Tiny font on my visual studio code program

Question

_{Tuesday, March 26, 2019 3:31 PM}

For some reason, my vsc program fonts are tiny, almost too small to read. I'm taking about the menus and other program fonts used to manage and utilize the program. I am unable to change the size of the fonts. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program twice, but the fonts are always the same. Any ideas about how I can change this to make the program usable?

When you say Visual Studio Code program, do you mean Visual Studio Code itself, or an application you wrote using Visual Studio Code?

What is the DPI scaling on the monitor that you are running the application on? This is easily found in the display settings. This is important because Visual Studio Code marks itself as DPI aware, so if you do mean Visual Studio Code and something is going wrong with the scaling, then everything would end up looking too small.

By the way, for me at least, Visual Studio Code looks perfectly fine on Windows 10:

my system has a 125% DPI scaling on both monitors, so if it was failing to scale, then it would be noticeably smaller.

This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.
