I have prepared a large all relatives family tree diagram – it uses the maximum allowed length for a pdf file (approx 129 inches). Although the font size is 9pt I have had to scale down the diagram to 50% to fit within the desired length and consequently the size of the lettering is small. To make the direct ancestor line clearer I have put in two extra ancestor (maternal and paternal) trees on the diagram and would like to have them in a larger font for increased legibility. But I cannot see a way to do it. Maybe it is not possible. I marked the root person on the all relatives tree in a distinctive pink colour (it was a girl!) and found, to my surprise, that using the same root person in the ancestor trees did not give the same coloured box – it was the cream of a descendant. And although I was able to change the colour to the same pink as on the all relatives tree by using a marked box I am not sure why this happens. According to the Diagram Options Boxes for both Ancestor and for All Relative diagrams the colour of the root person is shown as pink. Grateful for any views/help. Joan

The settings for added trees are shared with the original tree so you won't be able to use a different font. As far as I can see only the root box on the main diagram is coloured based on the root setting, so you will need to colour the box using a flag or expression, to get the duplcate boxes coloured as well. If you really need the other trees on the same diagram you could save them to picture files (png perhaps) and add them back in as pictures.
