How do I change the font size as they are too large on my retina MacBook Pro

How do I change the font size as they are too large on my retina MacBook Pro?

Here's a sample. The size is greyed out.

Fonts are VERY important because when they are too large, they obscure what I am doing.

The font size is not a central setting, sometimes the size comes from Windows, sometimes from other places. Are you talking about fonts on standard UI elements such as buttons and menus, or is this about fonts on the grasshopper canvas?

Thanks for your replay. It's the buttons in the grasshopper display. I have circled them in red here.

Is the font on regular components/parameters also wrong? I'm not responsible for the Karamba component, but it could be it uses code to draw text that is mine.

David, do you have any more adice on this?

I switch between different systems (Rhino 5, Rhino 6 WIP, Rhino 5 OSX) a lot and the font size has major implications on how a definition is drawn and can sometimes really affect readability.

I understand that there are some system settings involved, but it would be great to have an idea what to play with.

Many thanks!

There's not much to be done I'm afraid. Grasshopper on Rhino5 doesn't pay attention to the system screen scaling while Grasshopper on Rhino6 does. Since I can no longer release upgrades for Rhino5 that version is permanently broken this way.

Hey David,
I'm facing the same issue with Karamba3D components text being drawn extremely large on high resolution screens. Im working on Rhino6 with GH1.0.0007 and Karamba3D 1.2.2, knowing that this plug in is not of your making, would you have an idea on how to make it display as the rest of the GH components?
THanks
