9pt is still too small, in my opinion.Josef Templ wrote:I agree that the default is too small.
I don't agree that this depends on the display resolution.
The visual appearance is scaled according to the display's DPIs (dots per inch).
The default font is used for the log window and for new text documents, mainly.
Most of our source code is in 9pt. So why not use 9 as the default?

I am also use 9pt and DejaVu Sans Mono, but it looks bad with default Arial. For Arial 10pt look good.Josef Templ wrote:I agree that the default is too small.

I have good eye sight however prefer 10pt for Arial.
The aim of the Center is to distribute BlackBox, to make it used wider. This 8pt is the atavism from the time of small resolutions. The first impression of the user plays very big role in general experience of the product. So that is why default font size should be changed.Robert wrote:I think that altering this default is an unnecessary change, and currently intend to vote against any such change.
