Comment text size small in pane vs large in edit mode

[CliffW]

I am trying to make the comment text larger in the comment pane in Acrobat since I find the default size too small. I found this in both an existing document and a new document I made to test this.

Samplesteps:

1. create a new PDF from Word (or open an existing PDF file)
2. open in Acrobat pro (I'm on Macbook pro -- Sonoma 14.6.1)
3. Acrobat > preferences > Commenting: set font size 18, font Arial, OK (note: the option says "restart required" so ...)
4. restart Acrobat, reopen file
5. open comment pane
6. select some text in the file > click the comment icon on the pop-up menu
7. start typing the text in the comment pane --> RESULT: text looks nice and big!
8. Post the comment

RESULT: the text is back to the automatic tiny text

***Is there some setting I'm not adjusting to set the "committed/posted" comment default text size?

@S. S This does NOT fix the issue at all. You clearly aren't understanding the question. We don't want to change the size of the text in the EDIT COMMENTS box, we want to change the size of the text of EXISTING COMMENTS in the COMMENT LIST/PANE.

I'll save everyone the trouble of checking back here. There is no (currently) way to change the size of the comment list text in Acrobat DC when using the "old Acrobat" interface. You can change the resolution of your display to make everything appear larger, but I suspect few people want to do that. However, if you switch to the "new Acrobat" interface, the text appears much larger in the list view, and from what I can tell, it actually respects the comment font/size preferences.

The only problem (in my opinion) is that the "new Acrobat" interface is confusing, cumbersome, bloated and takes up a lot of unnecessary space. In short, it's horrible.

Still not there. I have the latest Acrobat Pro and I struggle to read notes.
