P: (Mac) Metadata Fractions are too Small

[Mike270234846stf]

When looking at photogaph information under metadata, the fractions shown for shutter speed are too small. They appear to be about 3 point type. Is there any way to change the style so they're more legible (e.g. 1/3) or increase their size. This is on MacOS and the font preferences are already set to large. "Use typographic fractions" is unchecked, but seems to make no difference. The screen shot below is much bigger than actual size, but these are the fractions I'm talking about.

Rephrasing this as a bug report: The Mac LR option, Preferences > Interface > Use Typographic Fractions, has no effect on the display of shutter speed, which is always displayed using unreadably small typographic fractions.

To reproduce on LR 13.1 / Mac OS 14.1:

1. Set the option Preferences > Interface > Use Typographic Fractions and restart LR.

2. Observe that Metadata panel > Default displays Exposure shutter speed using typographic fractions:

3. Uncheck the option Preferences > Interface > Use Typographic Fractions and restart LR.

4. Observe that there is no change in the display of Exposure -- it still uses typographic fractions.

5. Windows LR doesn't have that preference option and it never uses typographic options (much more readable):

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, please consider moving to Bugs -- the Preference option Use Typographic Fractions doesn't work (see the recipe above).

Confirmed that the option Use Typographic Fractions now works in Mac LR -- turning it off results in much more readable exposure information!
