Having just migrated from an iMac24 to a iMac27 (i7) the screen res
increase (now c.109 ppi) has made the font in script editor and
elsewhere, bordering on unreadable.

The font in script editor on the 24 display looks like Lucida Grande 11
pt ; on the 27 display (although of course it is still Lucida 11 pt) it
is effectively more like 9 pt on the 24 display.

Each line is smaller in real space, by doing some simple measurements of
the same text strings on screen, and replicate text in an editor to
compare fonts, it is easy enough to deduce the comparative font size. So
in real space a 2 pt font size decrease.

Is there any means of resetting/hacking the FM font size (libs, prefs...)?

(no, changing the screen res is out, as is using the system zoom)


imac24(6.1, white): 1920x1200 = 2,304,000 pox
imac27 (11.1; Al): 2560x1440 = 3,686,400 px

imac27:imac24 = 160%
imac24:imac27 : 62.5%

imac24 @ 1920x1200 = 520mm width (approx.)
imac27 @ 2560x1440 = 592mm width (approx.)
imac27 @ 1920x1200 = 535mm width (approx.)

535:592 = 90.4% , a reduction of 60mm
