Changing text size in SKILL command line

BL202501134740 6 months ago

How do I make the size of the text in the skill command line larger? I'm having trouble reading what I'm typing due to the small default size. I know where to change the size for Allegro but that doesn't seem to affect the skill window. I don't have much skill experience and I'm trying to get familiar with the terminal in the program.

You can increase the text size by increasing the font size in Setup/User Preferences/UI/Language & Fonts. However this will change the font size for everything so I doubt that you will want to do this.

Setting the User environment variable ALLEGRO_HIGH_DPI_ENABLED to 1 might be a better option for you if the cause of the problem is your use of a 4K monitor.

I'm using 17.4 so maybe the options are different because I have a Fonts folder instead of Language & Fonts.

Both changing the font size there and setting that variable did not affect the skill interface text size. The user preferences did change everything else in the program and that variable seemed to do nothing.

I just tried this using version 22.1

Changing Setup/User Preferences/UI/Fonts/fontsize to 12 & restarting allegro made the text larger for me...
