Oversized Hebrew font in QSM
Similar to the issue I posted about with Targum resources, the Hebrew font is larger in QSM than what is found in Hebrew Bibles like LHB and BHS. What this means is that when you open QSM with an English translation in multiple resources view it just looks absurdly disproportionate.
Could this important resource be adjusted to match what we see with LHB and BHS? I would like to use Logos for Hebrew work, but this sort of graphical inconsistency makes it awkward. Seems like an easy fix to adjust the Hebrew font size to match LHB, but I don't know what it takes to do such things.
I've posted a picture of QSM below and LHB for comparison — both are set to 100% program scaling and the default font size setting:

I can't see how it can be, or what. I think they ought to look at the font sizes among all the hebrew/aramaic 'family':

BHQ.logos4As you move from the end of Gen to the beginning of Deu, the fonts calm down. I have my panel set on smallest.

Bumping this because the text is gigantic in the Qumran Sectarian Manuscripts resource in comparison to LHB and BHS and Lexham's Biblical DSSI by Ken Penner.

Just wondering if there has been any progress on this. It is still super awkward to use QSM due to the oversized Hebrew font.

Yes, please Hebrew font size that is not oversized.

Notice a properly sized Hebrew resource below compared to QSM on top:
(properly = proportionate to other HB and DSS resources in Logos)
Note: QSM is the only tagged version of the nonbiblical DSS in Logos.

Well, I count 9 reminders. This sounds pretty cricket-y. Are we sure FL still employs the requisite expertise? I learned a lot from them, years back. They liked talking shop.

Tbh, where Hebrew is concerned, too large is better than too small, especially when there is niqquudh included. My gripe is that Hebrew is treated fontwise as though it should correspond with lowercase letters in English (et al.) as opposed to uppercase. That is a drastic error of judgment. But, yeah, some resources have overly large text...at least those are legible.

Praise the Lord and thank you, Logos! It's fixed! QSM text is the same as LHB and other Hebrew resources! This makes my year!
