Tiny text in Fabric / Power BI Service Menus

Is there any way to make the menu text larger in the Power BI Service?  A recent release of Fabric / Power BI changed the font size to be tiny for all menu items which is probably great for those under 40 with perfect eyesight, but not so good for the rest of us.  Please provide a way to increase the font size on the Service menus.

Here is an example of the tiny text used by Power BI Service vs. normal web page text from this web page.  Big difference in size and readability.

Currently, Power BI Service doesn't offer native settings to adjust the font size for menu text. However, you can try a workaround to increase the font size in your browser, which should affect the menu text size as well. Here's how you can do it in some popular browsers:

### Google Chrome:
1. Open Chrome and go to the Power BI Service.
2. Click on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner to open the Chrome menu.
3. Go to "Settings."
4. In the Settings tab, scroll down and click on "Appearance" in the left sidebar.
5. Under the "Font size" section, adjust the font size using the slider.

### Mozilla Firefox:
1. Open Firefox and go to the Power BI Service.
2. Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner to open the Firefox menu.
3. Go to "Options."
4. In the General tab, scroll down to the "Language and Appearance" section.
5. Under "Fonts and Colors," click on the "Advanced..." button.
6. In the Fonts window, adjust the font size for "Default font" or "Minimum font size."

### Microsoft Edge:
1. Open Edge and go to the Power BI Service.
2. Click on the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner to open the Edge menu.
3. Go to "Settings."
4. In the Settings tab, scroll down and click on "Appearance" in the left sidebar.
5. Under the "Customize toolbar and favorites bar" section, adjust the font size using the "Font size" dropdown menu.

Adjusting the browser's font size settings should affect the font size of all text displayed in the browser, including the menu text in Power BI Service. However, keep in mind that this will also affect the font size of other websites you visit. If you only want to adjust the font size for Power BI Service, you may need to revert the changes after using Power BI.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos !!

Thanks for your help John but this does not really solve the issue.  It makes text too large for most web applications, but the Power BI Service home page still has tiny text listing out my workspaces and reports.  Seems like Microsoft made a mistake switching the fonts without providing any way to switch it back.  PLEASE FIX THIS MICROSOFT!!!
