Hi Blaine, You can force the external GUI to adjust its output size beyond what the menus allow. Going too big, however, will occlude the menu buttons at the right side of the screen, so be careful. If you paste the following code into your ~/.pymolrc it will remap the font size upon pressing the F5 key:
python size = 10 def teach(): global size if size==20: size=10 elif size==10: size=20 s = _ext_gui.skin s.text.configure(font=(s.font, size)) cmd.set_key("F5", teach) python end Now, you can simple use "F5" to go from small text to big.
