Can someone help me with increasing font size in DU?

In accounting settings I am not given the option for larger font. It shows “no” as a choice but won’t allow a change. Thank you.

I know the option you're talking about. That feature has been removed. It's been gone for a few years. NT mahatmakanejeeves Jun 21 #6

On Safari (Mac), there are two boxes with the letter "A" to the left of the URL bar. Those buttons will change the font size.

I think Chrome has the same controls. I don't use a PC but I bet there's something similar.

In short, change the font size in your browser not the DU software.

Good luck!

It's definitely still available on PC browsers -- I'm using it now. Can't be used in "Skinner Mode", however.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size...

Make text bigger: Tap Larger Text, then drag the slider to adjust the text size.
For additional text sizes, turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes.
Make text heavier: Turn on Bold Text.

Hold down the Ctrl button ( lower left of keyboard), while hitting the "+" button ( plus button) until the font is the size you want.

To reduce the font size, do the same thing, only hit the "-" button instead. ( minus button).

It was [font size=4]{text}[font size=4] or something like that. The "center text " feature is gone too.

[center]{text}[/center]doesn't work anymore either.
