Font Size in iTunes for iTunes 9

Roughly this question is frequently posted, but I've not found an answer for iTunes 9.
Like many others, I need to increase the font size in the iTune display (of track names, artists, etc.), and the large setting in the iTunes preferences doesn't increase it enough for me to read it comfortably.
1. Is there by now an easy fix for this?
2. If not, what file would I need to edit and what changes would I need to make in it (backing it up and using an editor like emacs or the like)? I only need to change font size? -- Thanks, CS

If, after changing the iTunes font size to "large", it still isn't big enough for you, you can increase it further by using my free iTunes font-size editor. You can download it here:
http://www.pobox.com/~teridon/ituneshacks/index.html
The editor works by making changes to an iTunes font resource file. It makes backups of the file, in case something goes wrong (never happened, as far as I know...).
NOTE: Changing the Font resource file requires Administrator privileges, or write permission to the C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\en.lproj directory.
The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional).
HTH,

Set-up custom font, font size, and color for writing new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird

I know that I can select the font, size, and color for writing each new and reply e-mails in Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to do this each time. I want to set-up the default font, size, and color for all new and reply e-mails. It already comes up with a default one, but I want to change it, but can't figure out how to do this. I'm sure it is quite simple, but I don't know how to do this. Thank you in advance for help.

Tools > Options > Display > Formatting tab
Default font: select font
Select size : eg; 14
Click on 'Advanced' button and set all the sizes to 14
Select : 'allow messages to use other fonts'
click on OK
Click on 'Composition'
Under the 'General' tab
Suggest you set HTML font to 'Variable width' and Size : 'Medium'
Select the 'Text colour' you would like to compose email using
Select the 'Background colour' you would like to use when composing emails.
click on OK to save all changes.
This will set the display email list to the selected font.
It will allow received emails to use the font the sender used.
When you compose an email it will also use the same font settings.
The message 'Display' settings in the above section also apply to messages that you compose. The settings are not sent, so they do not affect how your messages appear to recipients.
The settings in the ''Composition' section can affect how messages are sent. If you make unusual choices, then people who receive messages from you might find them difficult or impossible to read. Hence, why I suggest you leave it as 'Variable width' and allow the 'Display' settings to set the default used for composing emails.

Apple Mail font size too small for father

My father just purchased a iMac with Mountain Lion OS and a 27 inch screen.
My father needs to be able to read the text of the AppleMail window.
We have increased the size of the fonts to 18 to make it easy for him to see what he is typing in the email editing window, however, none of the other display fonts in AppleMail increase.
The increase in font size is intended by Apple to provide an Accomodation to provide Equal Access for those with Sight Disabilities to the Essential Functions of use, however, this intent appears to have failed within AppleMail.
Would a different mail reader (gmail, etc) provide this font sizing ability?
Requested Remedy:
Provide the ability to increase font size for all of the AppleMail display.

'Preferences' doesn't solve the problem, since it only alters the font size of text for a single message, and doesn't alter the Mailbox Pane or Message Panes.
The Mailbox Pane is enlarged outside Mail, using the System Preference's 'General' setting for Sidebar Icon size - this also alters sidebar text size.
And the Message List is enlarged most easily by a Terminal command
- it's only a single line, cut'n'paste:
defaults write com.apple.mail RichMessageList -bool FALSE
Then restart Mail and adjust its column sizes for the newly enlarged fonts.
This thread gives a full discussion of this solution and its clumsier alternatives:

How to change font size of lyrics in iTunes

I pasted Arabic lyrics onto the Lyrics tab of a song. However, the font is too small to read easily.
Can someone please tell me how to change lyrics font size?

See if either of these provide help:

Font size too large on itunes summary page . Half the words are cut off.

How to change font size on the itunes summary page? Currently font size is too large resulting in sentences being cut off.

Did you increase the minimum font size?
If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > Minimum Font Size
Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Why is the Photoshop font size extremely small for their navigation menus and tools?

Why is the font size for the Photoshop Cloud navigation menus and tools displaying extremely small on my laptop? I can barely see them. The other Adobe Cloud applications don't display small.

