SEA-PHAGES | Is there a Way to Adjust the Letter font Size in DNA Master?

fbaliraine	The letter font size in DNA Master is quite small, and unlike a pdf or word document, we are unable to zoom in or zoom out. We project the DNA Master file on the white board, but because of the font size, both instructor and students are having trouble seeing the letters on the while screen/board unless we walk up close. I have asked my IT Team here and they tell me there needs to have a way to adjust the font size within the software or to zoom in. We have looked at the preferences but not seen any option to do that. Even if we adjust the font size on the PC, that does not help with DNA Master. Any suggestions? Thanks and Happy annotating!

fbaliraine	Hi Debbie, Thank you for your response. I just wish there was a way to zoom in or out of DNA Master or to adjust the text font size, but will settle for what we have. Best regards, Fred Edited 27 Jan, 2025 17:13

cdshaffer	I don't know how much control you have with the PC and the white board, but if you have access to the video setting you can try to lower the resolution of the screen on the PC and see how the white board responds. DNA master is using a static font, so the letters are always a certain number of pixels. If you can change the screen resolution (in the most ridiculous case change it to 800X1200) then each pixel becomes larger and the DNA master window should become larger. However, if you are using a PC in a classroom the PC is probably locked down, worth a try but no guarantee.
