ive managed to change sizes of almost everything to my liking. the only thing that i cant find a menu for is the global font. see this screenshot the font is too small for me to read https://icedrive.net/s/XSQT66zGN5YivNNS5YD6P1zWy5W8 also the fonts written on lines or rectangles are too small. im sure this is related to the global font size. Can you tell me where to change this. I have changed all font sizes in global settings>graphic settings global> tab fonts. but this has not changed the two sizes as i have explained above. This all occured when i Installed a new monitor. clearly it is definintions issue. Any help greatly appreciated. |

There is not a way to change the font of the Watchlist in the Control Bar. The default font used for drawings is defined at Tools >> Tool Settings >> General >> Global Chart Drawing Font. Refer to the information for this here: Chart Drawing Tools: Global Chart Drawing Font (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Drawing Font) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi, I'm trying to change the font for the text tool, looks like the info above is outdated? You can see changing those settings didn't affect anything https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0598/6757/files/TEXT_-DEFAULT.jpg |

In the particular situation you show in your image, you are using the font specified in the configuration, as you have the option for "Use Drawing Specified Font" set to "Yes". Therefore, the font is going to be the Arial 22P Bold instead of the Arial 28P Bold.

Thanks but that didn't help me. I don't see that setting in the global settings. What exactly do I have to do so that when I click on the chart text tool it's 28 font size?

Do you want the text for all drawings (i.e. the Text tool along with any text displayed with any other tool) to all be Arial 28 point Bold, or do you just want the Text Tool to be Arial 28 Point Bold and the text for other drawings to be different?

To change the font for just the text tool, you need to change the configurations that you use for the Text Tool. To do this, follow these instructions: Chart Drawing Tools: Drawing Tool Configuration In this particular case, you need to set the option for "Use Drawing Specified Font" to "Yes" and then set the font you want in the option for "Font".
