Forums mIRC Help Font size question

I recently started hanging around on Japanese channel on freenode.

Now because the Kanji are kind of small to read on this 1080p monitor - unless I put my face up to the screen - I decided to increase the font size.

The problem with this is the nicklist size also increases with it, condensing the lines in the channel window to a smaller area.

Is there some kind of option or mirc.ini hack I can do to keep the nicklist at a size completely different to the channel text size?

Not to my knowledge. Personally I'd make a script to send the channel text to a custom window with a larger font size. Use the on top setting to float the window over the channel text section.
