Font size can't be changed

Hi.
Mail.app (3.5)
While changing the mail font sizes in Preferences, I screwed up by entering a huge number by accident. The font is ginormous and I cannot reset it back to normal as the 'select' screen is out of sight in the format window.
All emails now have this huge font and reading emails uses it to. However I can select a new font in create mode.
I hope this doesn't sound too confusing but I have tried everything to recover the status quo and failed,
Any advice would be welcome.
TIA
Ritch S

Hi Ritch
Oooh, that's a nice one. I reproduced it
Quit Mail.app
Go to /Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Preferences
Copy com.apple.mail.plist to your desktop as a backup.
Open com.apple.mail.plist in Preferences folder with a text editor of your choice (drag and drop it on the icon in the dock).
Search for
<key>NSFontSize</key>
<string>77</string>
Instead of 77 (you'll see the number you entered by accident) enter something like 12 or 14.
Save the file.
Start Mail.app
If that didn't help, it could also be one of the following keys in the preference file:
<key>NSFont</key>
<key>FontSize</key>
Hope this helps. If you mess around with preference files for the first time, make sure you can take some time!

We are having a similar issue. The text in the Notes pane remains small (sub 8 point?) and the Font appears also to remain the same generic Sans Serif font. Here is a same that we put together after reinstalling Presenter 7 because of another, unrelated issue. What is causing this?

RH8 HTML, workspace font 8pt, can it be changed?

Hi,
My IT department just upgraded me to a faster machine Windows 7 however my RH8 HTML displays my Project Manager et al pods in Ariel 8pt. I know I can adjust the topic font size from the View option, however, has anyone figured out how to change the font size elsewhere on the workspace? My css works fine in my output. It's just my workspace view.
Thanks
Jan

I realize this is an old thread, but since I just encountered the same thing in RH11, I thought I would comment. I don't know how RoboHelp interprets what fonts size to use, but I was using two 22" monitors and a 14" laptop screen at 1920x1080 with Windows 8.1. I am testing TCS5 against MadPak. I'd never seen this problem in RH, and I was starting to think I would need to go with Flare to see the screen. I tried changing the resolution and nothing happened.
It wasn't until I pitted the two screen capture programs against each other that I realized something else was going on. Neither of them could capture. RoboScreen Capture was changing the resolution and making a single browser window take up the entire 22" monitor screen. I was seeing other inconsistencies with menu sizes, and I was not able to resize the display text or menus the way that I like them. I also noticed that moving windows from the laptop screen to the monitors resulted in the screens being very large for until they were completely on the new monitors screen (vs. in transition between the two).
To resolve the problem, I have had to stop using the laptop scree, but I suspect it's a Windows bug related to graphics, and it impacts RoboHelp because of the way RoboHelp determines its work space font size. A new graphics driver or a reinstallation may be what is really needed in these situations. It does appear that the bug has only gotten worse in Windows 8.1 (perhaps related to the increasing options allowing users to resize display items separately).
Once I changed my settings to two monitors and rebooted, all of my problems resolved. As multiple monitor use becomes more and more common, and Windows continues to become more customizable, Adobe may well want to change the way RH11 determines its font size. Flare did not bat an eye at this bug. It was fine. Both graphics programs were unusable but in different ways.

How do i change font size for iMac without change the screen resolution?

I have a iMac 27", and it have maximun resolution screen of 2560 x 1440, then the size of the font into the bar of the windows and application is to small. If I change the resolution (1920 x1080) the font size increased, but the definition o apparence is to low. I wants to keep the higthes resolution and obtain larger font.
Thank you.
Tengo un computador iMac de 27 pulgadas que además tiene una resolución de pantalla de 2560 x 1140, por lo tanto el tamaño de font o letra en la barra de menús de cualquier ventana o aplicación se ve muy pequeña. Si se cambia la resolución a una inferior el tamaño aumenta; pero se ve borroso. Quisiera mantener la máxima resolución y tener un tamaño de font mayor.
Gracias

Hello,
You can't really change it overall, but you for some Apps, like Safari>Preferences>Appearance, Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors.

Title Font Defaults - Can they be Changed?

I do not like the default font and size on the Title pane I have chosen. Can these be defaulted to something else? If so, how do I change for the entire project versus having to change each clip?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Not done this for a while but I think once you change the font, next time you open a title it sticks. Can't be absolutely sure but either way it still means you'll need to change all those done already, manually one by one.

Font size and type not changing in subtitles

I have tried to change the size and font of my subtitles in my DVD SP Preferences (DVD SP 3). They change in the settings window but the size and font of the subtitles in the film remains the same which is huge
I have clicked apply in the prefrences menu but nothing changes in the film.
Am I missing something?

Are the subtitles already in place in the stream for the film? Sounds like they are. If so select one of the subtitles and change it's formatting then Apply to stream. That should work. If you change the preferences that will only apply to newly created subtitles (I'm assuming you don't have the subs as an external file and have created them in DVD-SP?)

