How to change font size for JMeter?

Question

I am using JMeter with 2.13 version.
I want to increase font size for JMeter.

I have tried following question jmeter test plan navigation pane font size. However for 2.13 version doesn't have src folder.

Here is a picture, how it looks now:

Answer 1

Since JMeter 3.2, use Menu:

Options > Zoom In

Options > Zoom Out

See this:

JMeter 3.0 (released 2 weeks ago) has improved regarding the icons and tables but does not yet support full HiDPI mode:

See this particular bug:

To set properties, see:

• https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/hints_and_tips.html#hidpi

Now for fonts, you can use Swing mechanism. To do that, add to jmeter.sh or jmeter.bat the JVM System property:

-Dswing.plaf.metal.controlFont=Dialog-20

And ensure you use the Cross Platform LAF

Answer 2

Using Jmeter 3.2

Options > Zoom In

Zoomed some panes but not others. However modifying apache-jmeter-3.2\bin\jmeter.properties works. Tested with Win 10.

#jmeter.hidpi.mode=false
# To enable pseudo-hidpi mode change to true
jmeter.hidpi.mode=true
# HiDPI scale factor
#jmeter.hidpi.scale.factor=1.0
# Suggested value for HiDPI
jmeter.hidpi.scale.factor=2.0
