Wow, thank you, will give it a try! Leave it to an independent developer to do what Adobe somehow can’t manage after 12 years of user frustration and empty promises.

So how’s this big priority accessibility issue going for Adobe? Sure would be nice to not squint at 4 point text on a 4k monitor, but at least this highly voted request is only 7 years old vs. the similar 12 year old request in After Effects.

While there is no option to increase or change the interface fonts… at least they are using sans-serif fonts, but not only that, Adobe!!!

 

Highly legible fonts, characterised by simple, clean designs with open counters and large x-heights, should be used!!!!

 

I don’t understand why you (Adobe) mix 2 type of fonts!

One more “easy reading” and another one using such a “confusing font” where the 6 is barely distinguishable from an 8!!!!

 

Adobe: build for designers but where their own designers don’t think about UX

This feature needs to be added expeditiously.

The UI font is just too small and the old way of increasing its size is now gone. This is just terrible.

there are tons of younger people that have been squinting here too, so you're definitely not alone my friend. i really wish they could just try to find a way to address this.

BRING BACK ADOBECLEANFONTSIZE!
I CAN'T SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Seriously, I can't think of a single reason why Adobe would remove this?
We don't all see well.

Yes please put in on top of your list. I have really nice monitors, but realize that with increasing age, it will simply be more and more difficult to read nytihgn soon. I have very good monitors, both Eizo, 2560X1440, but if I am really tired, after a 10 hr day, or at 2 am, I have to use a magnifying glass to read some of the UI´s texts, as they are between 4-5 point size compared to a Word document.... Maybe hire someone above 50 yrs of age from time to time and not only the 18 year olds...and remember your community, the old ones like me, have grown and with your product and unfortunately, we are a growing population of cutstomers reaching this age now.. Thanks!
