How to change Excel Tabs Fonts in Windows 11
Google search only gives directions in Windows 10 which is not applicable to windows 11.

It might be possible to change the font size but it would affect most other Windows applications, so it's not a good idea to do that. As far as I know it is not possible to select a different font.
HansVogelaar Thanks for your reply. In Windows 10 it allowed you to change the scroll bar font size that I was led to believe would only affect Excel tabs, but I cannot find that option in Windows 11?
Changing the scroll bar size would affect many applications.
The relevant entries are still present in the Windows registry, in the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
ScrollHeight and ScrollWidth are always negative, and the number after the minus sign is the size in twips, where 1 inch = 1440 twips. The default value is -255. You could change this to -400 for example. You'll probably have to restart Windows.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself.
