Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed.

I notice that when I upgraded from Desktop 4.1 to Desktop 4.1.4 that the font size for memos, calendar, contacts, .etc is considerably smaller than it was in DT 4.1.
I've seen some posts here that seem to suggest that there is NO way to change the font size of Palm Desktop for the Palm III class of PDA's.
I suppose Palm thought they were doing us a favor by decreasing the font size and allowing more viewable text on screen BUT actually it's just another source of eye strain.
Anyone found a work around for this before I roll back to Desktop 4.1?--'cause I'm sure not about to change my system default font size or resolution to accommodate this new "feature".
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
   File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
   Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard   (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral   (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4
Thanks a Lot... It works excellent for me!

UI font size in dreamweaver is too small - can it be changed?

Hi,
I just purchased Dreamweaver CS6 and found to my dismay that the UI font sizes are so small that I need a magnifying glass to read them. At least they give the option for larger UI font sizes in Photoshop, but not in dreamweaver - as far as I can see.
This was one of the reasons I abandoned dreamweaver after version 8 (Macromedia).
Adobe really needs to sort this problem out for different screen sizes and accessibility. Even freeware authors get it right.

I agree, but it is not only DW that is a problem, most of the applications that I use, including this forum, have the same problem.
My solution, I wear a pair of IT-glasses, sort of like reading glasses that have been further refined for the screen.
My solution prior to that is as follows
Right-click on the desktop
Select "Screen Resolution"
In the Screen Resolution dialog, there are 3 options in the lower center.
Click "Make text and other items larger or smaller"
Chose one of the 3 pre-set sizes <OR>
In the left column, click "Set Custom text size (DPI)"
Then scale the ruler until the text size suits your needs.
This had the unfortunate consequence of reducing the workspace, hence my glasses.

How do I change font size from points into pixels?

I used to be able to set font size in points but CS 6 has removed this? Please dont say that points = pixels. They do not. See for yourself. A photoshop doc and an Indesign doc have the same pixel size. A 20 point character "A" in InDesign, will be larger than a 20 pixel character "A" in photoshop. This creates hours of extra work when translating text heavy InDesign documents into Photoshop PSDs. Is there any workaround? Help!

Ok, I know why you dont understand my question. I should have said, that points in InDesign do not equal pixels in HTML (and I should have left Photoshop out of it).
My problem is going directly from InDesign to HTML CSS code. I used to be able to look at the type in my layout sketch in InDesign, select pixels in the units preferences and (assuming I am using the same webfont thanks to google fonts and the @fontface style) the font size would match exactly when I view the webpage in a browser. But now, when I try to code my webpage fonts in pixels, using the value from InDesign's points, fonts sizes dont match when viewed in borwser. This may seem like I am splitting hairs to you but it makes a big difference if I can just look at my InDesign sketch and see the excact size of the type without having to export a tracing/guide image and try to match visually. It just worked when I could see font size in pixles in InDesign in CS 5.5 but does not work in CS 6.
Try a test: make a div in webpage with same pixel size as an InDeisgn doc. Use a defualt font like helvetic that is aval. to both InDesign and your browser. A 20 point word will not match a 20 pixel word in the same font.
Also: I believe I rulled out any font replacment issues. For my designes, I am using the same font in both the InDesign doc and webpage code. I am using google fonts (donloaded for indesign and "link href" in head of code on webpage and/or using the @fontface style).

SSRS:: Converting font size from px to pt

Hi All,
If I have the following HTML:
Test Test TestTest Test Test
I want to multiple the font-size with 0.75 to convert it from px to pt.
12px--> 12*0.75 pt
25px--> 25*0.75 pt
How can I convert it to the following using expression?
Test Test TestTest Test Test
Thank you,

Hi Ghada,
According to yourdescription, you want to convert the px into pt in HTML tags. Right?
Based on my knowledge, HTML tags can't support calculation like 12*0.75 to specify value for a properties. So you may need to directly put "9pt" into HTML tags. Since this forum is only for SQL Server Reporting Services, we suggest you post this
thread on a HTML CSS forum.

How to change the font size from tabs ???

Hi
I found a tip to change the CSS in the apache directory in the forum here.
but i can´t find the directory on my hard disk/oracle directory
i got this version installed:
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
can i change the font size of tabs/regions etc in any other way??

Hi,
The font size is defined by the style class used for the tab cells (tabs are normally created as cells in a table).
To do this, the simplest solution may be to edit the page template:
1 - Go to Shared Components/Templates
2 - Select the page template(s) that you are using (you will have to do this for each template that you've used that uses tabs)
3 - Scroll down to "Standard Tab Attributes" - you'll see two sections: Current Tab and Non Current Standard Tab.
In Current Tab, you'll have something like:
<a href="#TAB_LINK#" class="t12standardtabcurrent">#TAB_LABEL#</a>
In Non Current Standard Tab, you'll have something like:
<a href="#TAB_LINK#" class="t12standardtabnoncurrent">#TAB_LABEL#</a>
After the class="...." attribute add in style="font-size:12px" (use whatever px value you want)
4 - You should repeat the process for Current Parent Tab and Non Current Parent Tab as these contain the same settings
5 - Apply your changes
Regards
Andy

The font size in the iOS 7 slim bar is too small, can i increase it?

The font size in the iOS 7 slim bar is too small (clock, battery status etc), can i increase it?

same complaint here
but under Accessability you can select Bold type. it helps a little to make it more readable, but it's surprising that Apple's built-in apps, like Weather, do not use Dynamic font size font and icons are way too faint and small now.
Apple sticks to all or nothing too often and then markets the heck out if it to brainwash people into thinking it's better.
Ive's sense of stripped down asthetics gets in the way of actual usability too often. hope someone steps in before the iphone is reduced to 1 softbutton that just does whatever apple wants it to do regardless of what the customer needs to accomplish...

