Default Font size in the Object Properties Editor

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Objects properties editor? I think I can catch errors better in my typing at 2am. Thanks!

Default Re: Font size in the Object Properties Editor

i dont think so, I had a look thru the TCL for object property editor, but i didn't find anything that mentions font size, i have 2 suggestions for you,

1. Maybe microsoft magnifier that follows typing as you do it anyway

2. Type earlier on in the evening!

I'm in the mood for a quick hack .

Edit tcl/acobject.tcl and look for this about 2/3 of the way in:

Code:
 
set UI(prop_object_data) [ text $w.object_data -width 40 -height 5 \
-yscrollcommand "$w.ys set" \
-xscrollcommand "$w.xs set" \
-wrap none -padx 4 -pady 4 \
-exportselection true ]
at the end, add '-font {TImes 20}' before the ']'

Code:
 
set UI(prop_object_data) [ text $w.object_data -width 40 -height 5 \
-yscrollcommand "$w.ys set" \
-xscrollcommand "$w.xs set" \
-wrap none -padx 4 -pady 4 \
-exportselection true -font {Times 20} ]

I assume you ment the file name should be ac3doject.tcl. I made that change and it is crashing the software when I try to load the ac file.

Message says:

Error: Access violation at 0x7C34969 (tried to read from 0x000000000), program terminated.

Sorry for the false alarm. The file type converted to .txt from .tcl. I switched it back, and now it works great!!!

You have saved me countless visits to the massage therapist.
