How about clicking one of the edges or corners of the text edit box and dragging it till the box has the desired width?

Hans De Backer

Mmm, I notice that the new size is not remembered. We will improve that in one of the upcoming releases.

Meanwhile BricsCAD has been adapted so it stores and reuses the most recently used size of the Edit Text dialog.
So this is not what your question is about?

Is it about the size of the font that is used?
I think this text box uses the default system font, so you try increasing this font.

ı did change default system font, but edit box font nothing change.. see attachment.

@ Engin: have you tried changing your displays DPI settings? Note: Changing the DPI setting will influences the entire system.

I have created a small Lisp routine that may work for you. But the font options for DCL dialogs are limited.
There are just two options:
fixed_width_font = false; (same font as in the BricsCAD dialog)
fixed_width_font = true;
On my system the last option looks bigger which is why I have used it here.

I would write a replacement text edit function in Opendcl if I needed to do this.  opendcl.com  The textbox element in opendcl allows setting the point size of the text.

Have you tried the free text editor by Mansur Mamkin? It's called MtmdEdit and is available in the free tools section of the Bricscad website. You can display whatever font & size you want inside the text editor. I've found this editor to be invaluable for several dozen reasons. The native editor is comparatively like having only a bent screwdriver when you need a whole toolbox. Available for both 32 + 64-bit versions of Bricscad.
