Changing Font size in the Alignment app

Question

Hi, 
 Does anyone know if it is possible to change the font size in the alignment app so that the source and target information is displayed larger, the same as you can do in the Editor view when translating? 
 many thanks. 
 Phil.

Hi Kester Newill , 
 there is one detail here that is important to be aware of. The font change does not apply dynamically &ndash; so if an alignment is already open in the alignment editor, changing the font size in the Editor settings won't have any effect. You need to close the editor and reopen it after changing the font size in the Editor settings. Or have them set before starting an alignment, which is probably the better flow. So, this flow will work best: 1. Go to File - Options - Editor - Font Adaptation, and set the desired sizes under 'Adapt font sizes'. 2. Now start the alignment. When the file opens in the alignment editor, these settings should now apply and you should see larger characters. And this flow should work as well: 1. Close the alignment editor (saving any .sdlalign file as required) 2. Adjust the settings under Options - Editor - Font Adaptation. 3. Re-open the alignment/.sdlalign file. The settings should now apply and you should see the larger characters. 
 Hope this helps, Daniel

Hello @ Phil Elliott 
 It is not possible to change the font size in Studio Alignment yet unfortunately- 
 The more users that request this functionality, the more ;likely it is to be implemented in future releases-
