This is a great idea! I've always had to play with the Windows defaults at risk of not getting it back to wherever I started or finally landing on a good fit for one area but then have another area not fit on the page at all. Even the appointment view font list is wonky because "12" in one font might equal a "9" in another and vice versa, and some cut off the view completely for no reason (where you have 1/2 a schedule and must scroll down to see the other half). It's so strange...
Not just font size, also be able to change font type would be great. I know a lot of people that prefer a sans over a sans serif or visa versa and this would allow everyone to set there's accordingly. Hygiene has had me try to find a way to change the font type of their clinical notes recently to no avail. I even changed the default for Windows and that didn't fix it.
Big flaw in Dentrix by not allowing the font size to be changed in other areas than the schedule. Eaglesoft is much more customizable than Dentrix -- :(
I have to scale down DPI in order to have my OK/Delete buttons visible, and then my Chart font is illegibly small. Somehow Appointment Book font is customizable, but nothing else.
Dentrix GUI is garbage. So much wasted space on the screen and microscopic font and icons. Look at the various screens and look at the open space with no info in it. Who designed this?! Someone with a 60" monitor?!
This does not only magnify the screen within Dentrix! this is a system wide magnification. Using this feature however lets the screen resolution stay the same.
As annoying as this is, the option is very quick to change especially once you have done it a couple times. I, personally, Change this value higher as I go into Dentrix to work but then will set it back normal when working outside of the software
This software is extremely archaic!! The ability to change the font size should have been written into the programming at its inception. The fact that this many years later we are still asking for this is RIDICULOUS!
Yes bigger font and wider ledger would make it so much easier for the eyes. We formerly had Datacon and that is the only thing I miss from their system other than that, I love Dentrix.
Yes bigger font and wider ledger will be nice for our eyes. I formerly worked with Datacon System and that is one thing I miss from them. The ability to make ledger wider and make font bigger would be really really nice. Other than that, I enjoy Dentrix.
Too hard to find patients' names on the perio chart itself. Would prefer to be able to change font size for all info. on the chart. The whole idea is to be able to view this information, right?
This would be VERY nice!!! Currently the practice name or doctor's name is in HUGE letters at the top of the page, and the patient's name is in teeny tiny letters below it. THIS IS NOT THE FOCUS OUR PRACTICE WOULD LIKE TO PROMOTE. It places the emphasis on the doctor and how much the plan costs as opposed to the patient and their care being our priority. Thanks!
This was posted a few years back, has the ability been implemented? Even after adjusting DPI, it doesn't resolve this and the only location I can find an option to change the font size is in the appointments. On a current day monitor using the proper resolution, the size of... everything... is rediculous. My eyes want to bleed.
I am having a major issue with this. We just upgrades our monitors and nothing is helping with the font size. If you increase your DPI within windows, only a few things change/increase and some of the things that do increase causes more issues because they weren't designed to show in a larger font. I am struggling to see many of the screens except the appointment book. PLEASE make this change ASAP.

Would like to see a more current update regarding this issue. The font is REALLY small! why!

Being able to change the font size in each module is necessary.
Same issue, needs more customization

Follow these Steps:
- Right Click Desktop
- Left Click Display Settings
- Under Scale and Layout Section
- Change the size of Text, Apps and other Items
Change this value higher to Magnify the View

I just spent over 2 hours trying to get a fix on this. It looked good, but then changed back. Larger font size is imperative!!!

i'm for it
