I use the OSX zoom in/out command to (temporarily) make DP (actually everything) text larger. It's an accessibility command. If you find yourself zooming in a specific amount every time, set up Keyboard Maestro commands to toggle zoom in and back. A workaround but at least I can see the text better

Yeah, that's my workaround as well. Gets old.

I also use that, Frank. In fact, I use it in all apps, many times a day. It's a simple matter of holding the Control key while doing a scroll gesture on the trackpad. Or I can use a particular gesture that I programmed to enlarge to a certain degree and back. It's easier for me to use the Control key unless I'm not sitting close to the keyboard.

While it's not as ideal as changing font sizes, I guess, it's consistent and always there. It actually does a good job of both photos and text.
