I dont know of any setting to change the font for the Hint. (codetool/debugger hint).
On my version of windows, I can scroll it. I can enter the hint window with the mouse, scroll, select and copy to clipboard....
Please note: the hint closes, if
- the mouse leaves the window (once the mouse was over the window
- if the mouse move away from the window.
so when the hint opens, you must move the mouse in a straight line towards the window, or it will close.
It allows for a tiny amount of jitter. not sure how much that is on high resolution.
I dont know if that ability to enter the hint with the mouse is broken on newer versions of windows....

In any case, you can use the watch (it has a hidden panel for large content, such as structures, check the toolbar) and inspect window to see the info you are looking for.
