Thanks for your kind assistance, but I must be hopeless!

Nothing works for me; I cannot increase the size of the font(your
first example).

I will have to keep using a magnifying glass.

Did you investigate *Scale* within Win 11, as suggested?

It certainly works for me. To prepare this, I adjusted my system back
to 100% (from 125%) and the display within everthing in Forte Agent 8
became miniaturised... and 150% positively huge!

This is what happens. Everything enlarges except what I want!

Go big or go home. I found out you can get 32" TVs for $25-50 used and
that is what I am using for a monitor in a couple of places. I can
see that little font.

This is what happens when I adjust the scale in *Windows*

My screen-shot: <https://ibb.co/fXysM5D>

In Windows 11, go to: Start >> Settings >> System >> Display
and change the 'Scale' drop-down from 100% to 125%.

I get what your screen-shot shows, when I adjust the font size in *Agent*.
There is no setting in Agent for what you want.

I did that, Ralph, but while it made a difference (increase in font
size) in the body of the message, it made no difference in the panel
at the top that I am talking about - as small as ever.

I am perplexed. Thanks anyway!
