font_size

There are several ways to adjust different aspects of font size in Firestorm, each of them affecting different parts of the user interface (UI – the visible parts of the viewer, such as windows, text, toolbars, menu, etc.) or having different side effects.

If your font size is abnormally small, and the problem began after a Windows 10 update, see here.

If your font is sized normally, but you'd like it larger or smaller, see the settings below.

• What it does: The chat console is the onscreen scrolling text that moves up the left-hand side of the screen and has a semi-transparent background by default. This setting adjusts the font size of that text only.
• To find it: Type “onscreen” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window, or browse to Preferences –> Chat –> Visuals.
• To use it: Select “Small”, “Medium”, “Large”, or “Huge”. Click OK when you're done.

• What it does: This setting applies to the chat appearing in local chat, IMs, or group chats in the Conversations window and its tabs.
• To find it: Type “chat window font” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> Chat –> Chat Windows.
  Alternatively, click the list button ( ≣ ) at the top of the chat window and go to Font Size
• To use it: Select “Small”, “Medium”, “Large” or “Huge”. Click OK when you're done.

• What it does: UI Scaling changes the size of your entire User Interface, including all the text. It also changes the size of in-world floating text.
• To find it: Type “ui scaling” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> User Interface –> 2D Overlay.
• To use it: Adjust the slider up (for a larger UI) or down (for a smaller UI). Hitting OK at the bottom of the Preferences window will enable the change. Make your changes in small increments until you're familiar with the settings, as large changes can have significant, possibly undesirable, effects.
• Side effects: In some cases, a UI that is too large for your computer screen can cause the buttons at the bottom of Preferences to become inaccessible and will require you to clear your settings, restore previously backed up settings, or go to the Advanced menu → Set UI Size to Default (use Ctrl-Alt-D to enable this menu) in order to make the Preferences usable again. Even at not-so-huge settings, text in some windows may get all or partly cut off or may overlap with other text. The only UI Scaling setting that is fully supported is the default of 1.00.¹⁾

(Requires a viewer restart)

• What it does: This setting adjusts font size in all areas of the viewer without altering the UI scale.
• To find it: Type “adjustment” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> User Interface –> Font.
• To use it: Change the number in the box, click OK, and then relog. Make your changes in small increments until you're familiar with the settings, as large changes can have significant, possibly undesirable, effects.
• Side effects: Text in some windows may get all or partly cut off or may overlap with other text. The only Font Size Adjustment setting that is fully supported is the default of 0.²⁾

• What it does: This setting allows you to see the entire user interface in all caps, plus both your text and the text of others in all caps.
• To find it: Type “font scheme” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences → User Interface → Font → Font Scheme.
• To use it: Select “Deja vu all caps” from the dropdown menu, then relog.
• Advantages over simply typing in all caps:
  • You see the entire user inferface in caps, not just your own text.
  • You see other people's text in all caps, not just your own.
  • You are able to see all-caps without “shouting” at others, since you can type in lower case.

• What it does: This setting adjusts the font type and size in the script editor.
• To find it: Type “script editor” (without the quotes) into the search bar at the top of your Preferences window or browse to Preferences –> Firestorm –> Build 1.

• Name of the font used in the LSL script editor
  • Monospace
  • Scripting
  • Cascadia Code

• Size of the font used in the LSL script editor
