MT4 Font size

 
Does any one know if you can change the font size in the MT4 or MT5 platforms? I am talking about the price numbers on the right hand side of the platforms charts and also the Date/Time numbers on the bottom of the charts. WOuld love to know how if this is possible. Thanks

Hi, did you found the solution? I am looking for the same ... thanks
 
It's not doable.

That would be cool if it were.  I have some days where it is hard to focus, and that would help quite a bit.
 

I have ported a piece of code from MQL4 to MQL5, which takes screenshot of a chart, the port is because the following code doesn't work correctly in MT4 and the vertical scale is not what is expected, but works fine in MT5.

double min=1.0026, max=1.1010;
long chart_id=0;

if(ChartSetInteger(chart_id,CHART_SCALEFIX_11,0,false) && ChartSetInteger(chart_id,CHART_SCALEFIX,0,true))
{
   double vertical_margin=(max-min)*0.1;

   if(!ChartSetDouble(chart_id,CHART_FIXED_MAX,max+vertical_margin))
      return(false);

   if(!ChartSetDouble(chart_id,CHART_FIXED_MIN,min-vertical_margin))
      return(false);
}

But MT5 chart font, the price at left and time in bottom, are bigger and fixed-length, probably "Courier New".

Does someone know if it is possible to change the font and its size since the last reply to this topic?

Your code doesn't take a screenshot.

Not sure what font exactly you are referring.

Not possible.

Yes, the screenshot is done after preparing the chart, it is not included.

I refer to the font of the chart axis and comment.
