Fonts in tool box are so small they are unreadable

I have downloaded OpenCPN 5.2.4+6b314e6 on my Lenovo Thinkpad, Windows 10.


The tool box fonts are miniscule. I followed the info on the user interface tool, moved up all the scales. The tool bar increased in size but it made no difference on the tool box fonts.


I've also increased the magnification of my Lenovo display and that has made no difference.


Any thoughts on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Search the manual. there is a good search function. Then on a page use Ctrl+F to search.

There are no texts in the toolbox. Only icons.
Do you mean the popup that appears when you hover over a tool?

Thanks RGleason. That did it! Appreciated. I had previously searched the manual but must not have thought of searching for 4k.

Are you over or under 50yo... Same thing happened to me.

Sure would like to see a screenshot of the error, if you can reproduce it.
Thanks
