How to Change Font Size in Windows 11 Handwriting Panel

This post explains the steps you can take to change the font size in the Handwriting Panel in Windows 11.

If you have a Windows tablet or portable device with a touchscreen, you can use the touch keyboard to enter text in a text field.

The touch keyboard feature also has a handwriting panel that you can write on with a pen or fingertip. This is typically available on tablet devices with a touchscreen and no attached keyboard.

When you use a pen or your fingertip on the handwriting panel, the text you entered will automatically be converted to Ink Free font type with medium size.

If the default medium size isn’t displaying correctly on your device, you can change it to either small or large, and the steps below show you how to do that.

Change the font size in the handwriting panel in Windows 11

As described above, when you use a pen or your fingertip in the handwriting panel, the text will automatically be converted to Ink Free with the default size of medium.

If the medium isn’t displaying correctly, you can change it to small or large; below is how to do that.

First, open the Windows Settings app.

You can do that by clicking on the Start menu and selecting Settings. Or press the keyboard shortcut (Windows key + I) to launch the Settings app.

When the Setting app opens, click the Bluetooth & devices button on the left.

Select the Pen & Windows Ink tile on the right to expand it.

On the Bluetooth & devices -> Pen & Windows Ink setting pane under Handwriting, select and expand the “Use your handwriting to enter text” tile.

Next, choose the font size to use with the handwriting panel. Your options are:

• Small
• Medium (default)
• Large

Close the Settings app when you are done.

Change the font size in the handwriting panel via the Windows Registry Editor.

Yet another way to change the font size in the handwriting pane is to use the Windows Registry Editor.

First, open the Windows Registry, and navigate to the folder key path below.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\TabletTip\EmbeddedInkControl

If you don’t see the EmbeddedInkControl folder key, right-click on the TabletTip key, then create the subkey (EmbeddedInkControl) folders.

Right-click the EmbeddedInkControl folder key’s right pane and select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Next, type a new key named HandwritingFontSize.

Double-click the new key item name (HandwritingFontSize) and make sure the Base option is Decimal, and then update the Value data:

• Small size. Type 0.
• Medium size. Type 1.
• Large size. Type 2.

Save your changes and restart your computer.

That should do it!
