Menu
Since upgrading from VS2017 to VS2019 I have noticed that the text in test detail summary windows is comically large making it hard to read test results without a great deal of scrolling. This persists in the latest 16.3.1 version. I assume (and hope) that there is an option I can use to control the font used there but I haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know what/where the option might be? Here's a screenshot.

Alternatively, you can press down and hold the Ctrl key and press either the + (plus) or – (minus) keys on the keyboard to increase and decrease the font. All browsers also support pressing the Ctrl key and 0 (zero) to reset the font back to the default font size.
On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. In the options list, choose Environment > Fonts and Colors. In Show settings for list, select Text Editor. Modify the Font and Size options to change the font and text size for the editor.
You just need to hover your mouse at the bottom of Test Explorer and drag it up. You can see Test Details summary below of your test regardless of Run or Debug mode.
By default, the environment font is tied to a system font that appears as 9 pt Segoe UI in current versions of Windows.
In Visual Studio go to
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts And Colors:
On the right side:
Show settings for : Text Editor
Display items: Test Summary - Default
Then you can change the font size to 8 (which works best for me)
Then change the Editor Zoom to 125%
I also think Microsoft should fix this problem, stop linking the font style for different windows or at at best, make it optional
125
I guess you mean the monospaced font used to render the message and stack trace. It appears to be linked to the 'text editor' font. You can customize it (Tools - Options - Environment - Fonts and Colors - Text Editor), but that will also affect the editor windows. You could compensate that by increasing the zoom level of the editor windows. Not sure if that is acceptable for you.
