P: Modifying font and font size in the interface

Hi Francis, and kudos Kevin for keeping the topic active (last year - now chiming in in fall 2025)...I'm a long-time editor-producer-director in the longform documentary space, and I've really enjoyed talking to the Adobe team at places like Sundance. I can tell you that WE NEED THIS FEATURE BACK, and ideally easily accessible in settings, as monitors continue to diversify, widen and get finer resolutions. YES, we talk amongst ourselves about this issue, and a bunch of us (some with visual challenges) are really hoping the Premiere team brings back this basic ergonomic feature that especially helps those with aging eyes. It would be met with praise and NLE loyalty!

All that said...do we have a real sense of when this will happen? It's a BIG DEAL. Thanks!

Well said Mr.President. 

(This man lives up to his pfp)

There are many of us who do want font scaling options in Premiere for UI text. Staffers have acknowledged this has been requested, and is a fair user request, and is being considered.

That's as far as they go to letting any of us users know if something might change at some point. So we can hope.

did update anything?  OS, Premiere?

What I find frustrating is the microsopic size of the font used in the Properties and Effect Controls panels. If I'm trying to edit text in a mogrt, I have to use the Properties or Effect Controls panels, and the text in these is ridiculously small. Happily Adobe added a Font Size slider to the captions/Text panel, so I can at least edit my subtitles properly. PLEASE add this same functionality to the Properties and Effect Controls panels!

Just look at that nice, clear, easily editable text - I've outlined it so you can at least find the Properties panel...

Hey @robert_2063 , do as you wish. What workspace are you using when you cut vertical? I have mine setup under the 'Do Not Show' banner 🙂 , but you can move it up in the list.

The fact that Adobe marked this as a correct answer, and therefore suggests to buy lower resolution monitor as a solution is wild.

Yet still no fix to this. I am still forced to use old versions just to be able to work. 

Shall I mention that we can't even preview vertical footage easily in source monitor and therefore cannot easily pre cut vertical footage?

When my project is set vertically, but my preview window doesn't switch to vertical automatically, let alone let me do it manually... 

Davinci is looking more and more inviting...

Tenho sofrido com esse problema. Por vezes penso que minhas vistas estão ficando piores, mas saio do premiere e começo a ver normalmente. Isso deveria ser obrigatorio em todos os softwares.

If you can get through all the feelings-oriented marketing lingo, the page above annoucing Spectrum 2.0 makes it look like we might get UI scaling in the future...

 "The future is about feeling at home" ah yes, so that's what we've all been missing...

thank you! I really hope this is being prioritized.

Its been waay to long we've been either squinting at the screens or using the back door option, which I always felt iffy about myself, and now you describing what the console is for makes me more iffy haha, but it seemed it was the only way and we need to get work done so alot of us used it. Now theres no option avalable at all at the moment from my understanding.

Would be amazing if the default font was larger to begin with, for the sake of productivity and eye health.

Is there any purpose for it to be that small?

But yes a built in way to adjust the font size would be extremely helpful.

What I'm confused about is how this wasn't an issue in developing the program from the start, it seems like such a basic design element, what sort of screen or upgraded eyeballs do you guys have that that wasn't an immediate issue? lol
