Not the place for rumors....and definitely not the place for known-false rumors.

I actually run HD6 on both of my machines, a Windows 11 laptop and a MacBook Pro. I never worried about font size on the Mac, since I can read everything fine with the defaults, but it occurred to me this morning that I didn't know if creating a shortcut on the Mac was even possible. It is, so I thought I would share the process in case it is helpful to anyone else.

Press ⌘-{SPACE} to bring up the Spotlight search, find Shortcuts.app, and launch it.
Click Shortcuts->Settings in the Menu bar, select the Advanced tab, check "Allow Running Scripts," then close Settings.
Click the + icon at the top center of the Shortcuts app window to create a new shortcut.
At the top of the new window, type a name for the shortcut, such as "HERO Designer."
In the search box at the top left of the window, type "Run Shell Script," then select it from the list of matches.
Replace the 
echo "Hello World" with
cd ~/HERODesigner java -jar HD6.jar 18 replacing the "~/HERODesigner" with the path to the folder where Hero Designer is stored and the "18" with the desired font size.
The default choices should be fine for the remainder of the options. Close the new shortcut window.
If you wish, you can right click the new shortcut in the main Shortcuts window and change its icon and/or add the shortcut to the dock.
To run the shortcut, click on it in the dock or right click it in the Shortcuts.app and choose Run.

Just like above, it the shortcut doesn't work, the most likely causes are a broken JRE installation or an incorrect folder path.

My suggestion would be to create a new shortcut on the Desktop by right-clicking and then choosing New->Shortcut. It will ask which item you'd like to create a shortcut for. Hit browse, navigate to the folder where Hero Designer is located,  select the hd6.jar file, then click next. On the next screen, name it Hero Designer or some equivalent, then click Finish.

Next, right-click the shortcut and select properties. You will see a box like the one in the attached image. Change the Target line to read:
javaw.exe -jar HD6.jar 18 Do not change the Start In line.  Change the 18 to the font size you desire and select OK. Windows 11 should find your Java installation, add the correct path, and produce a usable shortcut. The most likely reasons for the shortcut not working properly are not having Java installed correctly and having the Start In line pointing to a location that does not contain the jar file.

Thanks for that check.
 
A note that likely won’t help OP: you can adjust the font size in HD, you just need to do it at the command line (since Windows is a bit of a pain with passing along font scaling info to Java).  
 
java -jar HD6.jar [font size]
 
e.g.  “java -jar HD6.jar 18” will set an 18 pt font size throughout

Apart from delicious, an Eastern European filled dumpling. Typically savory, though not always.

We had to say goodbye to our cat tonight.  We're all pretty wrecked.

Details are always helpful.
 
Have you read through the instructions on the download page? What happens when you double-click on HD6.jar?

Since I just finished the test fitting...minor adjustments needed to the upper ab plate and the ammo chain is not in the pic due to a slight issue with failed glue on the mount.

The blaster cannon will not be making a public appearance (at the specific request of the local police)...for the best -- I built it for strength, so it's not terribly light...and extremely cumbersome.

Cyberwarfare against Israel has started. Russian-backed hacker group Killnet is claiming responsibility and making threats of more attacks. A WSJ article (paywalled) reports that US intelligence say there haven't been any serious attacks so far, just DDOS and defacing attacks against Israeli government websites. I'm not linking anything. because it doesn't appear anyone really knows anything yet. No point in posting any rush to be first articles.

In a word: yes.
