Extremely small font after update

[Alshain]

I just downloaded the latest update packed full of new features I will never use, and the fonts have gotten very very small. I can barely read what I'm typing right now without putting my face against the screen and I can't find a setting anywhere to change it, how can I make steam usable again?

in your friend's list click on the settings gear just under the close X. It'll bring up your chat settings. Under general at the bottom are three big buttons which set your chat font size. it's starts out set to small. But you can switch it to default which is the size it used to be set to or large.

Well, that's one thing, but this isn't just chat, it;s all of steam. The games list, the menu text, even the rendered web pages are using a smaller font.

How is it 2018 and there isn't a font size setting in this stupid junk software! Has valve considered hiring a software ergonomics specialist?

(I have the opposite problem where steam is mis-detecting my widescreen resolution and scaling all HTML to luducrously too big.)

I suddenly have this problem too - my steam is now microfintessimally small. No idea when or why this happened, more annoyingly - no idea how to fix it. Also, when I click to make a video full screen, it just loads up the same size in the upper left corner of the screen but has black space on the rest of the screen - any ideas? THX
