Hello, would anyone know how to increase the font of the ‘type in the answer’ field’ ? When changing the font size of the front of the card, it only changes the size of the ‘play icon’, see attached image. Thank you for any help with this.

Styling type-in templates is described here: [Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/templates/fields?id=checking-your-answer)

I’m afraid it’s not currently possible to adjust the size of that field at the top. This may be resolved in the future when the type-in-the-answer functionality gets a revamp.
