why is this still a problem? unbelievable. If I change the display scaling setting on windows, all the panels and context menus become so big they become painful to use.

(Please provide a way to) change the (UI) to a size that sight-impaired, older users are able to see.

After 2025 update the 'option'  to increase font size has been removed.

I am guessing lots of people used this option (including me) as on a large monitor the font is very tiny.

Being able to change font size in the Project window does not solve the issue, nor does scaling in the OS.

Just updated to Premiere Pro V25.

I can't seam to change the UI font size anymore.

This should have been in the Preferences years ago.

Any work around???

Previously I could (perform an unsupported workaround)

I have a 4k moniter and the product is not useable as the text is so tiny

Please get this fixed ASAP. Old eyes don't work with such ridiculously small fonts.

Can this feautre be reinstated, as the new interface's UI font size is very small?

 

Either this, or provide an in-software way to adjust the Global UI altogether, from an accessibility perspective.

UI has been changed significant. Setting in (Adobe internal engineering tools) won't be re-instated.

That's why it's important to match your 'high resolution' monitor with the the right pixel size. If the pixel size is too small (ie: it will be if you have a hi-res monitor that's not physically large enough), you'll have problems, especially with 'older eyes'. For me, I can't go beyond 2560x1400 with a 32" monitor. I'd need at least 40" to move to UHD.

 

When you use OS screen scaling, you are essentially dumbing down (reducing the resolution) of your very high-res monitor.

I just upgraded and found the UI font to be oh-so-small.  Has anyone else run into this, and is there a workout or new location for this setting?  Thanks!

The Entire UI has changed, so has the font.

No way around this.

It's possible to increase the DPI scaling for Windows but doesn't affect Premiere really.

dagmarillo, if you're on the mac, you can map "zoom" to control scroll wheel and zoom in where ever your cursor is.  Not an ideal solution, but might help...  Not sure if there's something in windows to do the same thing.

Seems they are all gone.

Does not seem to be any workaround but setting scale in the OS.
