- Thread-topic: Font resizing in OSX
Our product uses web views to surface the majority of content within the
main section of the screen. The rest is native code. What I notice is that
the entire screen does not react to “command” + “+”. I don’t have insight
into the code yet, so I’d like to know what are the best practices for
making fonts scalable within OSX.
I’ve gone into other programs, such as Outlook, and was able to increase
the font sizes. However, this may be because I was looking at products
that use text editors. So perhaps the solution is to modify the display
settings within the personal preferences and our code is adequate.
Thank you for your feedback.
Ted
