More details, please.
What version, edition level (Starter, Deluxe, etc.) and release (R xx.xx) of Quicken are you using?
US, Canadian or other country version?
Click Help / About Quicken (Mac: Quicken / About Quicken) to get this information.
What version of Windows are you using?What screen size, screen resolution and magnification factor ("make text larger on screen" in Control Panel / Display, 100%, other?)
Are you using View / Use large fonts?
Do you use more than 1 monitor and is the 2nd monitor using a different screen resolution?0 -
R45.13 Starter Rel. 27.1.45.13 United States = Windows 10 Pro - 27 inch monitor - 1920 x 1080 - 113% - one monitor0

I would recommend changing your resolution to 100%. Quicken uses unconventional Windows display code and the font changes may not work as intended with 113%.

If you haven't rebooted Windows since the installation of the latest Quicken update, please do that first and try Quicken again.

monitors
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, but try not to exceed 125%
