PhpStorm markdown preview window - font way too small

I am using the latest PhpStorm 2016.3 on Windows. While editing a markdown file, I noticed there is a preview window (that I am fairly sure is new, but it has been awhile since I edited markdown). Unfortunately, it looks like this, where the right side preview is unreadable:

enter image description here

I have set up Settings->Editor->Colors and Fonts->Font to be Source Code Pro, size 28 long ago to handle my 4K monitor. And I found Settings->Editor->Colors and Fonts->Markdown where I can change the look of the left side, but not the right. So I have two questions:

OK, so I found out that JetBrains has a plugin named "Markdown Support", so it is important to make sure only that plugin is installed by checking Settings->Plugins.

I was using a third-party plugin before and I believe it was turned off automatically during upgrade. When I tried to turn it back on, and restarted PhpStorm, a prompt appeared indicating the two plugins were incompatible and I had to choose one, so I chose the JetBrains plugin.

Then, Settings->Language & Frameworks->Markdown->Preview, change the Preview browser field to JavaFX WebView. And the preview pane is back to the land of readable fonts.
