in v3.4.1 default font sizes are too big

[cpraveen]

Just tried v3.4.1 on mac using the release DMG file and find that all font sizes have blown up, see picture. Because of this, it also goes out of the window. Is there a way for me to scale down ALL the font sizes used.

This problems seems to be with the GUI, when I save the plot to a file, font sizes look ok

Yes, go to Options/Appearance and uncheck "Use default system appearance". Click the three dots next to "GUI font" and choose a new font size. When done click "ok" and then "apply". To save these settings click Options/Save Settings.

Let me know if this solves your issue.

That was changing the font of GUI menus, but I want to change the font used in the plot windows. Basically, I want to scale down the size of all fonts in the plot window.

Sorry. What you want is Controls/Annotation.

Under the general tab, change these values to your liking:

Depending on if you're doing 2D or 3D, go to the correct tab and adjust the font scale there as well:

Adjust the legend font size in the Objects tab:

Let me know if this resolves your issue.

I think this is a qt6 bug. I also see this problem when using VisIt on my Mac laptop's internal display. When I instead open VisIt on an external display (e.g., connected via HDMI), I don't see this font sizing issue.
