Customize font size in Trados Studio

Sometimes the font in Trados Studio documents appears to be too small and inconvenient to work with. Like this:

The font in Trados Studio can be increased. Unfortunately, it must be done in a non-trivial way.

Press File > Options > on the left panel and choose Font Adaptation.
