Turbotax desktop font size is too small

I have a Mac where I've set the fonts in its settings to be large. Turbotax unfortunately still displays a font that is too tiny to really read. I saw the inquiry that tells one to go to the Settings -> Display to change the resolution and make the fonts bigger. I've done that. And, it works for all applications aside from Turbotax.

 

How do I make the Turbotax font size readable?

Any info would be appreciated.

Turbotax desktop font size is too small

Another expert recommended the following to increase font/text size:

 

How to Increase the Text Size on Your Mac

  1. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner.
  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. Select Displays.
  4. Click Scaled.
  5. Select a lower resolution. If you see icons with different sized previews of text, select the icon that says Larger Text and click OK.

Another description of this fix, adjusting the resolution on your screen, appears on this Apple Support page:

 

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Select the display you want to adjust, then select the resolution you want to use. You may be able to turn on “Show all resolutions” to see additional resolutions for the display.

 

Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some app windows may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.

 

In the alternative, you could hook up a separate monitor to your Mac.

 

Another font issue reported by a Mac user in this Apple support forum found that a problem with printing was due to a font issue. 

 

An Intuit rep on the QB forum recommended this fix:

 

To print..., you must change... to Airy New. Here's how to change custom form styles (in Acrobat):

 

  1. Go to Settings and then select Custom form styles.
  2. Select New style.
  3. Click the edit dropdown.
  4. Choose the Change up the template.
  5. Choose Airy New. 
  6. Hit Done.
