Font Goes large on it's own

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

My Macbook Pro started freezing all the time & going to sleep on its own for no reason

I've been having trouble for a few weeks with my computer freezing way too often for seemingly no reason - I'm using it exactly the same way I always have with no problems, and even actively trying to have less applications open (which seems to have no effect). I can't always load simple webpages without it freezing and giving me the color wheel and it's just MUCH slower in general. It is seriously making it difficult to use my computer for work or for fun...
It has also started going to sleep on its own - the screen will just go black (or sometimes BLUE) and the keyboard lights turn off, and the only way to get it to wake back up is to close the computer, wait, open it again and click or press a key. It doesn't respond to any keys/clicks until it has been closed and reopened.
It seems to overheat really easily lately as well - but it does not always overheat when it freezes.
SMC reset did not seem to have an effect. Activity Monitor doesn't show anything crazy, everything is pretty much 0% except Firefox around 7-12% as I'm typing this. 246 GB available on my hard drive so that doesn't seem to be the problem either. Right after restarting my computer it seems better but the problems quickly resurface...
I googled for help before posting this and someone had suggested running the command
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|find tok|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
in Terminal, which they said "Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty." But mine gave this:

Eric - I dont understand how I'd use caffeinate. I am not running any code or particular script. My system goes to sleep if surfing the web, or running Word or Excel, etc.
Or.. Are you saying I should go through and type 'caffeinate X' for all of my applications?

I get "an error has occurred in the script on this page" it comes up for no reason on Firefox and I can't remove the message, it then goes away on it's own after 3 minutes? how do I prevent this message coming up? I have Windows 7.

Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
Any ideas?
I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
Looking forward for any help.

It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

Screen goes large w/o asking repeatedly?

screen goes large repeatedly. must go to actual size to fix. also maps move w/o touching mouse. Please any help?

I did switch the mouse and quit using the wireless. It did help, but my old mouse won't scroll so that was not good since I had gone beyond that inconvenience. Thanks for your input.
Oh, another problem is my Bookmarks move so I have to try and grab the one I want. Say I click on my "News" bookmark; there used to be a list below it that showed exactly what was there. Now there is no index and the sites just pass by until I can find the correct one. Don't know if I have properly explained this. Now I don't think that is Lion's fault because it was not that way at first. This computer does not feel my love...

Why are all my fonts abnormally large?

I am working with a class in which multiple students have had their font sizes turn abnormally large. A normal 12pt font is ridiculously big and even going as small as possible (6pt) results in text that would normally be what I would call an 18-20pt font... any ideas what is going on? I am pretty new to this and I am guessing this is a pretty basic answer. Thanks for the help!

Email font too large

I set the "minimum font size" to small, but the font size is still way too big. How to I get a smaller font? It's pretty annoying not being able to see more of an email. Especially when having the phone horizontally, the "small" font is still huge.
We have such a super nice resolution screen and it would be really nice to take advantage of it.

When a message is composed in HTML, the sender controls the formatting. No setting on your iPhone can change the size of the text without pinching and zooming on the body of the email to make the text larger only. If the sender uses a large font for text, you can't reduce the size of the text any smaller than the size of the font chosen by the sender or how it is rendered.
When a message is composed in plain text, the recipient or you control the formatting with the minimum font size selection on your iPhone - Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, Giant. When a sender uses plain text for message composition, the size of the text will be your chosen size for the minimum font size, which will be the same for every message received that is composed in plain text. If you want to make the text larger, you can zoom in on the text by pinching and zooming.
I want to be able to see more of the email at once. I want to take advantage of the nice high resolution screen on the iPhone 4.
You can do this if the sender uses plain text for message composition based on your minimum font size selection. All bets are off if the sender uses HTML for message composition since the sender controls the formatting when doing so.
http://www.birdhouse.org/etc/evilmail.html
Because it introduces accessibility problems. When you write in plain text, the receiving mail client renders the text in whatever font the reader chooses. When you format email with HTML, the sender controls the formatting. But this is a trap: You only think your message will render the same way to the viewer as it appears to the sender. In reality, the receiver can end up squinting because the font looks so tiny, or vice versa. HTML is not rendered the same way from one viewing client to the next - all guarantee of accessiblity goes out the window.

Type font too large on website

On one website, I somehow managed to enlarge the type font or zoom in so that the sides are cropped. In the past, I've minimized the
page images and type fonts and only resolved it by blowing out Firefox and reinstalling it. This is on my laptop (Windows 7) and I think it may have something to do with letting my finger rest on the touchpad when I hit the right/left click button.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Font too large on main screen

I'm running Windows 7. I just installed iTunes 10.6.0.40. The font on the summary page is too large and I can't read all the info on that page.The other tabs are too large too but the info is smaller and can be read. How do I change this font size?

If you go into Options | Screen/Keyboard can you change the font to something else? Actually I'm not sure if that will change the home screen's font. Did other theme's have larger font's that you liked?
Here are some links to other today themes. Some are even free

Mac Mini sound goes to zero on its own.

I have had my mini since 2009. This issue has happened intermittantly since I got it but has happened several times in the last while. The sound output goes to zero. On it's own. I go into system preferences to sound and slide the bar back to my desired level and all is ducky until it happens again. I suppose I should have spoken to Apple about this when Applecare was still in play but it did not happen much. Silly me. Any ideas about the cause? I am guessing this is mobo related and a cure will be costly. If I go that route.
I run a line out of the headphone jack that splits to my amp and a set of headphones.

Well, it was just a shot at a possibilility.

HT201412 why are the fonts so large when I pull it out of my pocket..can't slide the startup because the fonts are way to large

Apple does not replace screens and your iPad is clearly out of warranty, not that accidental damage would be covered anyway. If you want to try to have your iPad fixed, there are 3rd party repair centers you can try. In your google search bar type the following:
"ipad repair "xxxxx"
Put your city in the "xxxx" for example, "tampa, fl"
There will likely be some options you could investigate.
Or, you could sell your iPad, even damaged to Gazelle.com and get yourself a shiny new iPad. And if you do, make sure you add AppleCare+ for $99. This not only increases your Apple technical support for two full years, but would get you up to two iPad replacements at $49 each.

Why are the fonts displayed larger in Mountain Lion?

Hi,
I have upgrade a 4 year old (ish) iMac from Snow Lepoard to Mountain Lion, and all my documents now seem to be display the fonts larger post upgrade then they did before the upgrade.
For example I have a spread sheet with an Arial 10 font, the font actully is displaying as something that looks closer to 14 point font.
Any ideas how I get to display the fonts at a normal level?
Oh and whats up with the brightness? I have it set to zero for the display to be usable :s
Thanks.
Gavin

I dont think it is, thats the first thing I checked. The Resolution is set at, best for builtin display, Ihave tried sitting to the highest setting and to the one below that just to make sure it was actually picking the best resoloution, I might try that again, and load the offending documents and see what happens.
On the other hand the menu, and applications seem to render correctly, the only place I am currenlly sure I am seeing this is at shut down, and with open office.
I will check for an update to open office.
Currently repairing permissions to see if that helps.
Thanks
