Composing Mail: How do I make the font bigger?

How do I change the font size of the Mail Message I am composing, for my viewing purposes only? I don't want to send a message with larger font. I just want to be able to see the email while I am composing it. I am using a smaller macbook these days and the font on the composition page seems awfully small, yet it sends in the proper size. My concern is if I change it in the mail>preferences>font section that the email will be sent with a font that is too big! It would be like doing business with crayons...:o)

Yeah, I tried that, but workspace is so limited on the 13" Macbook that I don't want to sacrifice that for squinting when composing an email in Mail...
I know I can change the font while typing the email and change it back before sending but I am still wondering if there is simply a way to change the font for viewing the email I am composing.. It seems you can do this with the smaller/bigger button in every other function except composing a message..
I appreciate the quick response. Thanks.

How do I make the font bigger

I have just bought a Dell computer with a 27 inch screen. I can increase the size of the print in windows, but that seems to have no effect in Firefox.
All I can find in your "how to" pages is how to use programs, etc. Nothing about DISPLAY.
How can I make the TEXT bigger so that I can see it on this big screen?
Thank you very much

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
*Big Buttons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/big-buttons/
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.

How can I make the font bigger in Creative Cloud?

Since I saw no other posts come up in the search, I need to know if I can make the Creative Cloud app itself have a bigger font. I finally found where someone had shown how to do it for Photoshop. (This is due to the fact I am on a Toshiba laptop with an Ultra 4K screen, resolution at 3840 x 2160.) Basically I can barely read any of the app names to know what is available to install.
Thanks for the help!!!

Please refer to for updated information: Creative Cloud fonts, installation, FAQ | Adobe

How do I make the font automatically get larger when it come to my screen?

I am a senior citizen and I need a large font. I found out how to make the font automatically get larger sometime ago but have forgotten how it was done. I want the font automatically get larger
each time a page come to my screen. For example, if I am in yahoo
email when I go into my inbox I would like for the font to be larger
without my having to do anything.
It seems to me that I went into "Tools" and got that done onetime but that does not seem to work now.
Thank you.

How can I make the font size in my address bar smaller?

On my laptop running Windows XP, Firefox 7, suddenly the font size on my tabs and in the address bar are huge. I have no idea what happened to make them that way. It's horrible.

I finally got the font size issue remedied. I somehow had an add on to make the print large in the address bar. But I have saved your tip to a folder for future reference and thank you so much.
Now if someone could just help me with this crashing business. I can't isolate it because nothing is constant. I unselected hardware acceleration and this is the longest I've gone without a crash, but I'm not thinking I've got it solved.
This is on an old laptop running XP. Firefox was running just fine until yesterday morning when I uninstalled RoboForm and installed LastPass. After that I started getting the crashes, yet I'm not pretty sure they have nothing to do with LastPass itself.

How do i make the font on my safari toolbar bigger

i just purchased an iMac and the font on the safari bookmark menu is too small. How do I change it?

While you can increase the size of the font your web browser displays a font with (look under the Advanced tab of Preferences) you cannot resize the menubar or menu items. You can change the resolution by selecting Displays in the System Preferences and clicking on the scaled item. From there you can choose a different screen resolution. However, unlike old CRT displays, LCDs have a single 'native' resolution and everything else is a derivation which may or may not be entirely clear. You may also find that some programs won't run well in the lower resolutions.

How can I make the font stay large?

I need a large font, but every time I go to a new pageI have to reset the font size.

Interesting question. In many programs pressing Option + will increase magnification, but not so in the desktop address book. One option then is to log into iCloud in your browser and view address book there. The view is larger immediately, and you can easily increase the view even further as you would with any browser window.

Can I make the fonts bigger in the status bar and the notification pop ups?

I'm really struggling to read some of the pop ups. And the status bar is almost impossible. Why is the font smaller on an iPad then an iPhone? I can't read the tabs either. The zoom feature helps but come on already. I've made the fonts bolder but they are just too small. I'm 54 and have worn glasses since I was 6 and there are several areas on this device that are nearly impossible to read. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've done computer support for many years. Recently moved to a retirement community where the residents have computers of all varieties, and much less trouble with macs than with PCs BUT Safari is terrible for older people with its tiny print, black on dark gray. Latest versions of Chrome seem to crash a lot, so I'd like to encourage them to use Safari, but the tiny print on tabs is a stumbling block. Is there any extension or plug-in that will help with THAT? I know how to increase font size on web sites, that's not the problem. It is the specific Safari tabs that are the problem.

How do you make the font of a link different to the link font in Page Properties?

In my case, I've designated links as Century Gothic, 16, black in Page Properties. I want most of the links on my page to be like that. However, there is one link that I'd like to look different (I want it to be size 12). How would I change that without changing the other links?

Hi Bob,
If the link change is only going to be happening on a single page, you might
want to take a look at using an internal style sheet or using a inline style to
achieve the look you seek.
Below is a link to perhaps help you to understand the use of css.

How can I make the thumbnails bigger -- again?

One of the things I dislike about my MacBook, Mac OS X 10.6.3, is that it often makes things on my screen smaller that I don't want shrunk because I make some gesture on the touchpad. I'm not sure what the offending gesture is, because this just happens to me randomly.
It happened in iPhoto, and now the thumbnails are really small. I can't figure out how to make them big again. I have tried going to View - Thumbnails, but unfortunately the options after that are grayed out; i.e., I cannot choose any of them.
Is there any way to restore the thumbnails to the default size?

You an set all options back top their default by renewing the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
BUT
To increase the size of the iPhoto thumbnails just use the little slider toward the lower right hand corner of the iPhoto window.

How do you make the icons bigger in Illustrator?

I've read a lot of questions like this and people are saying to adjust the resolution on your computer?! ABSURD! There is no way that this is the right answer. Once you adjust the resolution on your computer, the image quality goes to hell. I work with a lot of CAD software and most have an option for small Medium and LARGE icons. PLEASE someone tell me this option is available in Adobe and I am just not seeing it!
Thanks,
krs777

Crazy! With the monitors being so big and the resolution getting so clear, you would think that this would be something greatly appreciated by Adobe's users. Time to make a request I guess....
Thanks Kurt.
