Font in DeviceDropdown

That is correct . . guess you are running 175% scaling ?
jabauer650:
Thanks, Mathias. 125% but, yes, scaling.
I think I'm starting to understand. What I didn't realize is that Windows provides a way to either scale everything or just increase the size of text. I may be able to meet my needs by just scaling text. Is that what you're suggesting?
What I just now tried is to change Windows settings to 100% scaling and Ease of Access > Display > 'make text bigger'. This does appear to make text bigger in File Explorer but not MC. So I then used Configuration > Explorer Panel settings > Display > Fonts and adjusted those up. That seems to do the trick.
Is this what you had in mind? Asking for myself and I figure others may also find the steps helpful.

No MC support scaling, 125% scaling should look fine.125% should be almost as 100% for most places. but can be different sometimes. because 125% scaling is a weird scaling factor that cause fraction error when caluclating sizes.
jabauer650:
OK, thanks. In the screenshot I posted, it looked pretty odd at 125%. Looks to me like the tab font is almost twice as big as the "249 GB..." text to its immediate right.
To work around this admittedly cosmetic item, I've ditched the win10 scaling for now, in favor of Ease of Access > Display > 'make text bigger'. Unfortunately, I'm discovering other apps such as Notepad++ don't honor this, which forces me to comb their config options to manually bump font sizes. I'm starting to regret the move.
Perhaps I should go back to win10 scaling, even if the tab font discrepancy looks odd. If there's any way for me to improve the appearance in the above screenshot, please advise.
Thanks again, and thanks for the wonderful product.

Hello all, hello jabauer650, hello Mathias!
I'm still on XP edition ver. 9.8 - there is no fonts issues, which came with 10.x !
Just checking ver 10.2 build 2745 - the same large fonts in drop down devices menu.
Still hoping it will be fixed. I understand here is a complex logic of Win10 with all those scaling, ppi, retina, bigger fonts. Although Win10 is the same, and the new MC version brings this outstanding fonts in some menus.
Perhaps my opinion wouldn't be popular, but I still believe it could be managed to work just normally, just like in 9.8
Thank you so much!
