One more small suggestion, I would like the ability to be able to change both font size and type in the user set up preferences. Is there any interest in this idea?

    The font size and type used in the Quicken window in views other than the banking register views depends on your Windows settings for screen resolution and scaling level ("to make text display larger on screen")
    In Quicken it can also depend on whether View / Use large fonts is enabled or not.

    You can also try using the Windows Magnifier. Press the Windows logo key and the = key to open Magnifier. Customize Magnifier to increment Zoom in 25% intervals.

    Based on past requests I would say that there is a fair amount of interest in this, but I would also say that it will never be implemented.

    The first reason is because even to be considered the idea has to get 50 votes, and the requests for this have been too spread out to get such a high count.

    The second reason is because there isn't any way to do it in a uniform all at once approach. Quicken is made up of lots of different APIs that control the fonts differently, and as such they would have to pretty much go to every part of the program and implement a way to change the fonts.

    Interesting, it's not so much the size, I just think there are better looking font types that could be considered. Thanks for the insight.

    Am I missing something, or misunderstand question? The different type fronts and boldness thereof can be set in Quicken on each account register column. meaning. Say you have a NFCU Checking Account. You can reset the fonts and 'boldness of the print' by clicking on gear icon in NFCU Checking Account when it's open. After clicking on gear icon, look for register preferences, then toward bottom on pop-up you'll see FONT. You can also change to two column view if desired. For one thing, this allows you to increase the SIZE and BOLDNESS of the print for easier reading if needed. If you only have one column view, larger value numbers, such as 110,000 won't fit in brackets if BOLDER print is activated. Anyway, maybe this helps??

    Maybe I'm missing it too, what I took this to mean is the ability to change the fonts, size, and type all through Quicken. Yes, Quicken Windows has the changing of the fonts in the registers, but only there. Then there is the global setting of normal/large fonts, but not the fonts themselves, and only that one size. And there is also the Windows scaling, but again, that doesn't change the fonts.

    I see now what you guys are referring too. Meaning, ability to change 'font' & 'type' in the Entire Quicken Program. Your right, I don't know of any way to accomplish that. Would be nice though; especially for Quicken users who have vision difficulties.
