Title
How can I change the font size for Spotlight? -
Description
I use Spotlight on a large monitor, but find the font size too small. -
Cause
The font size for Spotlight by default is set 8-point Tahoma, but on some screens this may not be large enough to be seen.

Resolution
There are two base fonts in Spotlight that all other fonts are derived from - one for horizontal text, and one for vertical text. The base fonts specify both the family and size of the font to use. By default, the base fonts are 8-point Tahoma.
In some places within Spotlight, the font displayed is scaled up from the base font by a fixed factor.
How can I change the base fonts?
By creating a Spotlight.ini file as follows:
[Fonts]
Base=MS PGothic,9
Vertical=@MS PGothic,9
The spotlight.ini file needs to be in the \Program Files\Quest Software\Quest Central\Spotlight\Console directory which is where the Spotlight.exe resides.
