How do I set a default font for the block diagram only?

I want to change the default font for the block diagram (labels AND controls) to be a bit larger. This is because our operators like larger fonts for the better readability.

I have used the LabVIEW options to set the application font to 18pt and then I checked the 'Panel default' checkbox and pressed ok.

However, when I restart LabVIEW and place a control on the panel, the label on the diagram also has the larger font.

My solution was to open the font options again and choose font style, pick 13pt again, check 'Diagram default' and then click ok here, and cancel in the dialog above.

When I restart LabVIEW new controls placed will correctly have the larger label and control font on the pan
el, and the smaller font as label.

However, when I load previously created VI's, their labels are increased in size on the block diagram, messing up the layout there and taking too much space.

Does anyone here know how to set the fonts properly, so that I have the larger font on the panel, and the smaller on the block diagram? It should both apply to previously created VI's, and newly created VI's.

I made a mistake - I meant to set the font for the Front Panel only, not the block diagram.

The Front Panel should have a larger font, the Block Diagram should have the default 13pt font.

Anyway, I will ask the proper question again. Sorry for the inconvenience...
