Change font size in GDL script windows

In AC26 Mac, I could change the font size used in GDL script windows, by choosing 'Edit' > 'Text style'.

In AC27 Mac, this option is greyed out (image) and cannot be selected. Why?

What is the way to achieve this in AC27? My tired eyes would appreciate any advice.

Must be because of the new GDL editor in 27/28.

It is greyed out for me in Windows system as well.

 

There is now a new 'Command' button, but I don't see anything to change font type (only zooming).

Interestingly, it you use a command it moves to the top of the list.

On Windows I can hold control and scroll the mouse wheel to resize.

I'm in v24 though.

I would guess command and scroll should work?

Works the same on Win11 AC28

On Mac, Ctrl+Scroll zooms the whole screen, making the borders of the screen (menus and tools) get out of sight.
What's strange is that there is that option in the menu, and it is only for changing the font size displayed in the GDL script windows, but the option is unavailable for some unknown reason. It looks like a bug, but it could be that I'm missing something.

Same behavior for me in AC 28.1 (4001) on Sequoia 15.3.2  Menu is gray/disabled.  I went into the Work Environment to confirm that it was a valid menu in 28... and it "is"... but is grayed out in the WE also so that I cannot click on it to get the normal description.

It would be nice to be able to change the font type, but the most important thing is to be able to change the size. Thanks, Barry!