Why does pdf not have correct font? Can this be changed to match what is on our Word Document?

The pdf does not have the same font as my document. We use Claredon Condensed Bold Italic and it changes it on the pdf?
Also, is there an easy way to just pick a certain pages to pdf?

Hi pkevdon,
How well a file converts depends largely on the quality of the original file.
Does it occur with all files or with specific one?
Would you send your PDF document to [email protected] as an email attachment?
I will check it from my end.Please add the link to this forum post for reference.

Preferences for font style can't be changed

Hi there,
I have been trying to set the font in preferences to use a different fonts for new mails. However, the settings will not be saved.
Is there any way to do that?
Andreas

Not sure what you mean by the settings will not be saved and is this for received or sent messages?
If for received messages, this preference setting works when the sender of a message uses Plain Text for message composition only.
When the sender of a message uses HTML for message composition, the sender of the message controls the formatting, not the recipient.

Change Web feed font size for C6

Can anyone tell me how to change the font size when reading web feed using the browser. Basically, the text is too small and I can't change it when read web feeds.

Font size can't be changed in the feed's "preview window". By tapping on topic (a link to web page) you can select the font size in the web browser settings or zoom by tapping twice.

Setting the default on font size

using a template from numbers.
and
trying to reset the font size.
can one not change the font size using a template?

I am assuming you mean the font size in a table.
I have not made many templates but here is what I just did:
New document
Selected the table and set the font size to 18pt
In the sidebar next to "Basic" I clicked on the triangle and chose "redefine style from table"
Saved the document as a template
A new document created from this template has 18pt text in the table. New tables I create are created with 18pt text.
Is that what you are looking for?
If you use one of the other table styles from the sidebar, you will have to do the same thing to them as you did for the basic table style before you save it as a template.

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

IMovie-Why can't I change the font of my title?

My simple question is that when I open the Font window from the menu to try to change the type, size and color of my font it doesn't change anything.
Below is the step by step of what I'm doing if you need this information:
I choose "T" button below view screen.
Select "Organic Main" and drag and drop it infront of my video (Green line indicates where to put it, and a green plus confirms the move is good).
Screen pops up asking me to choose background, I choose "Organic".
View screen shows new background with Text "Title Text Here" highlighted.
Project screen shows the new block in the front of my video clips, on top of this box is the blue rectangle box that is highlighted yellow and repeats the "Title Text Here" text.
So far so good.
I go to the top menu and choose "Text > Show Fonts". The Font window pops up.
Now when I click on fonts, font sizes, or try to change the color of the font, nothing happens.
I close the font window and hit done on my preview window and still nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much in advance, you people are always so helpful
Michele Ireys

Hi Appleman,
So what causes the Title Sequence from not being able to be edited?
As per michelepost comments earlier, neither the "Show Fonts" function allows title values to be changed, nor if the iMove Font Panel displayed?
From the Menu options, neither does the Cmd- or Cmd+ functions work to manage the size of the title text...
Can new titles be created with images from my photo library be used as backgrounds for Titles?
Whilst on the theme, why when changing photo image durations, the value in time entered does not relate to the image(s) selected? I enter 1.8seconds, and 0.9 is displayed against the selected image.......
Looking forward to your response in advance.
Maggie

How do you change the FILE "print code" resulting printed font size?

I would like to adjust the "Print Code" resulting printed document font size. Though the changes can be made in display font for the Code window via a file or the Preferences Menu, I cannot find the style information to change the Print Code.
Thanks

Thanks again for your reply.
I would like the code print out font to be a smaller size. Currently, it ls printing at 12 pt Monaco ( I can emulate this exactly by printing the same document in an editor set as Monaco 12pt ). However, the settings (see below) are set at Monanco 9pt. This works on the screen, but not for printing.
http://goo.gl/eXhnz > screenshot of Setting show "smallest".
Yet the code:print gives me more characters per line, resulting in many more pages per printout. The "print preview" shown in my last message is exactly what the printed page looks like as well.
NOTE: with the same settings ("smallest Monaco 9pt), Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX *does* code:print the smaller size, though without color coding. Dreamweaver CS 5 on my system does not.
Thank you.

Font size changes in one book changes all books-

I'm really enjoying the new iBooks service on my iPad. The only issue I have, more of an irritation than a major problem and I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if it is an oversight with the way the iBooks app works, is that changing font size in one book changes the font size in others…
Currently I'm reading the Steve Jobs biography, mainly during the day, and also the Game of Thrones series, mostly at night before bed. The problem is, these two books have wildly different default font sizes - the Steve Jobs book having much larger text. If I downsize the text in Steve Jobs, it downsizes it in the other book too.
This wouldnt be such a problem except that resizing text reflows the whole book and I lose my page…
Is this an oversight with the app or am I missing some setting I should change? Or is this related to syncing between devices?
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue with the Jobs book. I'm not switching between books, the autobiography is just resetting the font itself. Every night I scale it down, then the next night the font is huge again.
