Target font size of Studio 2015 is really small.

I repeated several times the procedure to increase font size without success.
I succeed in changing font size in source column.

Can somebody help me please? I'm afraid it's too hard to work with such a small font size.

Use these settings to resize the font (text) in the source and target segments in Editor window.

Adapt font sizes
Select this if you want SDL Trados Studio to resize fonts.

Minimum target font size
Studio displays all text in this font size or larger in the target language segments. Smaller text is displayed in this font size.

Maximum target font size
Studio displays all text in this font size or smaller in the target language segments. Larger text is displayed in this font size.>

How to increase font sizes automatically Jan 24, 2016

Hi Monica,

In Studio, go to File > Options > Editor > Font Adaptation, check the Adapt font sizes box, then enter the minimum point sizes you want. No restart necessary.

Hope this helps.

Bob

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Jan 24, 2016

Thank you Bob.

Unfortunately these steps don't work.

I repeated them several times.

There must be a bug.

You can dynamically adjust the font size Jan 24, 2016

Monica

Instead of using the option suggested before, please go to the "View" section of the ribbon, (while you are in the Editor) into the section "Font Adaptation" on the far right of the ribbon. You'll see 3 icons: click on the first one to activate the font change, then click on the second one (with the arrow upwards) to increase the size. Each click increases the size, do this until you see the size that fits you. The third one allows you to reduce the size again, also stepwise.

If you click again on the first one to deactivate it, Studio reverts back to the default font size.

Had the same issue Jan 25, 2016

I was changing only the font size in the source as the window had to be maximized in order to view the settings for both source and target.

It works, Walter, thank you - But I wish something more Nov 23, 2019

Thank you Walter! At SDL you really don't know anymore where to change something to get it right. Your tip is great.
But I can't get exactly the right size. Either it's too small, or it's too big for me. OK, but I just live with it.
It's a pity that SDL doesn't bother so much with the editor (the editor, that's the wheels of a car for a CAT I think).
Thank you again Walter!
