Readable text

[Djones9976]

Thank you very much.  This problem with TexShop has been driving me crazy for 3 years.  I tried your suggestion and it works.   Now I can read what I am typing without having to guess.

Oh you mean the letters in the _source_ that was not at all clear in
your message: both Phil and my answers assumed you meant reading the
typeset output on screen in a pdf reader.

I don't have that editor but the question has been asked before and
has answers eg here

The *.pdf file it produces is allright but the letters are so small on the *.tex file that I can hardly see them.  Maybe the problem is in TexShop or the iMAC but I cannot find any way to increase the size of the letters.
