That font should match dialog specs for the host system.

If you find it doesn't look like other dialogs on Win10, please file a 
bug report.

Yeah, I did wonder that, too.   On openstack (mainstack ) I set the font to 
Arial.  I will double check just in case I have contradicted that somewhere 
else, but I don’t think that is it.

Cheers,

I wonder what the default font for the stack is? I know new fields will 
"inherit" the font of the stack. Perhaps dialogs do too. When I look at one of 
my stacks, the stack font is, "System Font Regular". If the font for the stack 
was set to a font that only exists on the MacOS, Windows will attempt to 
substitute for a near match, which usually does not end well.

teeny tiny answer dialog text on Windows

[David V Glasgow via use-livecode]

Hello, folks.

Having returned to work on an old stack I have found that whereas standalone 
answer dialogs look fine on Mac, on Windows (10) the text (eg. “Do you really 
want to quit?”) is so small it is barely legible.  (Building on Mac 10.12 and 
10.13)

I set the font to Arial, so although I would expect some font difference, there 
won’t be  problem with missing font.  I also built standalones with LC 7.x and 
8.x, because I seem to remember that fonts changed in some way in LC8.  No 
obvious difference between them, and no improvement.

Before I resort to setting font size via HTML in script for each dialog in 
turn, any suggestions for a  global fix?

Thanks

Best Wishes,
