Adjustment of font size

One of my favorite features in Anbernic Stock OS was “Switch_font_size.” To be completely honest, reading text on a 3.5-inch screen was painful for me unless I switched to BIG FONT. I’m experiencing the same struggle now with MuOS.
I would love for you to consider adding a customizable font size feature. Even if some users don’t need it right now, they absolutely will in the future—without a doubt. Please make MuOS a user-friendly OS for old-school gamers as well.

This is pretty much all controlled via the theme you’re using. I know the minuified theme builder allows you to pick font size and number of lines in each page. The dev is working on updating that to generate correct pixie outputs, but it’s not terribly difficult to get the banana output working on pixie. I wrote up some instructions here. It’s not perfect but it works in a pinch.

With the inclusion of high-dpi devices, such as the Trimui Brick, a global system scaling might be a good idea. I’m pretty sure this matter has come up before

On the flip side, I can see a lot of support issues arising from this kind of thing. “Help, scaling broke so-and-so” ad infinitum if it can’t be contained within its own bounds. Scaling in Linux by default is its own can of worms to deal with. I think binding it to theme-based parameters is a good medium. Maybe we could figure something out inside of that that makes it a little more accessible.
