Hi
May I also suggest installing and choosing the "IBM Plex Mono" font?
Somehow the editor becomes way more beautiful (at least for me).
Cheers
MA
PS I know it would be major... but any possibility of going past the Windows 7/XP look-n-feel on Windows?

Yes, I noticed a problem with the latest release shrinking the fonts as well. To fix:
Go into settings (in the LispWorks menu).
Select Environment
Select the Styles tab
Click “Override the system default font” if it isn’t set.
Click where it says “Click here to choose the font”
At the left side of the right half (the left half has a list of fonts, the right half is showing you your type options in the style you choose on the left) there is either a pull-down list of font sizes OR an empty box where you can type in a font size (and in the latter case you’ll have no idea that’s what that box is for! :-)
Pick a size you like, you can start with 16 or 18 to get something you can at least read and then make adjustments.
Close this window. “Click here to choose the font” should now be using your selected font and size.
Click OK at the bottom right.
You should be good to go!

I am a retiree who wants to keep my mind active, so I am beginning a long-standing desire to lean Lisp. I have downloaded LispWorks Personal on my macOS laptop.
But...the text I type is much too small to read comfortably. How do I increase the font to a comfortable size?
Thanks,Tom
