Address bar font in Chromium is tiny. Can I make it bigger?

Post by James_Smith »

The title says it all: I want to be able to see the address bar fonts better. I figured out how to do it in Firefox but no luck so far with Chromium.

AFAIK you can't directly configure that. Check your font settings if you have changed your system fonts to something other. Chromium can't handle some fonts well and will show text small. If you're on a HiDPI display increase the text size in fonts or toggle HiDPI in display settings. How/what/where depends on your Linux Mint version and desktop enviroment. For better answers include such information with questions.

Thank you. Yes, I am on a HiDPI display. I think you are right and that it cannot be changed. I will play around with the font settings and get it to where it's easy on my old eyes.