Is a readable interface an unreasonable expectation?
Not at all, and we should well expect that Adobe is working on it. By their own admission they ARE working on it. I don't sense "deafening silence" at all. But results won't/can't be instantaneous and they're not going to promise you release dates. Life is not like that, no matter how many times you click your red shoes together.
It's not hard to understand that right now only a small minority of Photoshop users are running high dpi screens that can't take advantage of the 200% setting. And it was the choice of those users to buy such hardware even in light of the fact that Photoshop can't work fully well on it yet. Adobe didn't force anyone to buy a 150 ppi display.
Frankly, if you've chosen such hardware even though Photoshop doesn't offer 150% scaling, it's your own fault. I recently invested well over $1000 in a new monitor and I planned well enough ahead to buy a 100ppi model (Dell U3014, and it's GREAT). There's a reason that very new technology is called "bleeding edge". If you want "To Work" instead of "Dealing With Quirks", sometimes you have to be conservative.
A majority of Photoshop users DO expect new and useful features, however, such as new tools, new camera support in Camera Raw, etc., so Adobe understandably cannot dedicate every resource they have to revamping Photoshop's user interface just for a special few folks who have irresponsibly adopted new display technology.
We can debate all day how much Adobe ought to be spending on engineering development, but you and I don't run the company. We don't make business decisions for them. I do, however, claim to understand their capabilities and limitations - possibly better than most - because I'm in the same business.
I can only recommend you be patient. One day Photoshop will respond to your desktop settings.
What the heck has anybody ever accomplished here, with Adobe, in either fashion?
Rhetorical or not, some quite tangible things do come to mind...
At one time I couldn’t paste my clipboard containing a grayscale image into a new document via an action assigned to a key; the color engine would crash. Today I can do so without incident.
At one time multiple Help windows would pop up unexpectedly, often when working in the Styles panel. Today they don’t.
At one time I had to select Basic GPU mode. Today I use Advanced GPU mode without a problem.
Once running Liquify or Smart Sharpen or a number of other things were slow, especially on big images. Now they're quite fast, with GPU acceleration.
At one time an action could not write data back to a document when in windowed mode. Today it works.
At one time panorama stitching and focus stacking did not work. Now it works.
At one time most filters only worked on 8 bits/channel data. Now many of them can handle 16 bits/channel.
Once naysayers predicted that the Photoshop Photography bundle would shoot up in price. Yet today it's still $9.99 a month.
Once it was impossible to read Photoshop's UI on a 200+ ppi screen. Now there's a new 200% setting for that.
I'm sure I can think of other things. And of course the software isn't perfect today. It never will be absolutely perfect.
Station_two, are you keeping up with the latest Photoshop releases? If not, I submit that your rhetoric may be falling out of date.

How to Control Defualt Styles(Font,Size,BG Color) for WPC Objects

Hi All,
This is Ganesh, Current i am working on Content Migration Using WPC.Now My Question, while we are creating the Site Content using WPC(Like Articles, Paragraph's, etc...), while we are typing the content for Article, its showing in one font, after creation of article,while we are previewing of the Article , its showing in Blue Color Letter's and Shade Blue back ground and also Coming font big in size.
If i am creating the paragraph, while we are previewing the its Displaying in Black Color.
From where the details of font, size and back ground colors are coming in WPC objects.and if they have to modified, how can it be done?
Where We can Control the Default Styles for WPC Content Creation Objects.If Possible how to modify?
Please provide some valuble inputs for my Query???
Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

Ganesh,
You are absolutely right. If you modify the xml, xsl and css files supplied by the standard SAP it will affect all the users. Please note that whenever you need to modify the css, you need to do the same in /etc/wpceditor/css/runtime folder. Modification of the css in /etc/wpceditor/css/designtime folder is not of any use.
If you do not want the changes made to the style to affect all other users, it is always wiser and recommended to create your own custom webform. Some webforms like Article, Link List, banner, teaser etc are provided by SAP. If you want to create your own webform and apply the style to that webform alone then you need to follow the process of creating custom webforms in WPC.
In order to change the style you need to understand a bit of XML and XSL transformation.
You can refer to the following sdn help for the same - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/599b78b0aa3bdde10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
Hope it helps. Let me know if you need any further clarification.

24pt Font Size Tab Text for JTabbedPane

I'm creating an app for use with Touchscreens and need to make the buttons and such, large enough to fit the tip of a finger.
I'm having trouble with the JTabbedPane font size and am having trouble finding a way to make the text in the tab larger.
Same issue with text in a border. Just for looks but would be nice.
And the text in the window title.
I've searched the forums and the tutorials but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Stone

Hi,
the text in the window's title is managed by the underlying OS. So, I guess there is no possibility to influence this text. Except you change the display properties of the OS on this computer that runs your app.

