very tiny text

Started this program for the first time. On a 55" monitor the text measures less than 3/64 ". Is this an error of the application? If not, how can the text be made larger so it can be read without using a magnifying glass?

The OS you're using would help.

Works fine for me on a 4k 43" monitor on Windows 10 with the Wireshark preferences font set to "Consolas 10.0"

Oh h. Thanks. I was using Windows 10 but I checked on PCLinux and it's the same tiny text.

Adjust application settings to match your preferences.

Oh hello. Thanks. That does change the font size for the output of a stream capture. But I couldn't adjust the size of the text for the program UI itself. Menu items like Edit, Capture, Analyze or Tools etc. are hard to see. I can see and read them but I have to get real close to the monitor.

What version of Wireshark are you using? On Windows, the size of the Menu items are controlled by the windows scaling settings. If you go to System->Display, under Scale & Layout, what scaling percentage is being used? Note that this setting should affect all applications. Do other applications have small text?
