utils.menufontsize
Alters the size of the font used in menus
Prototype
oldSize = utils.menufontsize (newSize)Description
For the benefit of players with large monitors, you can set the font size for MUSHclient menus, for example:
In any event, the function returns what the font size was previously. Note that this will probably affect all applications, not just MUSHclient.
You may want to remember the old font size, and restore the menu font size when MUSHclient loses the focus. On my system, the "normal" size was 11 points.
