I wonder whether there is any possibility undiscovered by me so far to change the character view size on the screen. The characters are a bit small for me, and I should be grateful to get them better readable. Is there any way to achive this? If not, has SDL plans to provide such a feature in the future?

No Zoom directly Aug 23, 2009

But a font adaptation setting.
Just go to Tools - Options - Editor and chose Font adaptation (Extras - Optionen - Editor - Schriftartenanpassung) and set the smallest and largest font size to be used. You can also change the font contrast there, which is helpful especially for PPT files.

WHY??? Aug 31, 2012

Is there any good reason why zoom in Studio cannot operate just like it does in so many other programs? Ctr + scroll is such an easy solution.

I remember that long time ago Jerzy mentioned something on this forum that this function will be used in the future for a different purpose but years are passing by and there is no other function. Just a nuisance.
