I wanted a different font and text size for Windows 10 Explorer.
I used control panel, display, "change only the text size", selected "icons" from the "Title bars" dropdown, set 10

pt bold, apply. This was fine. Then I created a .reg file
.................
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Black (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Black Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Bold Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Historic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Light (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Light Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semibold Italic (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semilight (TrueType)"=""
"Segoe UI Semilight Italic (TrueType)"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Segoe UI"="Consolas"
.............
and running it changed the font to Consolas, fine.
Now I want to change the font size. However, control panel, display, "change only the text size" no longer offers

a choice of text sizes, only 24 pt. There is no drop down for different text sizes. The actual text size is still

10 pt bold, and thankfully not changed to 24 pt. How can I change it to 11 pt ?
Thanks.
