Default Font Size Options AI CS6

I use a couple of large font sizes (above 72pt) very frequently (ie 172pt), and would like to know if there is a way to add those to the default drop down selections in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!

It's not precisely what you want, but darn close would be to create a character or paragraph style where the only variable is the point size of the type. Then you'd just neeed to click that style to format your text. Here's some pics. I used a character style assuming you might have other text that should not have the big size. If that's not the case I'd use a paragraph style to make it just a hair easier.

  • How do I set default font size?

    Some programs (most importantly for me, Thunderbird) use a default font size that is too small for my eye comfort. Some (such as Firefox) allow me to change the font size, but Thunderbird does not (though there is a menu item to change font size, which does not work).
    I gather that such programs are using a default system font size. So I would like to change this. Some Help articles suggested that I could do this from the Font Panel, but they give no indication where to find the Font Panel. I cannot find it in System Preferences or via the Spotlight.
    I am using OS X 10.4.7
    I am computer-literate, but new to the Mac, having had this computer for about a week and a half.
    P.S. In Thunderbird -> Preferences -> Fonts there is an option to configure the fonts used by Thunderbird. The settings affect messages, but not the main window with the message list. However, at this point I'd really like to set the system default so all programs that use the system default will be affected.
    Thanks.

    This still does not work.
    I tried all of them.
    Theme Font & Size Changer
    Big Buttons
    Default FullZoom Level
    NoSquint.
    It only works for that page of that web site, as soon as you leave you start all over again.
    Can't we just say Firefox messed up and needs to revert to the way it used to work without have to do ANYTHING to adjust any sizing.
    This is utterly ridiculous.
    It's a web browser for GOD sakes...not the OS. It shouldn't be doing anything but displaying web sites with NO INTERVENTION by the user for each and every page.
    Why are programers always looking for ways to take a working product and make it useless???

    Pierre,
    You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Altering email default font & size?

    Does anyone have any idea on howto alter the default font & size of email text?
    I have changed it, but it reverts to the setting prior to my change when I send another email.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    BT Mail has turned out to be very basic. Unless and until it's enhanced, an email client such as Thunderbird is the way to overcome this issue. It's probably a safer option than webmail for most users anyway.

  • 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.

  • My default font size is set at 18px. Is this the default default font size for all users of ff 3.6+?

    I was developing a site in ff when I noticed other browsers were rendering the font size smaller than in firefox. Upon investigation I discovered that my ff 3.6 default font was Adobe Caslon Pro Bold 18px.
    I have never deliberately set this. My understanding was that all browsers default default font size was 16px.
    Has ff default font size changed from 16px to 18px?

    You're welcome.
    You can also see preferences that have changed as bold (user set) values on the about:config page.<br />

  • Default font size for message buttons

    I am using Office/Powerpoint 2012 and Adobe Presenter 8.
    When a quiz question is created all of the elements use formatting from the theme, default shape, default text box etc. The appearance tab formatting can only be applied AFTER the quiz has been created and these settings are ignored when the quiz question is created.
    I can manage all of the formats using power point formatting EXCEPT for the font size on the message buttons! It is always sized to 18pt. I am forced to navigate back to the appearance tab and "apply formatting to all existing quizzes".
    It's not all that time consuming but it is an extra step that could be eliminated if i could only find how to set this default font size!!
    The font size i am trying to default to is Calibri 16.
    The font that is applied to new message buttons is Calibri 18.
    Any idea how this can be accomplished?
    p.s. Is it also possible to change the position of the buttons?

    Hi,
    You need to change the Quiz message font using the the Appearance tab in Quiz. There is no other way.
    Also , you may change both the orientation as well as the position of buttons using the Appearance tab in Quiz.
    Goto Appearance->button placement->Orientation
    Appearance->button placement->Position on slide
    Thanks,

  • "enlarge default font size"

    Between early cataracts and not being able to get computer glasses made right.  I am tryingn to figure out how to enlarge the default font size for text in all (most?) of Safari.  When I click on the "make the font larger" feaure [A/A], it makes headlines scream and doesn't do all that much for reading.
    If I am finding the correct place at which one would normall deal with it, the alternatives that seem to work best  for me have disappeared.  I believe I had set it manually set to 15, but once I tried to change it, it would only go back to up to 14 and then 18, which is too big.   It would be great if someone could help me with this.  Thanks.
    I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and am almost sorry I upgraded.

    Ronald P. Regensburg wrote at MacInTouch:
    These Terminal commands allow you to change the fonts and sizes in Safari 6 in Mountain Lion. You might have to empty caches (enable Develop menu in Safari 6) to see the result and remove the css setting (to "nothing selected"). Font names with spaces need to be between quotation marks. Change yours accordingly.
    Full example for proportional font:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2StandardFontFamily 'Lucida Grande'

  • Default font size for Text screen in customer document

    We use the text function to enter additional customer data for customer invoice correspondence. The data is pasted from a Word document onto an existing invoice document using menu Extras - Texts - select Correspondence then paste.
    Once pasted the tab funstion is used to line up the data.
    The default font within the 'Text' screen is different from the default font used in the correspondence. This causes a misalighnment of the text when printing the invoice.
    How do I change the default font size in the 'Text' screen. This is probably more of a techie than functional uestion. The SAP screen is SAPLSTXX (via either FB03 or FBl5N)

  • Why won't website navigation links/images/buttons load properly when I set my own font & font size options?

    I've just noticed a glitch in Firefox when I go to Tools >> Options >> Content >> Fonts & Colors >> Advanced, and set my own font and font size, and force websites to use them. For some reason, this makes websites' navigation buttons fail to show properly.
    For example, a website's search bar will show, but the magnifying glass icon will be a box-with-tiny-code. The boxes-with-tiny-code will also replace things like heart icons for Like buttons, arrow icons for Reply and Page Up/Down, things like that.
    The link itself is still there, but with all the buttons replaced by identical-looking boxes-with-tiny-code, it's impossible to see what to click without mousing over and hoping a pop-up label will tell me what to use.
    Is there a way around this, because I'd like to be able to set a larger font size without making webpages unusable?
    ETA: Images of my Tumblr dash, which shows the prblem most clearly, and the font & size options I picked.

    It could be there is no room for the icons to show properly.

  • Default font size for a value in a table in Answers

    Hi,
    I am trying to set a default font size for a column of table view in Answers, so that when I create a new report, this default font size is used. Can someone please point me to the file where I can make this change?
    Thanks

    Well if you have a tag like this:
    element.style {
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    font-size:9px;
    It means it's coming from the formatting in the request in Answers...not from a style sheet! You'll note in Firebug, that there's actually no *.css file mentionned. I.e. example from here:
    element.style {
    color:#00AF00;
    .OORD {views.css (line 1574)
    text-align:right;
    .PTE {views.css (line 1077)
    background-color:#FFFFFF;
    First part element.style comes from my conditional formatting and doesn't reference any css file
    The other two elements are from the views.css which control my pivot table.
    See the difference?
    Cheers,
    C.
