I am writing a small GUI application using GtkD3 Builder and Glade. On a HD monitor the default font size is too small. The adwaita theme is not great but I can live with it.

Is there any way to globally increase the font size in the GtkD?

I tried the settings.ini file, but that did not help with my GtkD3 app. On the other hand, it did increase the global font size of the Glade tool, just not my application. Is some how GtkD different from pure Gtk application?

Thanks in advance.

This is the forum for the DWT library. I suggest you try the "learn" forum instead.

Considering the amount of traffic in this forum wouldn't it be better to relabel it as a GUI Forum?

Yup, that's what I thought, that this forum is not exclusive for DWT anymore, but is available for all Gui libs.

Anyway I did repost my question in GtkD GH issues.

For most exposure I recommend the learn forum or, as you did, post to GitHub.

Do you running your GtkD app on Windows or Linux?

On Linux, font size may be controlled by gtk3 settings in /etc or by system fontconfig. On windows, you may just focus on settings.ini.

I just developed a GUI app using GTKD very recently, and it works greate, fontsize is also working great in the Chinese language.

Note also, the GtkD project has its own forum: <https://forum.gtkd.org/>.

I am using windows. I added a lot more info here including screenshots showing the issue, and code to reproduce the issue.
