<p>What sort of system is this I'm interested in what operating system in particular, what screen resolution?</p>
<p>If +8 is too small it suggests something outside the norm from a hardware perspective.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489914922021-01-25T06:31:51Z2021-01-25T06:31:51ZFont Size is still tooo small<div><p>It's a 4k screen 3840 x 2160 (16:9) resolution<br>

<p>INSTRUCTIONS - Linux and High Resolution Screens><br>
================================================= When running Linux on a computer with a high resolution display, some distributions will let you adjust the "scaling" of the interface to provide clearer graphics at a larger size. If you use scaling on your Linux desktop but the contents of the Moneydance window appears very small then you may need to adjust Moneydance's scaling.</p>
<p>To change the scaling, close Moneydance first; then open Moneydance.vmoptions with a text editor add the following two lines to the bottom of the file:</p>
<p>Linux location is /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance.vmoptions</p>
<p>-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=2 -Dsun.java2d.uiScale.enabled=true</p>
<p>After adding those lines, save the file and restart Moneydance.</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>PLEASE NOTE: that as of this writing, non-integer scales (for example, 1.2) are not supported. See: <a href="https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/linux/linux-and-hidpi-high-resolution-screens">https://infinitekind.tenderapp.com/kb/linux/linux-and-hidpi-high-re...</a></p>

<p>To do this follow the instructions in the article:</p>

<p>After doing this you may well need to reduce the font size.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489914922021-01-25T07:25:28Z2021-01-25T07:25:28ZFont Size is still tooo small<div><p>FWIW this also works on Windows, I have no idea if it works on Mac.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489914922021-01-25T08:05:48Z2021-01-25T08:05:49ZFont Size is still tooo small<div><p>I found the file but can't edit it... it is set as ready only... how do<br>

Here's how to do the edit in Linux:</p>
<p>You ideally need to be able to open files as root via a right click.<br>
- This assumes you are on a Debian based system 1. Open the Terminal<br>
2. Type sudo su and press enter. Provide your password and press enter<br>
3. Then type apt-get install -y nautilus-admin and press enter<br>
4. Now type nautilus -q and press enter<br>
5. Finally type exit and press enter, and close the terminal window<br>
6. All set. Now when you want to open a file as root, simply right click the FOLDER and select Open as Root (/Administrator).</p>
<p>So, now find the /Opt <em>FOLDER</em> , right click on the Moneydance <em>FOLDER</em>, Select Open as Root. Enter your password. Now you can edit the Moneydance.vmoptions file.... Note: You may need to logoff and then login to see the changes!..</p>
<p>The alternative would be to launch Terminal, navigate to /Opt/Moneydance then type sudo in front of the command you would use to edit the file.... e.g. sudo vi Moneydance.vmoptions</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/489914922021-02-05T08:22:16Z2021-02-05T08:22:17ZFont Size is still tooo small<div><p>Thank you Stuart Beesley.
