Flightgear 2019 interface text too small. How change?

Hi, I just installed Flightgear 2019.1.1 on my new Lenovo Ideapad laptop with a 1920x1080 screen & it works fine, but the small text in the start interface & the FG menu is almost unreadable.

Is it possible to change it to something bigger?

this topic is several years old... the question was answered in another, newer, topic, though... it has to do with highDPI monitors... i don't recall the answer, though...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
