Add option for font adjustment
Depending on screen size and resolution, users may need to adjust font size. Also, they may prefer using a custom font.
It would be great to have these options available.
I already compile my own version with customized font (Vazir 13px)
Changing the font dynamically might not be trivial, unless I find a trick. :/
Changing the scaling ratio in the contrary (for OS that still don't provide factional dpi scaling...) would be easy on the electron build. I might implement this last one first.
I made a PR (#286) in order to be able to zoom the application. Does this meet your needs?
Scaling for me is a bit different than changing the font size only. So I wouldn't close this one when adding scaling support.
But of course it's still a nice addition!
Here to throw my support behind a font size option. It's incredibly small on my screen.
If you are using the desktop app you can increase the scale and the fonts by the same time:
(hit Alt key to show the toolbar)
The tool bar was not intuitive at all, but it did let me zoom in, thanks. But Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- do nothing, which is why I assumed there was no way to zoom in.

It was a request from another user: to mimic the behavior of other tools that are doing the same (like Firefox). In one way it does make the app cleaner/more modern, on the other hand it's indeed less intuitive.

I guess you're on laptop? I have issues with those layouts, I can't make it work properly and since it's an Electron issue, I can't fix it myself. 😕
Today I saw this issue on Sengi. The current font is not complete for Persian and also it looks like a serif font.
Wanted to open a new issue but thought maybe it can be related to this issue. If user can specify font in setting (something that is available locally) this issue can be handled. I assume it is not a very big issue to add a text input in setting and set its value as first font for body tag.
Hi, I know this issue is ooooold...but I don't see a way to activate the zoom feature on macOS.
Also, no combo of CMD+CTRL+OPT+SHIFT+plus enlarges.
I see that Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- work on Windows, but you have to use the ones on the numpad. The ones on the number row don't work yet.
Where are you seeing the View menus above? It is not (AFAIK) reachable from Settings in the app on Ubuntu. FYI, freshly installed, new user, sorry for newbie-isms. Perhaps we need a "old eyes" tag here. Between the tiny fonts and the really skinny columns, it is giving me a permanent squint... :--)
Wow. I guess I had not bumped into another app that hid its menubar by default. But if that is the usual thing, then now I know that. :--) Much thanx.
It was a request of a linux user at first, it's true you can find this kind of behavior on Firefox for example. It's cleaner so I let it this way, but yes, it's not that common.
I just want to re-iterate that the CTRL++/CTRL+- thing is just a workaround, not the ultimate solution. As I add more and more columns (either via adding more accounts, or via more issues being resolved that let more things be added as columns), I'm ultimately still going to need a way to control the column widths and font sizes within those columns independently.
I'd like the columns narrower so I can fit more of them on one screen, but the font inside those columns bigger, so I can read their contents without slamming my nose into the monitor.
Just pointing that out. :-)
This issue was made not just for font-size but for font family customization.
@GrahamDo I would recommend opening a new issue for column width adjustment.
Originally, I did, I think. Nicolas closed it and said it was a duplicate of this one.
Unless I'm thinking of a different issue, I can't remember. I'll check.
We have quite a few issues about column width adjustment, like #373 #460 or #205. I try to keep duplicates as low as possible but I guess those already cover quite some use cases. 🙂

Older thread, but I just got Sergi today, wanted to point out that although you can hold alt to access this menu and click on Zoom etc. the Key commands/shortcuts listed next to those items "ctrl++" don't seem to work
Thanks for pointing that out (and yes, Sengi is great), but I know about it already.
That changes the font size and column width/scaling simultaneously. I need to be able to change the font size independently of the column width and scaling of all the other controls.

I just checked this. It seems it works only with +/- on Numpad!
This needs improvement for sure.

Ahh that explains it!! I'm using a ten-keyless keyboard!!!
