Updating Chrome made tabs font tiny

[locutor]

After updating Google Chrome yesterday, my tabs and bookmarks switched to a tiny font. I haven't found a way to restore them to their previous size. Increasing Chrome's minimum font size had no effect. Anyone know how to do it (Windows 7)?

Try this:

1. Right click on the Google Chrome icon on your desktop
2. Choose Properties, then Compatibility
3. Make sure that Disable Display Scaling on high DPI settings is unchecked.

Thanks for the suggestion, crippler, but that box is indeed unchecked. I'm stumped.

Try going to chrome://settings/, advanced settings, then Web Content. Does changing any of those settings work?

Yes, the first thing I tried was increasing “minimum font size” there, but it had no effect on the tabs & bookmarks bars. That’s the only setting in this section that looked relevant; I don’t want to mess up my other fonts. They’re all set at 18 pt.

With something like Chrome that links to my Google account and automatically backs up everything important, once I get this far down a rabbit hole, it's not worth mucking about with it - I just nuke the installation and reinstall fresh. That's what i'd do here.

Just what I was thinking! Thanks; I'll probably do that.
