Font size - poss to alter?

Hi All,
Sometimes (surprisingly frequently, actually!) it's neccessary to read a phone number from the contacts list, e.g. to pass it on verbally. The font used for the actual numbers, coupled with it's size, make these pretty much unreadable even with pretty decent eyesight! The only way I can do it is by going in to edit mode which gives a clearer and larger font on a white background in the edit box. It would be far too much faff (and battery drain!!) to switch to the light overall background.
Is there a way of changing font size in Contacts? Can't find anything in the user guide.
While I'm on, is there a way of just sending a Contact as a business card, rather than the long winded copy-and-paste then into Messaging and send a text?
Cheers!

I have been searching high and low for the answer to change font, but no avail. When I decided to get NOKIA / MS combined phone, I did not expect this kind of problem at all. Change font is very basic feature for any phone with such a small screen, and wider range of users having a problem with small font is not a new. Why this feature is missed out? Design with Half-hearted? or don't care about customer need? Then they are on the way to extinct like dinosaurs....
There are many common features not in the phone too...
and there are not much info when they will rectify.. or any remedy at all..
Please someone enlighten us

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.

Increasing marquee font size alters right margin

I inherited a web site. I added a marquee that scrolls under the main photo. It works perfeclty if I just add the marquee tag.
However, the web owners want the font size larger and bold. When I add the size= tag and go with a 6, the page gets twice as wide as without the size tag.
I'm using DW 6 and working in the split mode between code\live so I make my edit on the code side and tab over to the live side and WHAM, my right margin doubles.
any ideas?
My marquee works fine with a default marquee tag...I just need to increase the font size.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Styles belong inside your CSS, not your HTML code. Copy & paste this into a new, blank document. SaveAs test.html.
<!doctype html>

New to apple, question about font sizes on show bookmarks pages

Former windows user, trying to get used to this beautiful new imac! When I am on the safari page, in the show all bookmarks page, the font is so small, and buttons to increase the size are disabled on the page! I know there must be a way to make the print bigger but how?
Thanks to all.. I think I'm learning more from reading these forums than with all the help pages.

Very sound advice (as always) Barry.
I (very briefly) considered offering the Terminal/Defaults route, but thought that Safari Enhancer was the lesser of two evils. Safari Enh does not need to be kept running after changes (like the bookmark font size) are made. & I believe most of it's functions within Safari are made by simply altering the plist file - so getting back a default configuration is very simple.... just reset safari.
keveliz : Barry's is good advice. I wouldn't put safari enhancer in the " ...here be dragons" or 'addicted to haxies' class myself... because it's just a program that you run & close afterwards - it doesn't carry on, (possibly) brewing trouble in the background.
I haven't been using Apples even a year now - but pc's & 6502 / 6800 & onwards micros since err, 1980..... & fwiw I personally think safari-enh is much safer than most 3rd party fixers ( which isn't saying much! - so Yep, I'd recommend it based on my usage )- there's good support, a useful discussions forum; although previous versions ( presumably sorted now?) could be annoying due to setting non-std options that you hadn't specifically checked - a problem if you're just starting & you wouldn't know what was a default setting & what wasn't.
None of which is intended to disagree with Barry's note of caution - be careful out there.

How to change font size for tracks in Songs view, iTunes 11?

I'm wondering which field in TextStyles.plist for the new iTunes 11 (I've gotten rid of Helvetica for Lucida Grande thanks to another forum on here!) - controls the font size for track title, time, artist, album, etc. as seen here - I would like to have it smaller, and have been playing around on several forums and not found the magical field to get that exact thing smaller. Many thanks in advance.

