I opened my model this morning and it appears the model wide font size on all the blocks has increased significantly. Is there somewhere in the model that I can address the entire models font size for all the blocks?
You probably mean the font size showing during design-time, i.e. in the AnyLogic development environment, right?
This is driven by your system resolution and font settings, change those and restart your machine.
The runtime model fontsizes are defined by the font objects and your browser zoom settings, so maybe you changed those...

After a lot of research I finally realized that my application is looking funny because the fonts specified in Qt Creator are in points and not in pixels, and my laptop is running at 125% scale.
Is there a way in which I can change Qt Creator behaviour so it uses pixels instead of points for font sizes? So I don't have to manually edit the .ui files to change "pt" for "px". I'm using PyQt5.
I'm new to Xamarin and I'm actually developing an Android App. I've tried to run the app on different Android phones, but the fontSize appears either too small or large. Programmatically, how can I scale the FontSize of texts so that it can be adjust according to the device's screen?
Firstly, make sure you are using sizes in dp not px (or in, mm etc.) as these will factor in the screen density.
If you still have an issue, look at Screens support in the Android Docs, especially Using configuration qualifiers. Examples can be found here.
Basically you would need to provide a different resource file for each screen size. You should have a file something like res/values/dimens.xml where you store sizes for all your components. Make sure your font sizes are declared and referenced from here. You can then create a series of folders/files for the different screen sizes
res/values/dimens.xml
res/values-sw320dp/dimens.xml
res/values-sw720dp/dimens.xml
res/values-sw1024dp/dimens.xml
where each of these folders define the smallest width screen that that file will be used for.
We have a Delphi 7 program running on Windows 7 Professional SP1, developed approximately 10 years ago. On the current system, it became unusable as some form elements have incorrect size so the text they contain doesn't fit there or the graph overflows the bottom of the window:
Picture 1: Table rows have incorrect size (or the text is bigger than it should be)
Picture 2: There is a graph in the window but the bottom part of the graph isn't visible. And there are no scrollbars...
We have no source code nor we do we have contact with the people who developed the software. We think the software was built in Delphi 7 because it uses several xxxx70.bpl libraries.
We tried to change resolution of the screen and change compatibility mode used to run the program with no luck.
Is there anything we can try?
Your program is not DPI aware, and you are running with font scaling settings that mean the application is asked to scale. The application font is scaled automatically but your Delphi application does not adapt.
I can see some options for you:
Run your machine with 100% font scaling.
Run your machine with >125% font scaling. Then DPI virtualization will kick in which should fix the issue. Although the app may appear fuzzy as it will suffer aliasing when scaled.
Try to find a compat setting that forces DPI virtualization. Don't know if such a thing exists.
Edit the .dfm resources in the executable to set the Scaled property to true. This would require a resource editor that understands Delphi. For instance XN resource editor. I've no idea whether or not this will work. If it does work, each form will re-scale themselves according to the font scaling.
Update
Forcing DPI virtualization won't help, on second thoughts. The system will tell your app that the font scaling is 125% and scale from there. But your app won't even handle 125% scaling correctly it seems. So you have little option other than to disable all font scaling or perhaps try with the Scaled property.
I would like to know how people have reliably (from a system set dynamic text size POV) worked with smaller size fonts on the apple watch, with normal text and timer elements.
The former can have their text size assigned in their attributed text, however the preferred fonts (or descriptors) used to create the new smaller font don't seem to update their size with respect to the watch's dynamic text size setting.
The latter can't have their text size assigned directly though using their minimum text scale and resizing them in the storyboard you can shrink them to a given size ok. The problem from a dynamic text size POV is that these timers DO update their size from the dynamic text size setting but if you've used the storyboard scale and minScale route to resize them then you can run into trouble when larger text size is selected by the user and no longer fits in the smaller size frame so is truncated as ...
Essentially dynamic text size on the watch doesn't even seem to be properly exposed in any of the API so you can't even adapt UI element sizes in code depending on what the current system dynamic text size is set to.

How do I match the font pixel size given to me by my designer in PhotoShop to the correct font size in Xcode Interface builder.
For example, my designer is using Helvetica Neueu Regular 32px Font in his design.
I've used a few points to pixel translation sites, but it doesn't seem exact.
I have attempted to follow the answer from this question, but to no avail:

You will never have perfect results when visually comparing a Photoshop comp to a real program. In fact, it's not un-common for a text layout to be different between different computers because version and operating system differences (as well as monitor layouts) cause the text to reflow every time it's edited.
Unless things are very much different in other versions of Photoshop, your designer hasn't specified 32px because Photoshop doesn't lay text out in pixels - it works in points/picas. The exact text rendering is also dependent on the document's resolution (which is different between print and screen).
The best you can do is get the text to look roughly proportional to the designer's intent. In modern iOS, most apps will use the user's customized font settings anyway.
