Mail box font is TOO BIG (maverick OSX)

hi:
i sadly just upgraded to the new osX. all sorts of problems and as usual no simple chat to ask direct questions.
even though i got it from app store. no chat options are showing... for me. apparently they are suppose to.
so maybe someone in the community can help me.
the FONT on the mailbox panel + the message listing panel, are TOO BIG. and no matter what i do in the properties under font, it has no impact.
the properities/font appears only to impact the email message itself.
I need to change the FONT back to what it was before i upgraded to maverick OSX from snow leopard. its way too big.
since upgrading to maverick OSX, the font in my browswer (firefox) is still OK. nothing apears to have changed.
but in the apple mail app - A MESS.
any clues?

hi bee, thankyou for your trying to help, but unfortunately you missed a key word in my question. I am asking "mailbox" pane.
your answer is for the 3rd pane, the email message itself. i have no issue with that. properties has not changed in teh upgrade to maverick OS.
the 2nd pane (message listing) and 1st pane (listing of mailbox) HAS CHANGED in upgrade to maverick OSX.
what i learnt from apple support is:
pane 2: listing of what is in mailbox. -- was possible to change font in classic style. can continue to do this in maverick osx ONLY if you choose the option retain "classic style" under properties/view. else changing the setting in your screenshot has NO IMPACT in the new user interface. so that in my book is bad coding. defect.
pane 1: listing of mailbox -- not possible. and got uglier in maverick OS as now the font is even bigger. plain ugly and needs to be retified. i have about 10 mailboxes so all my screenspace is gone with just the mailboxes and requires scrolling to folders. boring....

One hot mail e mail account the screen/font is too big

I have multiple e mail accounts that are linked. One of the accounts now has a font size too big for the screen. I cannot view anything without moving the bars up and down or left and right. Very annoying. When I go that e mail account with internet explorer the font size, screen is normal for that e mail account just like all the others. What do I do to get firefox to display the screen in default or normal size?

Safari Font Size Too BIG

My daughter was on my computer and somehow changed the font size in safari and it is too big. I've tried the command/shift/- and and that is not changing the appearance (font is still too big). Any other suggestions? All webpages are affected.

Figured it out (thanks prior poster)
Go to Safari Preferences > Advanced.
Then adjust the size of type to display as you like it.
This one is set to 10, but you can up to 24 if you need to.
Hope this helps.

Fonts are TOO BIG

It gripes me that when listing the podcast recordings that are in each podcast group, that the font size used by the iPhone is way too big and you cannot read very much of the description.
The phone has such great image quality that even small fonts are easy to read, and they could show much more of the description.

I have done both, doesn't fix it unfortunately
EDIT:
I just tried AGAIN and it worked... Dont understand why but its fine now. For everyone wondering:
- disable custom dpi
- close appearance
- enable again
- restart
is what worked for me.

Fonts are too big under Linux

Hello,
under my Linux X11 installation (gdm,xfce4) the fonts of the Oracle Calendar are too big. Is there a way to set up the font size of the calendar application manually?
Thanks in advance, Hauke!

My ''clever mail boxes'' are empty after installing mavericks

Hello,
I work on an Imac 27" 16GB ram OS X 10.9
After migration from OS X 10.8 to 10.9 everything looks well with no missing email in any account no emails problems but my clever mails boxes are now empty! all intelligent boxes are completely empty!
When I use the ''search'' it works just for the first results, but not for the details !! Because when I choose one of the proposed research results, it gives me always a blank page!
Outside the Mail software, Spotlight works really very well
I checked if nothing was fired in spotlight I made several rebuilding the spotlight index, but the problem persists, I do not know what to do?
Does someone has an idea? thank you
Thank you

Hello
Thanks a lot !!!
I had a look of what you wrote and I have found the problem
In the spotlight system preferences, mail was checked in the
search results, but library was not in the " confidentiality " or
"Privacy" tab
Thanks

Font name too big to see

Hi, i'm using Acrobat X1 on Mac OSX Mavericks
I have some large font families with long names but i can't see the full name in the drop down in the content editing section, and there doesn't seem to be away to expand the toolbar to make them fully visible. Even if I hover over the full name isn't revealed.
Is there anything I can do to make the font name more visible as this is really slowing me down.
Cheers

Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

I've exported my pages graphics document as a PDF file and can't seem to reduce the file size without compromising the quality of the photo's used even after choosing "best" quality. I'm trying to send the file via e-mail but it's too big. ??????

I am trying to e-mail a graphics pages document I made as a PDF file. After trying to resize the file, the photo's quality is compromised (really blurry) even after choosing "Best" quality. What am I doing wrong. As a regular full sized file (PDF) it's fine, but when it gets reduced, it's bad and it needs to get printed from the e-mail copy I'm trying to send. HELP! Please.

If there are a lot and/or large images the file will inevitably be large, no matter what.
You can reduce them down as far as possible by cropping and scaling them to the final size before creating the pdf. You can do this by opening the images in Preview .app and using Menu > Tools to reduce the resolution and to crop.
If you have used transparency effects eg shadow, reflection, transparency, 3D charts, OSX will by default render these at 72dpi in the pdf.

Xfce4 fonts are too big for some applications

Hi there,
overall, my fonts are just fine. However, in some applications (panel and thunar from what I've noticed so far), the fonts are about twice as big. I assume those are applications which are started quite early.
I'm on a 4k monitor, xfce4 desktop environment, dpi set to 96 in the xorg conf.
Any ideas are appreciated

I have done both, doesn't fix it unfortunately
EDIT:
I just tried AGAIN and it worked... Dont understand why but its fine now. For everyone wondering:
- disable custom dpi
- close appearance
- enable again
- restart
is what worked for me.
