How to Change the Font on the Bill and Income Reminders Page

Under "View/Select Large Fonts" is a joke. There is no visible change. I have changed the register font. All fonts in Quicken need to be changeable when you get to be my age.

Hi @JerryC58

To the best of my knowledge, I believe that users cannot adjust the font size for that screen (I tried and agree with you that the font size stays the same). I believe that you are likely using the "Stack View"; if that is true, you could change to either the "Biller Name" or "Due Date" option(s), since the font size in those views are a little larger than the other two options.

I find it ironic, that the "more modern views" are less customizable.

I will try your suggestion. Where do I change from stack view to one of the others?

Unfortunately, like so many times over the years, when the helper says go here, here and here, then you will see this, either the here here part doesn't work or, in this case, when I get there it doesn't look anything like what it's supposed to.

I have never been to the page, so I assume it is some default setup. It is a different view of bills and reminders on the home page but the font is still small. Guess I'll have to live with it.

Thank you so much for your time.

With a lot of features on Quicken there are multiple places one might view a given feature, and if you don't specify exactly where you are people answering the questions might be in a completely different place. In this case, I had no idea you were talking about the Home view (and I can tell that @Frankx didn't either).

I tried Large Fonts on the "New Dashboard" and I see it has the same problem, nothing changes, even though Large Fonts is supposed to scale everything up by about 20%. The Dashboard only has the one "card". It isn't like the one on the Bills & Income tab.

Other than using a setting that magnifies your whole screen or the Windows Magnifier right now there isn't a fix for this.

Frankly, I consider this a bug. Large Fonts magnifies things in the "old GUI objects".

Like if you turn on the Classic Dashboard and use those "widgets" Large Fonts does make them larger, including graphs.

There is a Bill and Income Reminders snapshot that can be added to the old style custom Home tab views. Does View | Large Fonts work with that?

I just reread this:

 It is a different view of bills and reminders on the home page but the font is still small. Guess I'll have to live with it.

And I realized I locked into "home page", when you aren't talking about the Home tab. You are talking about the Bills & Income tab, but just that changing from stack view to the Biller Name or other views didn't solve the problem (still small). Sorry, I got that wrong.

I agree that none of these really increase the size. They all ignore the Large Fonts setting.

Given that, then the Classic Home Dashboard "Bills and Reminders" probably isn't exactly what you want since it only shows the old/manual bills and reminders and not the Online Bills and such.
