Can someone explain how to change font sizes in AHK Studio? I have tried going to Settings > Theme > Default > Font Style but was not able to make changes.

Hmm, I'm not sure what / how the settings you indicate are supposed to do! Shame there's no way to know - I've screwed up theme settings before because I decided to try changing them and then couldn't see a way back
. Had to do a fresh install!
But Settings > Theme & then ctrl+click on each element of the theme (shown on the right hand pane) allows you to change font size. But I guess the downside of this is that you have to adjust each element separately
.
Hopefully someone better in the know can better advise.
HTHs(a little).

When I try to change the font settings, the program stops working. I have tried reinstalling it, but the problem persists. Is there a way to change the font size settings directly in a settings file in the program's directory? In what file are the settings stored?
I have tried changing all "size="10"" to "size="20"" in the "Themes.xml" file, but there were no changes in the font size.

I had problems like this (not font related though) with AHK Studio installed on my C:\Program file\... dir, but without appropriate permissions to write to that directory.
I've since moved AHK Studio into my D:\ dir, and this sort of problem went away. Not sure if this is affecting you though.

I've just been edditing font size and theme name from the AHK Studio\lib\Settings.xml file. Both these work fine for me. I edited this file with AHK Studio closed and the changes took effect when I ran AHK Studio.
HTHs.

In the "Settings.xml" file also, I have changed all "size="10"" to "size="20"", but the font size is still the same when I run the program.

The program is outside of the "Program Files" folder on my computer, because it is a portable version which I have downloaded from
