how can i make the Aperature type size larger?

I use Aperature and find the type face very small and want to find a user setting to make it larger. Anybody know how to do this?

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Sorry but not much in the UI for Aperture is user adjustable. The type face size is one request that comes up all the time but unless there has been some major change in the last release it isn;t possible.


You can send word to Apple - Aperture - Feedback suggesting this. The more folk that do the higher the possibility that it might happen.

i am using the method Kirby suggested - change the resolution of the display to "scaled", otherwise it would be impossible for me to read anything in the Inspector panel.

But the severe drawback is, that this reduces the resolution of the images shown in the Viewer as well, and the photos will look less sharp. So you will have to toggle between screen resolutions, or connect a second display for the viewer with a better resolution setting.


Or set up the "zoom" controls in the "System preferences > Accessibility" Preferences. This will let you zoom in on parts of the screen.

😟 None of these work-arounds is satisfactory. Please use the feedback form that Frank Caggiano linked to and send feedback. Personally, I'd send this using the "Report a problem with Aperture" and not as a feature request. After all, this is a usuability problem, if you are not able to read any text, unless you scale down the image resolution as well.

+1. It's not right. I hesitated recommeding it because of "the severe drawback"
