You can set the limits for the temperature probe. I set mine up so that if the temperature of the probe reads >30 then my fan turns on.

My setting are shown below

Under event it shows Sys->Advanced->On D1W Temperature "Gt or Er"
It was set to the probe id and the temperature setting was 30. Under action it shows GPO->Advanced->Set PWM
Mine was GPO 1 and I set the fan to 100%.

As for the font size, try what I have on my display.

Probe Temp:[%fon23%[#$AdvDalVal004]%] C
[%fon24% [#$AdvDalVal004]%]

The steps on doing this is below.

1) Highlight [#$AdvDalVal004] then right click on it.
2) Select your top line
3) Select format then font with spacing 2x2 then top line
4) Copy [#$AdvDalVal004] to the second line
5) Select your bottom line
6) Select format then font with spacing 2x2 then bottom line
7) Space your code around until it aligns with the top line properly
