vsdiff font size
« on: March 13, 2024, 05:03:30 PM »
Sometimes I share my 4k screen and want to show the diff tree as well as file diffs in a bigger font for those without 4k screens.

Is there any way to change the font size for vsdiff?  For one invocation of vsdiff?  Is there a command line option?

there are commands wfont-zoom-in and out that appear to work in both the diff tree and the file diff window.

On windows 11 there is also magnifier.

Tools > Options... > Appearance > Fonts > Diff Editor * Windows

You can also configure these font sizes per-language:

Document > <lang> Options... > Appearance

I edited these and it made no difference.  I also restarted Slickedit with these values and it made no difference.

I tried invoking from within Slickedit as well as from bash and they're still my small "original" font.

Playing some more, it looks like when I select "Default Fixed Font (DejaVu Sans Mono)" it ignores my Size selection, but when I select "DejaVu Sans Mono" it respects it.

Which selection is used for the Multi-File Diff window?

Also, is there a programmatic way to modify those Diff Editor fields in the Fonts window through a macro?

Unix/macOS will pretty much always use the "Diff Editor Unicode Source Windows" font
