MSF (or global) feature request: Font size control in the help windows.

[jan-sandahl]

Getting older and stuff...

But also, the help isn't great set up for reading typography wise. The lines are too long compared to font size and line spacing. And I can't make the window as narrow as I please for better reading/shorter lines.

As I dig deeper into MSF, I have to read it, but I hesitate and only do it if I really must - and then it's not a pleasant experience. A road to headache. I end up changing the whole theme setting to larger, but then everything gets too big for my screen, so it's a hassle. An issue that might be easily remedied I hope?

Shouldn't be too hard with a separate style class and a plus-, and minus sign to adjust to personal preference? Maybe controls for both line height and font size?

Which Style are you using?

The Information pages uses the "Normal" font (as is used elsewhere in the GUIs) and the font type. size and spacing can be adjusted in the Textured Style Editor. Here is one example that I just whipped up:



BUT .. any changes will also affect many other text elements in the GUIs.

Yes it does - currently, but not if you specify a separate class - or an added style class and make it available to user control. Not a biggie ordinarily. But I don't know how it's all built so... I'm just hoping.

Your example doesn't help. It's still headache highway for me. Typography rules exist for reason (readability), and it's not in place in the help pages I'm afraid. I don't want to change anything else in the gui personally.

But thanks for the effort! I'm aware of those settings.

The HTML pages ("Display in web browser"-button at the bottom) will do for now - but it's an extra step. Plus, I almost missed their existence entirely.
