.But, since these areas of the Quicken window depend on Windows Display settings ... If all else fails, see the last bullet item in my reply above. And that's all you can do at this time.5

Font size problems? Display issues? (Windows)
If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of other Quicken versions please try the following:- Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
- Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
- In the Windows Start Menu
right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This
brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted
Quicken shortcut line item.
or - Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.
- Now click Properties.
- Select the Compatibility tab.
- Uncheck all settings.
- Windows 7, 8.1: Check
"Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
Windows 10: Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application" (also try the other available options!) - Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.
- Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
- Click Apply and exit.
- Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.
Some additional tuning suggestions:

https://www.quicken.com/support/work-around-display-issues-high-resolution-monitors - Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
- Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
- Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
- If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level.

Thanks for your help, but it did not fix my issue. In my Bank Account, in the register, I am able to change the font size within the register. Looking at that same screen, at the TOOLBAR and along the left side where all my ACCOUNTS are listed, I want to make the fonts larger. Can you help me ?0
