How to change font size in the help of Comsol?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am using Comsol Livelink for Matlab and I open the Comsol help from Matlab (using 'mphdoc' command).
The help browser that I open looks exactly like the help browser of Matlab and even give as 'reference' options the option to change Matlab settings.
My problem is that the font on this help browser is too small for me.
I tried whatever I can to change font size and manage to do it in all other parts of Matlab - including Matlab's own help browser. Alas, I didn't find a way to change font size in the Comsol help.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Alon

Hi,

I am quite new to this forum.
However, I did expect that someone from the Comsol team will be able to answer this technical question...

Anyone with an idea? I am really struggling with this help browser.

Thanks,
Alon

This is exactly the question I was looking for an answer to.

It looks like the font in the style sheets is 8 pt, which is pretty small for old weak eyes.

Hi Alon,
I don't use the mphdoc function since I don't have access to those documents from Matlab, however what I would do directly on Matlab is:

mphdoc arg1

to get the HTML documentation associated to the function arg1, then simply press CTRL +
See, if you keep pressed CTRL and repetitively press the + (plus) button font size should increase.

Hope it helps!