You're going to love me forever:
<key>9002</key>
<dict>
<key>- loc hint -</key>
<string>List Contents (Small)</string>
<key>font</key>
<string>HelveticaNeue</string>
<key>size</key>
<integer>12</integer>
</dict>
It's that interger "12" that's determines the size. Adjust it until you're happy—provided that it's an interger.
I actually go with "HelveticaNeue" with a size of 11. I like to see lots of tabular information at once, horizontally, without changing my resolution… within reason, e.g. Fiona Apple album titles still have ellipses.
An unfortunate aspect to this is that the row height isn't altered unless the font size specified is greater than 12—the font takes the row height along for the ride when it's bigger, but the row doesn't come along for the ride when the font gets smaller. It's likely you could change the minimum row height to be lower, in some other plist—search for something like "list contents (small)" or "list (small)" or whatever—but I don't know where that would be found, or if it could be found at all.
Nonetheless, this should address your query.

Can no longer edit/adjust presenter note font sizes etc

In a large presentation (meaning I don't wish to start over) I can now no longer edit the presenter fonts, in terms of size or other font related changes - either via the format bar, font window or toolbar icons...
All options appear grayed out or unselectable...
The reason I wished to alter font sizes is something occurred which in fact changed all the default sizes (from 22 down to an unreadable 12) in my presenter notes.
Adding new slides retains the editable presenter notes...but quickly these seem to end up ultimately changing to the smaller uneditable font scenario.
Help!

I was just searching for this problem myself... here is my experience:
In order to change presenter note fonts I need to open the font box (format/font/show fonts)... the problem is that things go screwy when I change presenter notes size... the cpu starts maxing out, keynote snails along.. I have to quit/restart. Bug city.?
There is definitely some disconnect between these notes fonts and the rest of the keynote program!
The ability to easily change these notes size is important for me but I'm hesitant to keep trying...
ps: choosing font/format/show fonts is the same as using the toolbar A icon - the format bar fonts don't work for presenter notes.

9 Pro Extended: How to get Typewriter Font & Font Size menus?

I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows/XP/SP3.
I use the Typewriter Tool quite frequently to insert text into a document.
I have the Typewrite Toolbar enabled and it is docked with my other toolbars.
When I want to insert text I click the typewriter icon on the toolbar.
My mouse pointer changes to a vertical bar with an A next to it.
I move to the insertion point and left click which leaves a vertical bar positioned at the insertion point.
Most of the time the Typewriter Toolbar is then 'opened' so that I can change the font or the font size.
But sometimes when I click, those parts of the Typewriter Toolbar stay grayed out.
The five icons between the typewriter icon and the drop down menus for font and font size are
also grayed out. I've tried a number of things to try to make those items available but have
never been able to figure out something that works. I can insert text. I just can't alter
the characteristics of the text.
Any ideas why the font and font size menus stay grayed out in the Typewriter Toolbar?
Thanks!

There is no way in PSE to change the font size of menu options in Photoshop Elements. You can try changing the resolution of your monitor.

This should NOT work! The UI elements should safe encode all input values - thereby eliminating the value of any HTML tags. If you system isn't doing this already then it is a bug and if you rely on such a thing it will stop working at some point in the future.
You are basically restricted to different values available via the design parameter. The overall font sizes come from the underlying themes and the client applications (browser or NetWeaver Business Client) that host the Web Dynpro Application. Therefore no direct specification of the font size is possible in order to stay within the controls of theme. If you don't like any of the designs available, you might consider altering the Portal Theme you are using - but that is a rather drastic approach.

Problem with font size, not showing up as expected.

I've been wrestling with this for a few weeks now, but surely must be getting closer to having it resolved. It's just a problem with font size on just this one page.
http://www.kgngroup.net/logos_and_packaging.html
I want the body text to be 10px, but after two weeks, have played with every conceivable way, altering body font size in CSS and in the document itself. I've viewing it in Safari but others on Windows machines tell me that it is out of whack also.
My main problem is that I can change the font size to extremes but it still shows up as the same size in the browser (about 12px.) I know changes can be made because I can modify the wording and that does change online. It's just a problem with the font size. Oh, and in the third column, the one to the right, in Dreamweaver, the font looks like it is miniscule, cannot even be read, but in the browser, since the style11 is applied, all three columns look equal size.
Not sure where to go from here. I just want to get the body font down to 10 pixels.
TIA,
Ken

