The digits in the Coordinate Box are very small and can't be seen well.
Can somebody tell me how to increase the font size? It can't be done in Display Properties/Appearance i Windows and I can't fint a way to do it in Archicad either.

In AC7.0 you used to be able to set Palette Shapes to "Magnified". It appears that they took that away in AC8.*.
This concerns me since my office is about tofinally upgrade from AC7.0 to AC8.1.2 and I have a user that NEEDS the magnified Palettes!
What's up GS!

In missing the lack of palette enlargement, I bought an inexpensive fresnel lens to suspend over that corner of the monitor where the palettes live. It seems kind-of "Brazil-like" [Gilliam movie] but helps my tired eyes at high resolutions. Now where did I put Kim Greist?

On Windows it is possible to enlarge it:
In the Registry Editor (regedit.exe), go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD\ArchiCAD 8.1.0 INT R2\Font Description
Here double-click the 'Extra Small Dialog Font Size' value and change it to e.g. 14 or 15 from 12. It will do the trick.
Other fonts control various other font sizes of Dialogs and palettes of ArchiCAD.

It could have been made easier though - ArchiCAd Design Team, how about a tab in Preferences???

Just my idea of the thing.

- I understand this discussion took place years ago but it still seems to be a problem. I would like to change the text size in the coordinates palette on a Mac and I am currently running ArchiCad 15. Can anybody tell me how this can be done.
