To change the font size, a sample J script macro as attached can be used. It will change the size of font in the contour legend, the ruler and the global coordinate system. There isn&#8217;t the control for video output resolution.  For changing the resolution, you would have to change the resolution for your whole screen using the monitor control for your operating system.
