SciNotes just zoomed way out while I was working on a file (actually 2 files), and or the font size dropped so much that the files are not usable. If I change the font size (currently 13 so should be ok) to a larger size, ie 20, it only changes the font on the command page, not in SciNotes. What happened? Did I hit a combination of keys that implied a zoom out. If so, how to zoom in? Not finding anything on the web.

I tried restarting SciNotes, SciLab… and I even rebooted my computer, and this did not fix nor effect things.

Which Scilab version and which platform/os do you use ? There are two separate font preferences for the command window and for Scinotes:

The Scinotes font size can be changed afterwards by using CTRL-mouseWheel over its window.