MacBook Air Hard Drive too small - can I run applications from an external drive or is there a better solution?

I just got a MacBook Air 11" 10.7.2 2GB/64GB. I love it, but the internal drive is sooo small. Occasionally I need to take projects home from work or travel with my computer. Is there any way to run apps (Final Cut Studio, CS5, Office 10, etc) from an external drive? I am trying to convert over from my Macbook Pro (running Snow Leopard) and I can't seem to find a solution.
Thanks for your time!
Samantha

Samantha,
It's best to keep your applications on the internal drive and consider external storeage for your data.
Your choices are direct attached storeage to the USB port (external portable USB drives), storeage on your home or work network, or cloud-based storeage, like DropBox.
You can also look at slimming down your OSX installation on your MBA by removing unwanted fonts and printer drivers.
Btw, you will struggle to run CS5 and Final Cut Studio on a MBA with 2GB RAM. Only install the applications you really need on your MBA.
Can I ask which model MacBook Pro you are migrating from?

Font in call list as well as individual phone details is too small. I have increased contacts but it seems impossible to increase phone caller list and individual info details of contacts ?

Is it a way to increase from iphone 5 the phone caller list and individual info details of the contacts? I can increase font for Contacts but not for the caller list nor individual info details of contacts.

No JG9, no remedy yet. Still hoping.
I'm wondering if we should ask help from RIM instead of other users, as this is obviously glitch of the device, not tips ans tricks we want to learn.

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks, but desktop has VMWare Fusion and runs Windows 7 too. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air?

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks. The laptop also runs Windows 7 via VM Ware Fusion. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air, so I can run the same plus the Windows programs on my laptop?

Thanks Kappy, but I should add that my desktop runs VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. My laptop and desktop basic operating systems are Mavericks. When I travel, I take my laptop with me. My desktop runs a Windows investment program I like, and I'd like to be able to use this program in my laptop when I'm on the road. VM Ware said I could do this, but would have to make and then transfer a "file" of the programs in question. How would this be done, since it would involve 3 files: Fusion, Windows 7 and the investment program? Maybe Apple should do this at the genius bar? Appreciate any comments...Thanks again, Patrick

My MACBook Pro has been stolen. Is there any possibility to know the MAC Address from serail number? If I well understood the MAC address can not be changed and therefore the MACBook could be found if connected to Internet. Thanks for any support. Cri

My MAC Book Pro has been stolen one month ago. I would like to know if the MAC address (that should be an unique identifier of the MAC) can be found in order to trace where the computer is should it be connected to Internet. Thanks for any support on this matter! Cristina

Is it yet possible to change all global font sizes in thunderbird?

I see there are several posts about the base font sizes in thunderbird but have you actually solved this yet please?

These are the Options available to you which can increase the font size of '''everything''' in Thunderbird - Folder pane - email list etc. It is up to you which you choose to use.
'''1. Increase screen resolution'''
You have not told us what screen resolution you are using. This will effect everything you see on your desktop and all windows including Thunderbird. So if you are having an issue with the idea of using addon or creating a userChrome.css file then try this first.
Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings A high Resolution will decrease the overall size of everything. If you are finding everything on your computer including everything in Thunderbird is too small, then lower the Resolution setting to increase the over all appearance of size. It is operated using a slide bar. then click on Apply and then OK when happy with result.
'''2. Use an Addon: '''
addon will only effect Thunderbird and not other programs nor desktop.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
download the addon to your computer. then install the addon following this information:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-and-extensions-faq#w_how-do-i-install-an-add-on
'''3. create css file This only effects Thunderbird.'''
This may seem a little daunting, but it is simple. It requires you to be able to follow instructions, create folders, copy paste and save files. You do not need to actually write code.
Make Hidden files and folder visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
In Thunderbird:
* Help > Troubleshooting Information
* click on 'show folder' button
* a new window opens showing your Profile folder.
* '''Close Thunderbird now - this is important.'''
Create new folder and call it '''chrome''' note the spelling - use a lower case 'c' It should be in the same place as the 'Mail' folder.
open Notepad:
usually located under All Programs > accessories > Notepad
Copy all the text between lines below and paste it into the Notepad document.
<pre>
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
*Make all the default font sizes eg:14 px:
* { font-size: '''14px''' !important; }
</pre>
If this proves to be too small you can edit the 14px to say 16px etc
Save the document as filename '''userChrome.css''' in the '''chrome''' folder. Note the spelling all lower case except for the 'C'.
Restart Thunderbird.

Change font size in Z-Report created from template

A Z-report is being created from template which uses WWI.INI file integration to generate the report in Microsoft Word. In that report the text from phrases is passing over the specified text box. So all the phrases are not displayed.
Now user either want the size of font to decrease or change the size of the box.
We are going ahead with changing the font size. To do so we are editing the template in CG42. Is this approach is correct or we can change the font size from somewhere else??. If yes ,then how to proceed ??
Your help will be greatly appreciated as I am new to EHS and have very limited knowledge.

Hello Aasim,
Just try it out
If you are afraid to destroy something on the WWI template create a copy of the template and do your testing there....
Read the SAP help on WWI.
Can I edit font in the Microsoft Word file which is generated after I click "Document (F7)" button??
Yes you can.
If yes , then suppose I change the font size in a text box there.Does the font of phrase's text also changes accordingly when the report is generated.
Yes.
And does that change is for all the phrases in that text box ( since no. of phrases varies according to the specification)???
Yes it will change the font size for all phrases in that text box.
There is an option in WWI where you can change the text size dynamically if the text is in a real text box.
However I'm currently not sure if this works for all kind of WWI templates or only for labels.
Hope this helps
Mark
