Hmmm. I'm guessing this is a "Retina"/"HiDPI" scaling issue. Can you try running that Had you previously run an older version of Octave.app on this same machine? Might be related to old settings left around. Try exiting Octave.app, deleting the |
Oh, and maybe a screenshot of the Octave.app window so I can see the mix of text sizes? |
Hmmmmm. That... should not happen. Java is bundled inside Octave.app. Something ain't right here. What version of macOS are you running? And do you know what model Mac you're using? |
MacOS 10.14.6, 2018 Mac Mini. I sometimes use a Benq GW 2280, sometimes a downscaled Boox Max3. The screenshot was on the Benq 2280. |
I tried reproducing this a couple more times, and couldn't. Don't really know what's going on here. It's been a couple years, and there's new Octave releases out, and I'm targeting those now, starting with the Octave 8.x series. There's a prerelease build up for 8.4; wanna give that a try and see if you still get this problem? https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/releases/tag/v8.4.0_alpha1 |
Description
I opened Octave.app
By default, some text is standard-sized, which I have trouble reading, and some is even smaller.

Environment and Diagnostics
Please run
system env

octave_app_diagnostic_dump

octave-gui
process, click the “gear” button in the upper left, and choose "Spindump".)The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
