Just getting started with Studio 2019 and tired of squinting at the 8pt typeface. I have done the following:
- Clicked on File
- Clicked on Options
- Clicked on Font Adaptations
- Changed Minimum Source Font Size and Minimum Target Font Size to 12
- Clicked on OK
Nothing changes.
Saved file, closed app. Reloaded app. No change.
The above steps were repeated twice. No change.
Suggestions??

Thanks very much!

Font size in Trados Nov 27, 2018

Hello John,

the Font Adaptations only change the font within the editor, i.e. the source text and the translation. If I change the font size, this is immediately applied when I click on OK. I set the Minimum and Maximum Source/Target Font Size to 14 and now it's always 14. Maybe having the same size in all these fields might help.

If you want to change the font size of the user interface, however, you would have to change the settings for your entire operating system as... See more
Hello John,

the Font Adaptations only change the font within the editor, i.e. the source text and the translation. If I change the font size, this is immediately applied when I click on OK. I set the Minimum and Maximum Source/Target Font Size to 14 and now it's always 14. Maybe having the same size in all these fields might help.

If you want to change the font size of the user interface, however, you would have to change the settings for your entire operating system as Trados unfortunately doesn't provide that option.

Let me know, if you need help with that.

Kind regards,

Janine

In the Editor screen - View - Font adaptation Nov 30, 2018

Hi,
You don't have to change any Windows settings.
To change dynamically the font size, in the Editor screen, Press the View tab. The last item on the right is the Font Adaptation Group.
HTH,
Sandra
