Thread: Font size in query windows
Hello, I'm running the latest OS X binary and hoping to replace my existing expensive query tool with it. However, I am having some problems with the SQL Query window. The input window default font is too small, almost unreadable ( running 1900x1280 resolution ). I don't see how to increase this font size or change it to a fixed-width font. I tried to go to the preferences pane but the Preferences menu option is disabled. Is this a bug? Thanks -Dan

On all other platforms the options are under File->Options on the main form only, but OSX adds a Preferences menu to every menu. You can then change the font on the Query tab. Regards, Dave.

I don't see anywhere in the Query window to change a font, I've looked at every button and context menu.

This seems unusual to me, but I can work around it. It would be more Mac-like for the Preferences window to be available at all times. Thanks for your help. -Dan

The preferences option will be disabled when the query tool or edit grid are in the foreground, but should not be when the main object browser window is foremost. Regards, Dave.
