Description freeware 2023-07-15 07:18:30 UTC
Description:
The font in basic/macro editor is unreadable on larger screens.
Never mind the fact it's sans and you can't distinguish "I" from "l", but you also can't change the size or at least I can't find any option to do so.
Google shows "solutions" to older versions, where you could go Tools>Options>Fonts, but in 7 there is no settings to change fonts in the general options.
I need to change it to something like Iosevka and 14 pt at least.

Steps to Reproduce:
Just view Macro/Basic Editor on a 4k screen
try Crtl + Plus or Ctrl + mouse wheel to zoom

Actual Results:
Text is too small, you can't distinguished small "L" from large "i" or sometimes even see them.

Expected Results:
At least Ctrl+Plus or Ctrl+mouse wheel should zoom in the view.
But changing the font from sans to monospace is a must.


Reproducible: Always

Hi! What version of LibreOffice are you using?

Ctrl + Mouse wheel for zooming is available since LO 7.5.

The setting is still in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Fonts.

You set the font and its size in the section
Font Settings for HTML, Basic and SQL.

I see, just tested out daily dev version and it seems the zoom works now.

I'm using 7.2.7.2 right now on all of my computers, because Calc and Writer give me much less headaches than anything beyond 7.3 I tried so far until 7.5.

But it seems I need to think of upgrading given the other bug 154114 that completele broke Calc has been resolved in latest dev, and also things like pivottables seems to have been fixed to a somewhat usable state.

Sorry, mods, you can close this one as resolved or even delete it.
Thank you.
