Hi Peter, The scale bar is implemented as atoms/bonds and the text is essentially an atom label. Atom label size (all labels at once) can be set in the Preferences (open from Favorites menu), category: Labels. http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/preferences.html#Labels
This is mentioned in the Scale Bar “limitations” section at the bottom of the page but is easy to miss… http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/scalebar/scalebar.html
For more control over label size independent of any atom labels, you could make the label blank in in the Scale Bar tool and instead add it as a 2D Label (menu: Tools… Utilities… 2D Label). 2D labels may also include symbols such as the Angstrom symbol. http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/2dlabels/2dlabels.html
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco
