The selected size displays numbers, but the actual letters are much smaller. Help!!

Look at the lower left corner: your first screenshot says 43.2% zoom, the second 35.4% zoom. In other words: the second screenshot shows you are looking at a smaller zoom on screen 😉

Hi Cogus:

Screen shots would help us here, along with the specific font name. Typefaces with small x-heights (small lowercase letters) look much smaller than typefaces with large x-heights. In the example below, all of the text is 12 pt, but the text set in Coranto 2 looks larger because it has a larger x-height (or larger lowercase letters).

Thank you for your answer.
But my problem is that even if you set up the same settings as these pictures, the size of the letters is different (Korean language program).
If you look at the numbers, you see the same settings. But it's different in size.
Documents that fit the font size of the top picture are old documents
The small picture on the bottom is a new document that I made.
When you create a new document, the letters will appear small. I don't know why.
Is there a menu where I can set the all font size?

A longer description of what you are seeing may help us help you.

Are you at 100% zoom? Is the size in pts? Is it between parentheses?

Does it work correctly for other fonts? Perhaps you have a font with (some) exceptionally small characters. The lowercase in Zapfino, for example, is *much* smaller than one might be expecting. (Of course its capitals are still rather large, at the same point size. That's by design.)
