Visually different Latin text in the interlinear?

When using the Latin-English interlinear, the Latin text is similar font as anything ales on the page

Is there a way for example to bold the Latin text, or add some line spacing above the Latin text?

    Hi Veli,

    There isn't a way to bold the Latin "manuscript" text in the interlinear, but below are a couple things that could help (if you haven't tried them already).

    1. Make sure that your resource text size is set to default or larger (see screenshot #1 below). This will make the manuscript text larger than the other interlinear lines (lemmas, etc.).

    2. Adjust the "Bible text only" settings in Visual Filters (see screenshot #2)

    I hope this helps. Sorry I can't give a more satisfying answer at the moment.

    Thanks a lot, Andrew! If it is not currently possible, I can copy a selection to Word and then do what I need for the individual lines. 

    And then I can also leave a moderate request: 1) possibility to bold the Latin text 2) possibility to enlarge the Latin line only, or even better, 3) to have my own font for the Latin line. Below a screenshot of Matthew 10:42 for one visual outcome, all lines a bit different just to show some possibilities:

    The ancient Romans knew how to write beautiful text, and a beautiful font would encourage many of us read more Latin [8-|]

    Hi Veli,

    Thanks for your suggestions on how the readability of interlinear texts could be improved. Your points are good ones, and I will bring them up in the conversation we are having about potential ways of improving the interlinear display in these kinds of resources.

    I support Veli's ideas. I don't use interlinears very much, in fair part due to their present visual appearance.
