Unfortunately I have to go back to the previous interface to
find that, so I will try and restore it but it may be a day or
two.

The new reactive version is pretty good. But, I struggle to use
it on my mobile without wearing my reading glasses :-)
I could massively increase the font on the WAP version and read
it easily.
(I generally like mobile apps that I can use without hunting for
my glasses first).

I see the problem (no pun intended). I'm between a rock and a
hard place with font sizes. I could increase the font size if
you're on a mobile phone, but then you get less information per
screen of mobile output.
You'll have seen I've increased the size of things like
"previous/next" or the page numbering or "go up/down" commands.
I'll see if I can find that WAP setting if that's going to solve
the problem.
