How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

In an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the size of the Mailbox font used in the left sidebar to view more content in the column, but I don't remember what I did to change it.  The Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors pane no longer has a Mailbox font option.
Does anyone know how to change the Mail sidebar font size in Lion?

I'm not sure what you're responding to.  Bob H. above pointed out a clear bug in changing the Mail list font when he went to Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors and changed the font setting for the Mail list (second column), and it didn't work. 
My issue was the font size in the first column (sidebar), which is not controlled in the Mail app, but by going to System Preferences/General and checking the box for changing the sidebar font size.  This checkbox also controls the font size for Finder (Desktop) windows sidebars (left column), where hard drives, other volumes, user Documents folders, and the like are listed.  This does work perfectly for me. 
I have no other suggestions for you, except for perhaps trying removing the com.apple.finder.plist file located in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, which you can access by holding down the option key while selecting the Go menu at the top of the screen.  This controls the Finder window settings you have previously selected, and may be corrupted.  Simply move it to the Desktop for temporary safekeeping, then if it simply copied it, vice moving it out of the folder, right click on the file in the folder to move it to the Trash (you may have to authenticate).  This will force the Finder to recreate a default version of the file, which you can then remodify to your liking.  If that works, Trash the copy you moved to the Desktop.  If not, put it back in the folder to restore your prior settings.
Good luck.

  • Is there a way to increase the default font size on the iPhone 4s?

    I've had my iphone 4s for a few weeks now, graduating up from the Bberry world.
    I've been searching the phone settings and the web for instructions on how to increase the default font.
    This would be most helpful for us 50+ people who use reading glasses and have trouble seeing things these days in low light or when you can't expand the text like in an email or web page.
    The affects the features like: Messaging, Notes, Reminders, Calendar, etc.....
    Seems like this device should have this ability somewhere.
    Even my lo tech Bberry had this option.....don't make me go back....

  • How to change the default font size in X11?

    I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
    Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).  
    The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
    Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
    This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
    There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
    It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
    Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
    I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.

  • How can I change the font size in the menu-, bookmark-, tabs and status-bar?

    I want to change the text font size in the Firefox-window, other than the text in the Web-page.

    You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best.
    In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • How to do I increase the font size inside the drop down menus?

    I am trying to enlarge the default font size of the drop down menus that appear when you use the items in the menu bar. For example, I want to increase the font size used in the list that appears under "bookmarks." I do not trying to do anything other than this. Theme and Font size changer does not do this.

    Can you clarify with a screenshot which for items you want to change the font size?
    I use this code on Linux for some font sizes:
    <pre><nowiki>/* font-size: sidebar */
    #commonDialog *, #sidebar-box *, #bookmarksPanel *, #history-panel *{ font-size:11pt!important; }
    /* font-size: Bookmarks */
    #bookmarksBarContent menuitem.bookmark-item,
    #bookmarksMenuPopup menu,
    #bookmarksMenuPopup menuitem { font-size:11pt!important; }
    /* font-size: search bar,autohide */
    #search-container .textbox-input-box {font-size:0px!important}
    #search-container .searchbar-textbox:hover .textbox-input-box,
    #search-container .searchbar-textbox[focused="true"] .textbox-input-box { font-size:12pt!important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"; }
    /* font-size: navigator toolbox */
    #navigator-toolbox menupopup menu, #navigator-toolbox menupopup menuitem { font-size:12px!important; }</nowiki></pre>

  • Is there a real way to increase the system font size yet?

    I got a new Mac Pro (2013 model) to use with my Dell U2711 monitor which has a native screen resolution of 2560x1440.  After spending some significant time fighting with cables (HDMI and DVI will not allow for full native resolution due to a Dell issue, only Display Port works), I finally got my screen working at the full native resolution.  Since I am going from a previous resolution of 1920x1080, as you can imagine, the text is pretty small.
    I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1. 
    I searched the forums for a way to increase the default font size and found a ton of posts, but most posts were older or got the response "Change your screen resolution" which translates to "Drop your resolution to a non-native and clearly inferior mode" or buy some special computer reading glasses.  These are not real solutions for me.  I do professional photo editing so being able to have a high screen resolution is important.  With a great OS I would think there would have to be a way to increase the font size.  (Surely if Windows can do it, so can Mac OS).  I know I can do it for some individual applications like iTunes, Safari, Chrome, etc.  But I can't find a way to increase it for apps that don't have a font size option or for default mac applications like the action bar.  Is this an issue that just keeps being ignored or is there a solution yet?
    With 4K displays already on the market and 8K ones being shown off at CES, if we can't control the default font size, are the next set of solutions going to be "Go buy a really big magnifying glass"?  If the current answer is still that I'm SOL, could we please get some feedback to the product group that this is a real issue and it's only going to get worse with higher res monitors coming.  I don't think many people will be happy dropping their 4K displays to 1080 resolution or lower just so they can read the text.

    Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Fonts tab, and change the font sizes.

  • Why ist the printed font size smaller then the choosen font size in pages

    Hi,
    sorry about my english it´s a lot of years agoo i used it.
    since a cuple of months i choosed a mac mini to be used as my favorit pc-system. Now i am using pages to create letters and stuff like greeting cards, posters, flyers and so on.
    In this i´ll find a problem between the choosen font sizes and the printed paper.
    If i choose a font and size like arial 12, and start the print job of the lettert with my Printer (Samsung 3170 MFC or Samsung 315), the size of the printed font is very smaller than the in pages choosen font (seen on the screen.
    If i use MS offce it is the right size on the screen as on the printet paper.
    What do i wrong?
    Greetings from Hamburg Germany

    Maybe because your document isn't displayed at 100% but at 120% on your screen.
    On my iMac, to get the same size on screen and on paper, the zoom factor must be 142% which can't be done thru the available interface.

  • Is it even possible to increase the font size in the Illustrator CC UI? Panels are unreadable!

    With the demise of my beloved Fireworks, I am giving Illustrator CC a try. Right off the bat it is unusable due to the microscopic font sizes in the UI, panels in particular. Is there any way to make the UI more readable?

    In OSX search for the "FontTheme_Panel.xml" file within the "Adobe Illustrator CC.app" package. (right click + "show package contents"). In it you'll see the code below.... I didn't mess with the "!ENTITY" kText values, just the "FontSize name=" values. You'll probably want to bump the "Text_Main_Large" size up to 13. Past that it doesn't read well but then again I guess you could set custom row heights for panels like layers.
    And as always, back up the original and back up your altered file.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <!DOCTYPE ThemeParameters [
      <!-- defines entities for the text ids -->
      <!ENTITY kText_Main_Large "0"> <!-- default text id -->
      <!ENTITY kText_Main_Small "1">
      <!ENTITY kText_Title "2">
      <!-- entity definitions for the font size schemes -->
      <!ENTITY kFontSizeSchemeSmall "0">
      <!ENTITY kFontSizeSchemeMedium "1">
      <!ENTITY kFontSizeSchemeLarge "2">
    ]>

  • How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

    I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
    Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
    Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
    How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
    Here are the instructions from the third website above:
    Things You'll Need:
    Site designed in Wordpress
    Administrator access
    Step 1
    First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
    Step 2
    Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
    Step 3
    Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
    Step 4
    Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
    The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
    It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
    I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
    The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

    From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
    I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
    This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
    I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
    As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards
