hello, i just loaded an older version of mirc 7.19 onto my win 10 pc. for whatever reason i cannot get the font fixedsys to be larger than 9. matter of fact...there are no other choices other than 9. the same version loaded on my win 7 pc give me fixedsys font size 9 or 11. 9 is a bit too small for my old eyes. if i change the font to something else such as arial, there are tons of sizes to choose from. too bad i dont care for the font itself and would prefer fixedsys. anyway to get fixedsys to fint size 11 in win 10?
thanks

Weird. on Win7, 7.43, I only have '9' available in the list for fixedsys, same on 6.35 actually.
Anyway, you can use the /font command to manually set the font
/font -z -12 fixedsys would reset all the fonts to that settings

Yeah, all the windows in mIRC will have that font setting.
It's worth noting that the negative use of the fontsize (-12) should, according to the help file, match the size in the /font dialog, which as we just saw, only has '9', or maybe '11' for you, still, it's not 12, so there is an issue somewhere.

tried the command with -10 and although its listed as 10 it actually looks more like 9 There is definitely a bug imo... Let's see if Khaled sees this and reply, otherwise making a bug report would be a good idea.
