Hello  
Having a hard time changing Anaconda.Navigator font size on Windows 11  
So far I opened the file anaconda-navigator.ini from preferences menu. Then, I change the line enable\_high\_dpi\_scaling = False which was originally True. Finally, I included the line set qt\_scale\_factor = 2. Obviously it did not work because I do not have any idea of what I am doing.  
I would deeply appreciate any input on this issue.  
By the way I installed Anaconda-Navigator 2.3.2  
Thankyou so much for your help

To all:

I am using Anaconda3 in Ubuntu in a WSL2 environment on a Windows 11 box.

After installing QT6, by adding the following lines to my .bashrc file, I was able to at least get some apps to work, and Anaconda-Navigator, to change the font size. The only setting that seems to work for me is “xcb”. I still get the can’t find Wayland message. I hope this helps.

Ron

export QT\_FONT\_DPI=150  
export QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM\_PLUGIN\_PATH=$HOME/anaconda3/lib/qt6/plugins/platforms  
export QT\_QPA\_PLATFORM=xcb

$HOME/anaconda3/lib/qt6/plugins/platforms contains the following files:  
libqlinuxfb.so libqminimal.so libqoffscreen.so libqvnc.so libqxcb.so

yes  
to figure this out the problem of high DPI display. This can be done by unclicking the Enabling High DPI display Scaling in preference section. In order to do this first you need to turnoff automatically hide the taskbar (right click on task bar\>click on task bar behaviours\>turn off it) then you will be able to see (by scrolling) an option of apply and make the required changes. And restart the session. And you are good to go.
