With the example that I posted? You're probably being limited by the font that you've selected. Some fonts don't scale beyond a certain point. Try a different font.
As I indicated, you can also use a picture indicator, though I think replacing the numeric indicator with a string indicator will probably be easier for you.

Set it to font size 36. Then hold Ctrl = until it grows as big as you want. Or use a property node to write a large font size to the NumText.FontSize property.

ctrl = does not work with increase the size
since my keyboard has no direct = sign i must put a shift to it to get a = sign
by doing so i get a help window
So ctrl shift = is help window ( meaby he is sensing i need help)

Isn't it next to your backspace key? What kind of odd keyboard are you using?
If you go to the dropdown for Fonts then size, the shortcut for Larger says Ctrl+= meaning control and equals together.
If you can't do it by using the keyboard, then I suggest using the property node method.

Well normal european keyboard thinkpad T42 P
and = is not next to back space

Hi RavensFan,
look here for German/Austrian/Swedish/Spanish (and a lot more) layouts...
But for me Ctrl-Shift-0 is still increasing font size

I can not see the problem. Did you try my solution?
The short cut for going directly to font dialog is Ctrl+0 (must be selected first). Then you can type in the number you want in the font size box
Else, my = is shift+0. So in order type in Ctrl+= I must type Ctrl+(shift+0). But as said before. Not all fonts are scalable as the TTF type fonts

Property node on what? I don't see any property nodes on the VI you uploaded. Which control are you trying to make large? The scale? If so, which part? The km/h indicator?
