Apologies, but I have made changes to this in the past, but all of the posts online - none of them refer to this setting specifically and I have spent an hour looking for the correct setting.

I want to make the price ladder font smaller, not the bid/ask, the black prices in the middle of the ladder, basically showing more prices. I think it may have been a scale setting, but I cannot recall; you can change the fonts for everything else on the ladder. I have racked my brain trying to get this set. Thanks in advance.

Right click on the price column, then Scale Settings>Scale Increment (if 0 it's auto, for 0.25 increment for example, put 0.25).

Thank you for the reply; this decreases the text size for bid and ask also and greatly increases the size of the "cells". I am simply trying to increase the available number of price points on the ladder, like decreasing the view in a browser which makes everything uniformly smaller on the page.

To change the font size of the prices in the DOM, you would have to change the "Chart Font" which changes much of the text in the graphics area of Sierra Chart. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Chart Text - (current font name)

As User939951 points out, if you are really wanting to have more prices showing, then you would want to change the Scale Increment for the Price Ladder, as this will give you more prices showing up. Refer to the following:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Increment (Scale Settings)

SOLVED: the simple answer is usually the correct one: it is "Ctrl + Click/Drag" on the price ladder and it auto adjusts the size, the same way the regular charts work on the prices to increase spacing.

I was complicating the issue; thanks for the reply!
