Platform font size setting

[rchl]

Is there a way to configure font-size separately for Mac/Win? Currently I share same settings between both platforms and I have to constantly change font-size due to different screen dpi and resolutions. Size that is OK on Windows is tiny on Mac.

I would also like to know.

There might be a way to extend the features of the Camaleón plugin to do that. Right now it's just a theme/syntax switcher:

You can do this by specifying the font size in "Preferences (OSX).sublime-settings". The catch is that this file won't be picked up if it's in your User directory. You'll want something like this:

User Platform/Preferences (OSX).sublime-settings: specifies font_size
User Platform/Preferences (Windows).sublime-settings: specifies font_size
User/Preferences (OSX).sublime-settings: doesn't specify a font_size

Hi Jon,

I added the two files (see below) but neither seems to be having any effect. Restarted multiple times. The font settings only change if I edit User/Preferences.sublime-settings .

User Platform/Preferences (OSX).sublime-settings

Code: Select all

{
   "font_face": "inconsolata",
   "font_size": 17.0
}

User Platform/Preferences (Windows).sublime-settings

Code: Select all

{
   "font_face": "consolas",
   "font_size": 14.0
}

You need to ensure that you don't specify a font size in your regular user preferences, or it'll override the other two sources.

jps's suggestion doesn't really work for me either. (latest nightly, mac)

Has anyone managed to get this to work?

I've got both font_face and font_size set in the per-platform preference files and not in the user preferences; the font_size gets ignored in both cases and leaves me with text that is too small on OS X and text that is too large on Ubuntu.

Annoyingly, changing text size to Small in Ubuntu's accessibility preferences means a setting of 12pt now looks the same on both platforms in apps like Terminal — but Sublime Text seems to ignore this setting and continues displaying 12pt at a rather large size :(
