Matlab upscaling in linux

I have a problem with the high resolution of my laptop when I use Matlab. Everything is too small. I reached to enlarge the size of text and icons bar using this two commands:

s = settings;s.matlab.desktop.DisplayScaleFactor
s.matlab.desktop.DisplayScaleFactor.PersonalValue = 1.5

But the problems are not finished yet infact when, for example, I create a plot everything in still very small and the same thing is for the documentation window (also the cursor is smaller than how it appears in other programs). What can I do to solve all the problem of upscaling in Matlab? Below I attach two images to make you understand better.

This is the first window that appares when I open Matlab and as you can see everything is normal.

This is what Matlab shows when I open a plot or documentation. If you compare the size of texts with the size of the text of the command window you can understand that it is very difficoult to read, especially when you consider that mine is a 14" display.

(please sorry for my bad english)

Hi Alessio,

As per my undertanding you are trying to adjust font size in Help and Web browsers. In MATLAB window, go to Preferences in Environment section in Home Tab. A dialog box will appear, go to Fonts section and there you will get options to alter the font size in Command window, Command History, Editor, Current Folder, Workspace, Variables, Function Browser, Help and Web browsers font. You can also set Custom fonts for any desktop tool by clicking on "Custom Fonts" preferences.

Hope this helps!

This answer does not solve the issue, I'm currently having this exact same problem on R2024b, and changing the DisplayScaleFactor does not seem to affect plots. There are no options under "Fonts" to change this.

Same issue - can't read half of the UI. I can zoom in the editor but nowhere else. Changing the font can make the command window readable, but can't fix the file browser. This is a patchwork solution which needs redoing / undoing when I change monitor resolutions.
