Launch a Command window ( Run -> cmd -> Enter)Ģ. As for the Command window, actually changing the Defaults will work. Everytime you launch the Git Bash from now on, the font size will be whatever you set it to be. Windows will say you need to provide Administrative privileges to make that change. Locate the Git Bash shortcut in C:\Program Files (x86)\GitĦ. In order to get it to work, you have to:Ģ. But you will realize that Windows just will not preserve the changes if you do it that way. And even if you manage to change what appear to be the defaults, or change the font size for the current window, the next time you launch the program (in the case of Git Bash), the font size will look terrible again, like this:Īs I said, you might’ve tried to right click on the title bar and change the font size using the Defaults or Properties menu option. If you use the Command window, or the Git bash window, the font size looks terrible as well. Then, titles will look way better, like this: Select “ Title bars” from the dropdown, and change the font size to 10 or whatever you feel comfortable with. To change the size, just go to the Display panel of Windows (Right click on Desktop, Personalize, select Display on the left side panel), and on the lower side of the panel you will see the “ Custom Sizing Options“. The thing is if you’re using the default resolution of 2880 x 1800, the font size of each window will look illegible. Uhm, the screenshot looks huge on regular resolution.

However, I haven’t seen that any of those sites suggest to fix the default font size for the title of each window, which is so small that just shows as 3 or 4 dashes. Pretty much every website that has reviewed Windows 8 in the MacBookPro with Retina Display already suggests changing the scaling of the fonts to custom, 200%, and that is the sweet spot for that. The font size in a Console or Git Bash window. Apple did a very decent job on the default way that Windows 8 looks when installed in a BootCamp partition, however, there are still a few quirks that need to be fixed, like:Ģ.
