Default Font in base is tiny

Im having trouble with Libre office. One problem is the default font in Base. It is tiny. All my fields are arranged in the smallest possible form crowded into the top left corner of my form.

Any Ideas?

Another problem is the Form Controls icon. It doesn’t seem to appear. I can’t assign a table to my form. The list of catagories for my form is completely strange. I am hoping the form controls would help me with that.

Might be a screenshot will help a little bit here.
.
If you open a form it remembers the last zoom level of a Writer document and will open in this zoom level. Cursor is in the form? Press “Ctrl” and set zoom by the mouse wheel.
.
Font height will be set as a default by the system default. It is 8pt here for a small font. In my forms I mark all controls and set the font to 10pt and DejaVu_Sans. The default is too small. Only in tablecontrols the default seems to be 10pt…

Don’t know what you mean with

Form Controls icon

Screenshot will help.
