Hello,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, Remote Utilities only uses the system font size, it doesn't have any own font size controls.
It should be noted that there are two similar (yet not same) Windows settings - make text bigger and make everything bigger. Here is a screenshot:
You should use the first option (slider) to increase text only. Since RU follows system settings this will increase the text size on controls in Viewer/Host dialogs.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip. It helped greatly, mainly for browser and few other apps like bitwarden, Eset Internet Security, and native windows apps.
Unfortunately it DOESN'T help for applications like RU viewer and host, as well as the majority other applications like sharex, flash renamer, malwarebytes, which remains unaltered small.
See attached screenshot comparing both Windows text size to 100% and 255%.

Hello,
Please, right click on the Viewer launch icon, select Properties -> Compatibility tab -> Change high DPI settings. Do you have any options selected in this window?

Thanks for this further tip. All the high dpi settings was encountered unchecked, so I tried all combination.
The only settings with some result is "High dpi scalling override" checked and perfomed by "system". However, it only expands "layout" in response to the 130% Make text bigger set, BUT not the text per se, which is disappointingly ineffective in addition making it overall unsharp. This is not the way to go.
With today's bigger screen as common it is expected that fonts are being also taken into account for obvious reason: humans with their limitation are still in front of screens.
That said, as a suggestion an interface lift would be very appreciated as an enhancement to be seen in future version update.
Thank you so far.