Cannot change font, size or anything for typewriter tool

Hello all,
I am having an issue with the typewriter tool. I cannot seem to change my font on about 95% of my PDFs? Every once in awhile I am able to change the font and size. But I cannot find a consistancy and cannot figure out the issue? When I want to write on the PDFs to change size or font, it won't allow me to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lorne

I believe I have good news for all who have this trouble. It's been annoying since day one.
I accidentally discovered that by setting your cursor just off the edges of the document and begin your typing, the font properties always remain easily available!
Once you have created a typed message (any number of characters is okay), you can then drag the filled-in Typewriter Text Box to any location on the document; and you can continue to edit, at will!
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had less than 05% font selection success when I type directly on/in the document.
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had 100% font selection success by starting my typing in this space just off the document surface. Once finished typing, I just drag the box to the document surface. I hope this works for you, too!
See image. To enlage this image, press your Ctrl key and scroll. Good luck!

The tool bar is missing for font,size and color for lettering in elements 9

Iam missing tool bar for font, style and size and color. where is it?

Are you sure you have the regular horizontal or vertical type tool and not one of the type masks selected? If you choose the type mask tools you see a dotted outline around the T icon instead of a solid T.

How do I increase the font size on Mozilla--for everything including home page and all my emails?

I think I have asked the question as best I can. On Internet Explorer, I could click on the lower right and change from 100% to 150%.
Given my eyesight, this change would be enormously helpful.

Hi dsbloom65,
You can try using [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-zoom Zoom]. This will increase/decrease the size of everything on the page. You can try hitting ''CTRL and +'' a few times to try it out. ''CTRL and 0'' will return it to normal size.
If that isn't what you are looking for you, you might want to look into some of the [[Accessibility]] options. There is lots of good information in that article.
Hopefully this helps!

Default font, size and color for email

I would dearly enjoy having the same font, of my choice, appear on each e-mail that I type, without having to reset each time. Specifically, Times Roman, Bold Italic, 20, Blue. When I set this for any one outgoing mail, it is gone the next time, and often even before I begin to type. Given the astounding capabilities of OS X, I would think that the mail program could be tweaked to achieve this, but my ProCare Creative at the local Apple Store says, "Not possible".
Can anyone offer me hope?

I'll cross fingers that Leopard will allow
user to set a chosen default font for e-mails.
Leopard has lots of templates:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/features/mail.html
I think "that other computer" allows it.
Nothing to do with the "computer." Different apps have different features. Here's one list of other mail apps for Mac:

Adjusting UI Font Size or Colors for a Legally Blind User

I just purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 13, and am having a bit of an issue seeing some of the things in the UI. I am legally blind, but see well enough for most things. However, the fonts on my installation seem to be quite small, and the light gray background with dark fonts is a bit difficult for me to see. I'm hoping there is a way to adjust these settings, I've looked through the preferences but did not see anything that would let me adjust these types of things. Is there any way to make fonts bigger, or at least change colors of the UI? I'm comfortable with editing hidden settings, or even the registry if I must.

I doubt if it will give an immediate fix to the issue, but you could file an Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form asking for the type of user interface control that you seek.
The link is not available at the moment. I will post it as soon as it is if you are interested in it. Or you can do a Google Search for Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form.
In Premiere Elements 4, 7, and 8.0/8.0.1, there was an Edit Menu/Preferences/User Interface choice which essentially dealt with brightness control for the User Interface.
Version 4
Version 7
Version 8.0/8.0.1
In versions 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11, 12, and 13, this preference is gone.

Can the font size in Itunes Help files be increased? The font size is way to small to... 4pt!

Itumes for Windows 10.6
Windows 7 x 64
Is there a way to increase the font size displayed in the Itunes Help files? The size seems to be < 4pt and very difficult to read. Please advise.

Sometimes this can be altered by going inside the "plist" for the project and making specific changes. It is beyond my scope, but someone on these forums should be talented enough to suss it out.

Maximum font size for auto-sized form text

You need to let the user select a maximum font size for automatically sized text. If most of your fields are set at 10pt type, but you have one field for which you want the text to resize automatically, it looks stupid if that cell contains a small amount of text that’s set at 16pt or whatever. If you could set the maximum font size to 10pt for that field, then the text would be consistent with the text in the other fields unless there is so much text that it needs to scale down.

Can anyone please advise?
Cheers
