I must have hit some keys accidentally, and now my OpenSCAD looks like this:
It is basically useless. Where is the font size hidden, please?
Exploring is very difficult at the moment.
Would it make sense to not allow font sizes over some limit?

I found the <ctrl>-- (control minus) for the editor font, but the menu font, console font, and error log font are still wrong. Are these things stored in a text file that I can edit?

Thanks, but no. The thing is so horribly broken it is very difficult to
see what is going on at all. I cannot find separate fonts for the
various functions, but they do appear in different sizes.

I must have hit some keys accidentally, and now my OpenSCAD looks like this:
Try
Ctrl + Fn + mouse wheel.
There's only a couple of configurable font items, and I think they are
all in Preferences.
You don't say what system you're on. On Windows the preferences are in
the Registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenSCAD. I don't know
about other platforms.
Overlapping like that means that something didn't properly handle the
font metrics. It's unquestionably a bug. (Whether it's a bug in
OpenSCAD or elsewhere, don't know.)
And no, pretty much there should not be any limits on font size, and
especially not this small. Vision-impaired people need fonts that are
by normal-vision standards huge. (Some years back when my wife was
having eye problems, she was getting about one sentence per page on her
Kindle.) At 72 point - about ¾" capitals - I get about 60 characters
across and 17 lines tall, which seems usable. (That's on a 43" 4K TV
used as a monitor, ~$200 from Costco.)
There are two font-size controls - the one in the preferences, and the
increase/decrease with the menu and Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus. The
preferences one persists across application restert; the menu/Ctrl one
does not.
You might also look at system-wide font-size settings. OpenSCAD is
known to interact poorly with those.
VERY helpful, but the menu (upper left corner), viewport (lower left
corner), version (lower right corner) remain too large. The titles
"Editor", "Console", and "Error-Log" may also be larger.

Thank you. Both the Editor and Preferences show reasonable font sizes (8 and 12) but the program remains useless. A re-start fixed things, but this probably needs to be a bug.

What system are you on?
My guess is that this ties to system-wide font-size preferences.
OpenSCAD is spotty in handling those - some things change immediately,
others change only on restart, and I think some don't change at all.
And quite possibly the metrics used for layout don't align with the size
of the glyphs.
Everything was working perfectly for months and months. I guess I did a
Ctrl-mouse-wheel without knowing it, or a Ctrl-Plus. Then all hell
broke loose. Nothing wrong with my fonts that I know of.
Windows 2024.01.14. Happy to upgrade if you recommend.
