   Did you test control-scrollwheel for magnify capability ?   
      
   That allows the odd editor to use a different font size,   
   on demand by the user. It isn't really a default font choice,   
   which might be offered in a settings panel.   
      
   If you have a new monitor, perhaps a system wide display "scale setting"   
   might be a better choice for an adjustment method. Rather than   
   poking individual windows with the control-scrollwheel.   
   (The scrollwheel without holding down control, just scrolls of course.)
