how do I reduce the size of texts on my laptop that got large after changing the touchpad?

I just had the touchpad on my MAC Book Pro changed and the next day the texts/ fonts became large. I am seeking help to see how to reverse the size back to normal size again. Thank you.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hello FaraM3272,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you.


When you say the fonts are large, do you mean in specific programs on your Mac or the entire device? Once we have more details about where you're seeing this, we'll be able to provide specific actions to use. In the meantime, try changing your settings. The steps are provided below:


Make everything on the screen bigger

You can adjust your display’s resolution to make everything on the screen appear larger.
1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Displays  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. On the right, select a resolution.
3. A lower resolution increases the size of everything on the screen.

Hello and thank you for your text. I tried the suggestion above but no change occurred. The entire computer's text/ fonts are suddenly huge and I am not able to find any ways to reduce the size of the text/ fonts.

I tried finding the resolution, but that changed only the light on the screen and fonts/ texts stayed huge/ large.

I thank your help again and look forward to hearing from you again.
