I’m having a hard time reading the fonts in the print history page. I’ve searched the preferences and there doesn’t appear to be a zoom or resolution setting and ctrl-scroll wheel doesn’t work. Anybody know if it’s possible?
If you meant trying to see details on the printer screen, I use my phone camera on 3x or more zoom. I find it easier than squinting at it
No, I guess I wasn’t clear. I’m actually talking about studio on my laptop, and the feature to view print history. Although my old eyes aren’t that of a 20 yo, I have trouble reading the smallest font type, so just asking if there’s a way to zoom in. I have not been able to find one.
Studio itself does not let you zoom anywhere except in the Preview/Prepare views of the model.
In Windows, there are scale and text size controls to improve accessibility. These controls do affect all programs and, at some extremes, can shift items out of view, with no controls to pan the screen.
AI says Linux has similar controls, but you may need to experiment to find a combination of settings that works for you across all programs:
Linux offers comprehensive accessibility controls for scaling and text size, primarily found in GNOME (Ubuntu) and KDE Plasma settings. Key options include activating “Large Text” in Accessibility settings, adjusting display scaling (100%-200% or fractional) for high-resolution monitors, and using gnome-tweaks to set custom text scaling factors.
Key Accessibility & Scaling Controls (GNOME/Ubuntu)
- Large Text: Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Seeing and toggle “Large Text”. This increases text size by 1.2x.
- Display Scaling: Go to Settings > Displays to change the scale to 100%, 200%, or fractional values (e.g., 125%, 150%).
- GNOME Tweaks (Advanced): Install
gnome-tweaksto adjust font scaling factors beyond default settings.- Keyboard Shortcuts: Use
Ctrl++to zoom in andCtrl+-to zoom out in many applications.- Terminal Font Size: In the Terminal, open preferences to customize font size specifically for the CLI.
Alternative Methods
- Command Line: Use
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.2to set the scaling factor.- Linux Mint/Cinnamon: Go to Preferences > General to adjust display scaling, or System Settings > Font Selection.
- HiDPI Settings: Adjust the DPI level in settings to force larger font scaling.
Other Accessibility Tools
- Zoom: Enable screen magnification in Settings > Accessibility > Zoom.
- High Contrast: Use High Contrast mode, available in the accessibility menu to improve text readability.