What would really help you in diagnosing issues such as this is to install the Firebug add-in for Firefox (as suggested in the earlier thread).
Firebug shows you visually what CSS rules apply to whatever element you click on the screen.
In this case, you have a confusion of CSS font sizes cascading on top of each other and that's confused again by mixing units for no real reason. .style11 is unnecessarily applied to lots of individual <p> tags. Remove those classes and delete the rule.
e.g.
The tiny font in the RHS column is affected first by
.style8 {
font-size: 0.5em;
affecting the <td> then by
.style11 {font-size: 75%}
affecting the <p> tag.
End result = tiny text (approx 2px).
In these cases of mass confusion, my approach is to strip out all font sizing from the CSS and start over.
Avoid %. Use px.
Apply font sizing rules logically starting from the <body> tag downwards.
That'll give you a solid baseline without weird effects.
Ah, I find your answer worth repeating.
Very cool that you have diagnosed so well and spelled it out here.
I will get the Firefox add-on you mention, plus, print out this response and follow it like a recipe.
It makes perfect sense and you have saved me from the 'clutter' of being wound up in too many directions with this because I could not make all of the connections that you have done here. I appreciate your help very much.
Thank You,

How to change system font size in mountain lion

Have they came out with a patch to adjust system wide font sizes?

Have they came out with a patch to adjust system wide font sizes?
Not to my knowledge. One way of changing the size of the text is to alter the resolution. Admittedly it's a less than perfect solution but many on here seem to manage with it.
System Preferences>Displays - click on Scaled and select another resolution.

PFD's -- can 'font size' and 'page formatting' be user-controlled?

Can the *font size* and *page formatting* -- including *page size* -- of a PDF document be altered for printouts?
Also, does this vary from one PDF reader to another, or is it pretty much standard?
Thanks.

Texas Mac Man wrote:
Can you explain why you want to do this? There may be a solution.
One reason is that many PDF's print in a larger font than I would like. I was imagining having control of the page layout and appearance the way you do in most situations, and wondering whether PDF's could be similarly controlled by the user -- at least in those respects (I know they are not designed to be 'edited').

Photoshop CS3 font size of "label" and "description" of printed file

How do you change and manage the font size of the "label" and "description" ( "file" > "file info" > "description")that you can opt to have printed above and below your photo?
After typing in the "description" via "file info", you click on "print" and check off the "label" and "description" options.
I'm using a Dell PC and an Epson CX3810.
My instructor says that he's not been able to find out how to manage the font option.
Thanks

As a messy workaround you could put a simple string indicator ("classic Controls") on every tab over the page labels and change the text style/size etc. to your liking. Trouble is - the bound of the string indicator resizes while increasing the size of the text. As "size to text" doesn't work here maybe you can get the appropriate size from somewhere else. Document Bounds is not it, as I just found out. Possibly you should just use a free label, but I don't know whether their text is settable at runtime and their background can be altered.
However - I think, you get the idea. Maybe it's worth 30 min testing...

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.

Have been using Thunderbird for years..can someone please--please--please-tell me when I can change font sizes numerically???

I have been using Thunderbird for ages and just love the way it works. However, is there any possibility that the ability to alter font size from '10' to '12' instead of 'bigger or smaller' be available??
It would be awesome to be able to do that.
Thanks for your time in advance

Numerical font size change is not a choice using Thunderbird. You can open a new "write mail" an increase font size by choosing the first and second "A" in the body line directly below the subject line. You have to be in the body of the letter to make this available. Also, in tools, options, composition, general, HTML you can set both color and font size with choices from xx small to xx large (by default), and then increase the default font size as stated above. As always, remember to click apply or OK when making these changes.
