Default Pro Tools Text/Font Size

Is it possible to adjust the text/font size in Pro Tools (For instance on the inserts, track names, sends, etc?) I'm really just looking for a way to make them BOLD so that they are easier to read at a distance on my new large monitor, since it is behind my console.

I am using OSX.

Thanks!

No, unfortunately.

Two options: run at a lower resolution, or selectively use OSX's CTRL+mousewheel function to zoom the entire screen.

maybe you can use the operating system's universal access feature to make any font rendered by the os to be bigger some how?

We use OS X Universal Access preference to make the mouse cursor bigger so it is easier to follow on the displays. Using the minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 will make the text easier to read

Would changing the Font Smoothing settings (in OSX preferences) have any effect?

Universal Access would IMO be your best friend, if the display is far away...
