iTunes 10 Fonts OVER large?

This is simply a lack of product testing or maybe Apple just didn't get time to fix it. They are aware of it now. I have my system fonts set to 125% - I have a large 26" LCD and I have the issue as well. iTunes 10 doesn't like that - it was not accounted for in the programming. This goes back to the days when font size switching first became available - many programs didn't like the change or even crashed. So give Apple some time and it will be fixed. Remember, the vast majority of iTunes users are on the Windows platform. One more thing, the search box in the upper right of iTunes loses it's nice border when you click in the box - again - appears to be something font size related.

I've fixed the bug, in version 2.0.1 of the font-size editor. Same link as above.

The font size editor still doesn't solve the font issue for the device page in Itunes when your IDevice (for me an IPhone 4) is connected.

The issue is the DPI setting, which I have set to 125% in Win 7. For some reason it's not an issue in any other program that I use except ITunes, and even then it only seems to affect the Devices view.

Bummer 😟

Did you see "videogayme"'s message below, about the font scaling? Maybe that's the issue?

Yes Rob I did. Oddly enough, I don't recall an issue with the later versions of Itunes 9. Something regressed in ITunes 10...and only on the device page. The music, movies etc sections look totally normal, including the search bar.

Hi Robert,

Slightly off topic, but as someone else who is into scripting for iTunes would you mind confirming my observations over in this thread.

I have the same issue as the original poster and I've just updated to iTunes 10.0.1.22. I'm running on Windows 7, using the 64-bit version of iTunes 10. Fonts are too large on the summary screen when I connect my iPhone. Annoying but the app still works.

In Windows 7 goto "Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Adjust screen resolution > Make text and other items larger or smaller" and make sure size of text is set to "Smaller - 100%". If it is set to anything larger, iTunes 10 handles this in a clumsy manner of just truncating the text labels and other application GUI anomalies.
