I would like to be able to set the size of various display elements independently. Text on the screen--especially soundings--is probably more important to me than icons. Is there a reason all text is not selectable by font and point size as in most Windows programs? Many fonts are selectable in the Options/User Interface menu but the text for soundings can't be set that way. Shouldn't text that only appears on vector charts be adjusted in Options/Charts/Vector Chart Display instead of Options/User Interface?

Soundings are not text. They are raster symbols defined by the S-52 presentation library.

I see. They look like text but now I understand. Thanks, Pavel.
