Hello all,

can someone suggest a way to increase the size of the fonts displayed on the on screen keyboard?
I'm using it to type russian on an italian keyboard but... the thing it's tiny in my mbp's screen!
In windows it's possible, I was hoping the same to be true under macos.
Anyone? It's tough to write love letters in russian without cyrillic! :-)

Thanks!

Lory

If that's still not big enough, install the Developer Tools. Then go to:

/Developer/Applications/Performance Tools/Quartz Debug.app

(menu bar) -> Tools -> Show User Interface Resolution

Slide the bar up a bit from 1.0, then close & reopen the Keyboard Viewer. Remember to set the slider back to 1.0 when you are done, or a number of other applications will look odd the next time they are launched.
