This tutorial will show you how to change the font size used when writing in the handwriting panel or directly into a text field for your account in Windows 11.

The touch keyboard in Windows 11 includes a handwriting panel layout you can use to enter text with a pen or your finger.

After you enter text into the handwriting panel, the text automatically gets converted into the Ink Free font by default. You can change the font used to convert the text to any font you want.

The text will be converted into a medium font size by default, but you change the font size to be small, medium, or large if supported.
