Hi Uwe,

This sounds familiar - at our recent workshop I have observed several 
participants struggling with a very tiny letters on high-res screens, and 
prompted by that, demonstrated how one could adjust the font and also the 
colour once and for all subsequent sessions. I think, that if it's not possible 
to built-in into the installation, then indeed, at least adding some text to 
installation instructions or instructor notes would be useful.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Best wishes
Alex
