firestorm font size help

[Ishtara Nyn]

I use a 50inch monitor for my pc and I've adjusted all font sizes for other apps etc. to work with the screen but I can't figure out how to make the font size bigger on secondlife. I use firestorm. can anyone help?

You can try Prefs/User Interface/UI Scaling. May do some weird stuff because the floaters don't scale in the same way as the text so that the text doesn't fit and so on.

You didn't say which viewer your daughter uses.
If she happens to use Firestorm viewer, you can actually increase just the font size, as well as the UI size Madelaine mentioned above.

On Firestorm:

• Avatar Preferences -> User Interface -> Fonts.
  Here you can adjust the font size, choose a different font (we include an all caps font which some people with vision problems find easier to read).
• Avatar -> Preferences -> Chat -> Visuals -> Onscreen console font size (this just changes the size of the console/chat text only).
• Avatar -> Preferences -> User Interface -> 2D overlay -> UI scaling (this is the setting Maddy gave you above).
• Avatar -> Preferences -> Skins - we also have some higher contrast viewer skins available which may help with vision problems, for example, choose Firestorm Skin, High Contrast theme.
