Font size in Windows.

[Sharon Villines]

I’m afraid I asked this before and got a negative response but hope springs eternal.
. Maybe things changed.

I’m working on a laptop with a retina display. The sizes of font in the windows, like the indexing window, are so small I’m getting eyestrain. If I change the resolution of the screen, everything else is huge and I lose real estate. Is there any solution?

1. Go to the  Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”
2. Go to the “Display” preference panel, then to the “Display” tab
* *For Retina Display Macs:*
1. Next to the “Resolution” section, choose “Scaled”
2. Select “Larger Text” from the options available, you will
see a pop-up message saying “Are you sure you want to switch
to this scaled resolution? When using this scaled
resolution, some applications may not fit entirely on
screen.” so choose “OK” to confirm that you wish to use the
larger text size scaled resolution

Yes, but it makes everything on the desktop larger. All the other windows and menus.

I would like to have a choice specific to indesign.

This may come down to personal preference. And lens correction?
Some time after I got my retina laptop, I tried to set up my 27” iMac as a secondary monitor, but couldn’t stand the fuzziness.
I wear progressive lenses, but used fixed-length eyeglasses when I am working on the computer.
