• How to Change the Font Size in Quickbooks

  Filed under Usabilty

  For those of you frustrated with Inuit QuickBooks telling you that you need to have 800 x 600 setting on your monitors to use their products — *rolls eyes*, Charlie at ccrsoftware.info has found an easy way to make the fonts larger for the QuickBooks software program. If I could meet this Charlie person, I’d probably give him/ her a big kiss. Or least buy him/ her a beer at the local bar.

  I find it sad, actually, that Quickbooks doesn’t just have a button for people to click to make the font size larger…it says a lot about Inuit that they don’t give a damn about accessibility for the sight impaired. And for all the tiny lines of text that an accountant has to read on a daily basis, you’d THINK they’d be way ahead on this issue.

  Anyway, “Relief for Tired QuickBooks Eyes” tells you exactly how to enlarge the font to size 12 Arial” on the QuickBooks program. One must edit the quickbooks.ini file (QBW.ini) but Charlie has pictures and walks you right through it. I’m sure if you want to enlarge it to 14 or 16, you just change the number…

   Thank you, Heather. I’m a guy but my wife not let me accept a kiss – and right now I don’t drink beer. Chocolate always works for me…

   Hey Charlie,
   Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the web. I like chocolate too, so if we ever meet in real life, you can bet I’ll bring chocolate!

   Thanks again,
   Heather

   Thanks, Charlie! I just followed your instructions and edited the QBW.INI file for my husband. He is running the 2011 version, and the instructions are still good. His Quickbooks Tired Eyes thank you!!
