Enterprise Architect all diagram fonts changed

Question

Hi this morning I logged in our architecture repository in Sparx Enterprise Architect and all diagrams that I open have a large font which corrupts the diagram layouts. This is a massive damage to our repository as our documentation is generated from the repository. I assume there was a central setting changed by someone with admin priviledge, such as the Tools->Options->Diagram->Appearance->"Configure Default Element Fonts".

My questions are specifically:

a) is this a good assumption? [Edit 21.9.17: resetting defaults for the User Font works right after reset. BUT, on the next day when the usere restarts his client, the Fonts are messed up again, so basically this is not a good assumption.]

b) what is the default font&size that I should set back: I have a backup of our existing system, but I can't see to current font setting. [Edit 21.9.17: thanks for the answers, the correct font is Arial 8 in our case].

[I had to edit, as I am not so sure of my previous statement anymore, I believe I had some comparison issues with zoom-levels of my diagrams].

What I am missing is this Dialog in our installation, this is mentioned in all the Sparx Docs, but I cannot find it. We can only set User Font on our system (the upper Frame of the Dialog is missing, same as in Thomas Kilian answer).

Answer 1

To amend OP's answer: The font in the project settings is stored in the table usys_system where Property is either FontName or FontSize and Value containing the setting. For defaults these keys are simply not present.

Original answer

The diagram font is stored in the registry under

\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS\FONTNAME
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sparx Systems\EA400\EA\OPTIONS\FONTSIZE

The default for 12.1 is Arial 8. There's an option to reset the font in this dialog:

Answer 2

Ok, well after speaking with sparx-support the setting I was looking for seems to be in the Project|Settings|Project Options > General. I believe this will solve our problem since there was a wrong fontsize (10) configured there and clearing the setting fixed the issue for two users I am in contact with.
