Font Size

Hey guys, how you're doing? I just bought a new notebook, and installed Vegas normally. Everything is correct, but the Vegas font is too small in this new notebook:

(new notebook)

(old notebook)

Is there a way to increase the font size?

 

(I'm using Vegas Pro 18, build 527)

Try enabling (or disabling) "Use high DPI scaling" in "Options> Preferences> Display"

Otherwise there is another DPI scaling setting in VP's <.exe> Properties> compatibility you could experiment.

It seems many of Magix products are designed for folks with 50+ inch workspace monitors and better than perfect eye site. I had to reduce the resolution and increase the DPI % in my 4K laptop to be able to see Sound Forge and Vegas text and toolbar icons (which where smaller than pinheads). </end rant>

I have disabled "Use high DPI scaling" and now the font is ok, but the resolution is very very poor:

(you're not able to see the poor resolution in this print, but Vegas is like in 480p)

Can I increase the resolution?

Doesn't just changing the display resolution in Windows solve this?

VEGAS uses the display and font settings from Windows. If you want VEGAS to display at a more zoomed in level, you need to change your DPI settings for Windows.
