OpenCPN Right Click Menu Font - ragbagger - 2023-10-22

Hi,
So this is probably a stupid question but I haven't figured it out yet. I am running OP3 on Rpi 4 connected to a 30" TV via HDMI. I am also  VPNing from a 9" tablet at the helm. Everything works great! And thanks for all the great work that has gone into this! The only issue I have is the OpenCPN right click menus are very small on the 9" screen. I have made all of the texts a readable size via the settings->User Interface-> font menus but I haven't found one in the pull downs that resizes the right click menus. I know I'm probably missing something dumb but how do you change font?

Thanks,
Brad

Hi Brad
I am using a 7 " screen display, and I understand what you mean ! Cool

Open CPN uses the sytem font for these menus.

You can close OpenCPN and right click on he Desktop, to call up the Appearance setting menu, there select the System pannel, first line : Font and you can adjust the font size, then click  select, and validate by clicking OK.
Bee moderate in your change, because as this is THE system font, it will impact many other texts, messages, menus etc. ...
