To build on what Iain has said, I like ALL of my fonts to be slightly
larger. Here is a list of config options that I have documented for our
users if they would like to change the font type and sizes. The
TEXT_HEIGHT_FACTOR is the one that you want for sketcher. However, that
will also increase the font size inside your normal working windows,
too, not just the sketcher. The other options can be used to increase
the font size in the other menus.
1. MENU_FONT - If you would like to change the default font for
your menus, use the config option MENU_FONT. To set the value for the
option, enter the font name, style and size separated by commas. For
example: MENU_FONT Times, Bold, 24. It is not necessary to enter all
three values. If you would just enter Bold, Pro/E would keep the
standard font that it uses, but would make it bold. This option
requires a restart of Pro/E to take affect.
2. DEFAULT_FONT - To set the default font for the rest of the areas
that MENU_FONT misses, use DEFAULT_FONT. This will change the font of
the model tree, layer tree, message window, etc. Enter the same
information as the MENU_FONT config option. (See item #7) This option
requires a restart of Pro/E to take affect.
3. POPUPHELP_FONT - To set the default font for the pop-up help
menus, use that POPUPHELP_FONT config option. The font values would be
entered the same as with the MENU_FONT config option. (See item #7)
This option requires a restart of Pro/E to take affect.
4. TEXT_HEIGHT_FACTOR - To change the font height of the characters
inside the working window, use the config option TEXT_HEIGHT_FACTOR.
The default is around 60. A value of 40 would make the text height
quite a bit larger. This value can be tweaked to your own preferences.
This option requires a restart of Pro/E to take affect.
