Font Size Preference Setting (Setup)

Sierra allows you to set the font for the menus or for record editing separately. Both are under Preferences, and both settings go with the machine, not the login. If you change these settings any user on that machine will see the new font. Editing preferences depends that you have this permission for your login.  If you do not have permission to set preferences, contact Marmot.
