How to increase a UI font size?

[EmilyGraceSeville7cf]

Hi! The font size is pretty small on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS x86_64:

How to make it larger?

Insert a shape and increase the font size of the text on the shape.

Insert a shape and increase the font size of the text on the shape.

It will change the font size on the shape, not for Draw.io menus AFAIK.

[davidjgraph]

OK, so you mean the font size of the UI. The font size is likely your system font size.

There is a -z application parameter that takes a float (e.g. -z 1.4) that scales the whole UI.

I've tried to use -z {{value}} but it failed to work in my case for some reason with this error messages:
