Skype for desktop: how to change chat font style/size in version 8.x ?

Hi all,

Unlike in skype's previous versions, in version 8.x (for desktop) it is impossible to change font size & style in chat (instant messaging) via skype menus, this is very very sad.

Now fonts look very small and not clear, super disturbing!

Could someone tell me what is the registry path for font size & style (in instant messaging) so I do it manually via the registry?

Many thanks,

Ziv

I don't think you can!
Just zoom in and out and reset the entire UI...

Thanks Edwin,
What do you mean zoom in and out?
I could not find such option in my skype!
Please see a screenshot of how it looks on my end, i am using skype for desktop (i think its version 8.25) on windows 10
