      Hello Marc-Shepard,

      this is just a shot in the dark, I assume that there might be a font problem on your machine.
      To check if this is the case open a new tab and write some temporary text, then goto

      Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles

      choose

      font name: Tahoma
      font size: 8
      enable global font
      enable global fontsize

      Do you see the written text properly?
      If not, check the font setting on your pc.
      Control panel->fonts
      Maybe a reset font is necessary.
      If this is ok, did you update your graphics card driver recently?
      Setup changes like multi monitor?

      Cheers
      Claudia

        Dear Claudia,

        I have this problem as well. When you say “Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles” you left out something i think. What Style selection [Default style or Global Override]?

        Thanks in advance.

        Love and peace,

        Joe

          Hello Joe,

          you are correct,

          Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global override
          Select theme: Default

          after enabling global font and fontsize you should see changes immediately.
          Press cancel to get back to your previous settings.

          Cheers
          Claudia

            If, in NPP, Settings->Preferences->General->“Tab Bar”-> “reduce” is checked you can uncheck it and the names in the tabs will get bigger.

                Did this ever get resolved? Before coming here I had already tried all of the things above (made sure tabs weren’t “reduced”, as well as altered the font size in Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global override), as well as uninstalling and reinstalling twice (one without deleting my config settings, then once deleting my config settings), and none of them fixed my issue.

                  what do you mean by

                  as well as altered the font size in Settings->Style Configurator->Global Styles->Global override

                  ?

                  my original answer in this thread was to identify if the font, previously used for tabbars, has been corrupted. The easiest way, I thought, was to open a new document
                  type some text and then go to Style Configurator… and change the settings as described.
                  The changes should be seen immediately in the document area, NOT in the tabbar.
                  If the document didn’t show correct results we have identified that the font has been corrupted and must be fixed.

                  Cheers

                    the solution is:

                    • Display Settings -> advanced Display Settings -> advanced Settings for Text and other Elements -> User defined Skale Setting -> Change to 125%
                      after this, the Windows User logs out after logging in again the bug is fixed.
                      You can now change the Skaling back to normal

                    Hope that helps, it works for me. The Settings are translated from german windows, so maybe the acutal settings are slightly differnt.

                        Ronny Fritsch’s suggestion worked for me as well. The font size for my tabs in the editor were too large. Changing the scale settings from 100% to 125% even though the text was already too large fixed it. Switched back to 100% again right after and all is well. Thanks.
