Newbie here. How can I increase the font size in the "Message Log Bar". Also, need to increase font size in dimensioning dialog in modelling.
I think I lost my config settings when i tried to fix myself. See screenshots.
This is the stuff I have in my config.pro that pertains to fonts. I like to have a monospaced font so that my relations text looks more organized, more like programming code.

! The font setting affects most of the text in the program, most importantly
! for me, the relations editor. The necessary characteristics needed:
!
! * Monospaced (makes indentation noticeable)
! * Zeros have `slash`
! * `i`, `I`, `l`, and `1` are distinct
!
! A list of possible candidates:
!
! Font Name Option(s) Comments
! --------- --------- --------
! Code New Roman : 10 Clear, zeros dot
! Consolas : <none> Reasonably nice
! DejaVu Sans Mono : <none> Uses dot for zero
! Fira Mono : <none> Not sizeable (?), zeros dot
! FixedSys : <none> Old DOS console window style
! Inconsolata : <none> Bit hard to read
! Liberation Mono : 8 Clearest, zeros dot
! Monaco : <none> Characters like = are tough to see
! Terminal : <none> Crude, not really recommended
! Ubuntu Mono : 10 Acceptable, nothing special

Maybe some of these will apply to what you're looking for. The lines that begin with a "!" are comments. Lots of them, so I provide future me with some notes as to what I've tried, etc.
There might be more font options that can be set, but I haven't used them. You'll have to search about for the configuration options that apply in some way to the UI or fonts.
This did not work in my case. It still does not adjust the font size in the "MESSAGE LOG".
Found another post that stated to change the HIGH DPI Setting on the parametric exe. Change to system. Increased the size of the ribbon bar and the UI interface. However it is a little blurry.
