Magnification only integers and menu fonts not scalable

Magnification only appears to work in complete jumps of 1 - no bits in between. Also disappointed to find out today that the menu font cannot be enlarged as it was in Zorin 11 - I may go back to that to showcase to other users.

Go to settings, then universal access, then click on Zoom. From there you can adjust the magnification levels. For me, it has all the adjustments necessary to get the job done.

That is where I went - when you click on plus it shoots up to 2 - time to install 'dconf-tools' methinks!

I got mine set to 1.50. Now I can't remember if I did that by clicking on just the arows, or by clicking inside and typing in an exact number but point is I did it and have it set to 1.50 which is perfect for me.

Well because 2 was so big I wanted to see if I could get away with 1.1 or 1.2 - back in the days of Zorin 4/5 you could choose that option - but then it was the superior Gnome DE of version 2 not 3!

Just going back to the menu font, I got my wires crossed - pretty sure that it was in the Beta of 12 that I could change the font size of the Menu and not in the final release!

You can change the font size of anything in your installation, not just through the standard Zorin appearence interface, but also with tools like Ubuntu Tweak, Dconf, and KDE System Settings. And as always, where there is a will, there is a way, hence the command terminal.
