Font size recommendations?

Are there any de facto rules for text size using Breeze
Presenter? I've always heard of using a minimum font size of 20 for
PowerPoint presentations projected in a classroom, but has a
similar rule of thumb emerged for Breeze Presenter?

Thanks for the reply Hannu.
I would like to be able to point to research, recommended
best practices, or at least feedback from other forum participants
to justify what at some times seem to be arbitrary decisions (based
my own eyesight, reading ability, monitor setup, screen resolution,
etc.)
If anyone else has input, it would be appreciated.
thanks,
Sue

Print Module - Set Explicit Font Sizes

In the Print Module Identity Plate can Lightroom set font size explicitly instead of using only a % scale factor?
The scale factor is a great idea but it would be a lot more convenient at times to set the font size explicitly to 10 or 12 or whatever so it could carry over to other titles if you want all your titles to print in a specific font size (e.g. 12 points). That's already possible with Vibrance, Recovery and a host of other settings (including the Identity Plate scale factor itself!) and it's very valuable to be able to have those exacting controls.
Thanks,
Robert

Ian,
I'd be very pleased if I'm doing something wrong. From what I see the Identity Plate supports only one font size, and only for the most recent photo. When I choose Edit and type in a new title of a different length Lightroom changes the size of the font (the longer the title, the smaller the font and vice versa). Try this:
1) Open Identity Plate and title the picture "Hello".
2) Change the title to "I just love Adobe Lightroom so very much!"
The title will be smaller. Lightroom seems to disregard the Identity Plate font size.
I just tried your recommendation and no matter how I changed the Identity Plate font size in the Print module (e.g. from 38pt to 8pt) the photo's title text size barely changes, I have to use the Scaling slider every time. That font sizing functionality only works for me in the Library module when I'm creating my actual Identity Plate.
Every time I change pictures I have to re-do this step. The way I'm dealing with this is changing the scaling factor (or with your recommendation, the font size) every time for every different-length title and/or enlarging/shrinking the title box for each photo.
As I explained in my other reply to your other post, this is very time-consuming when you're printing 50-100 titled photos in a single day/weekend (not to mention the fact that it's physically impossible to set every scaling factor so all titles print exactly the same size font).
It would be a lot better for Lightroom to automatically save all the print parameters the way it saves all other of the picture's metadata.
If you could share an easy way to make that much faster I'd be quite grateful.

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.

I have iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hi, I have the iphone 4s and just bought an ebook for ibook, trouble is the font is so tiny I can't read it and the font sizer is not working? Please help!

Hello Glittergirl68,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the function to reseize the Font in an iBook is not functioning properly.
I recommend a few things here. First close all the apps that are running in the background:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, restart the phone, and try again.
If the issue persists, I would follow these steps from the article:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
All the very best,
Sterling

Font size manipulation in Month view

I was looking for a way to increase the font size in iCal, and realised that as yet nobody at this forum has come up with a way to do it in OS X.
However, since I just saw with my own eyes the different font sizes in iCal in two different user accounts on my MacBook, a bit of detective work led to the following discovery which I hope may prove helpful:
Download and install the wonderful and free utility TinkerTool which will unlock all sorts of possibilities on your Mac. (Mr. Bresink recommends installing it in your Applications/Utilities folder.)
By increasing font sizes in TinkerTool, I find that both the list of calendar types (left column) and the date & appointment time in the Information panel (right column) become much more legible. Alas the entries in the main Calendar itself as well as in the Notes in the Information panel still make me squint... (Please forgive if I'm not using the right English terms for 'calendar types', 'information panel' or 'notes' as my OS X is in French...)
Perhaps some of you good folks could play around with TinkerTool and come up with a 'real' solution?! if so, please post back!
MacBook/G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I would strip this site back to basics by removing all font sizes in your CSS.
Then avoid %.
Re-build font sizes just using px.
Don't mix units (ems, % etc) until you have a consistent baseline and reason for doing so..
Pt is solid and reliable on paper. Px is solid and reliable on screen.

Is there a way to change the font size in the Creative Cloud user interfaces?

It would appear that there is no way to change the unbelievably small font size in the panels, menus, etc for InDesign and Illustrator. If I'm mistaken, someone... please enlighten me.
I'm a professional designer with 20/20 vision, working on an iMac 27... I shouldn't have to strain my eyes all day using Adobe programs I pay $50/mo to use. Shame on Adobe.
My system set up is perfect for every other use and program - so don't bother recommending changing my screen resolution as a work around for Adobe's poor design.
Are there any Adobe ambassadors out there who know when this will become an option? I'm guessing I'll see the standard answers that "it's on the list" or that they're famously "working on it". This should have been addressed long ago.

Mavericks After Upgrading to 10.9.2 the font size in the address/seach bar has changed to be small.

After upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 the text in the address/seach bar on Safari is a lot smaller. This is not a screen resolution issue. The fonts in Finder are larger than they were before anoying fix for this would also be nice. It is also not a screen resolution issue.
I really do not know what Apple are doing with quality control with Mavericks. The 3 month GMAIL problems have not been fixed with this upgrade and you also have a lot of font size changes accross you whole machine, within mail, finder and safari.
Any help appreciated.
Mark
Message to Apple:
Mavericks reminds me of all the old problems I had with Windows before I moved to Mac. Prior to Mavericks upgrades would not change screen resolutions, Font sizes etc. The GMAIL issue has not been fixed.
It is inconceivable to me that you could release this product which does not support basic mail functionality for one of the largest email services on the internet ie. GMAIL and then take 3-4 months and still not fixed with the 10.9.2 upgrade. What are you guys doing. The loss of productivity for people is beyond comprehension.
Can we please get a fix for GMAIL in Mavericks that actually works.

CR XI R2 pdf export font size issue

Exporting a report to PDF using Crystal XI R2 seems to be reducing the size of the fonts. When printing directly from CR and exporting to PDF and printing from the PDF viewer the font sizes are smaller. Any ideas on what I can do to correct the problem?

Please refer following SAP note:
Business Objects Notes Get Help | Close
   1220516 - Font size decreases when report is exported to PDF from Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Language   English     Version   1     Validity: 07.05.2008 - active
Edit Print View Show change log Show Internal Memos
Content:    Summary   |   Header Data   |   Other Properties
Symptom
In Crystal Reports XI and Crystal Reports XI Release 2 the font shrinks by approximately 10% when a report is exported to Adobe Acrobat Format (PDF).
Cause
This behavior is due to the way Windows and UNIX, and therefore Crystal Reports, handles low point size fonts on a low-resolution screen. Text layout in the absence of a printer driver will consistently be rendered differently than in PDF.
Crystal Reports currently shrinks the font by 10% to prevent any truncation this difference may cause.
Resolution
CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
To resolve the behavior
Set the resolution of the default printer of the local computer experiencing the issue to 1200 DPI. Most printers have a default setting of 600 DPI.
Create two registry keys to prevent the crxf_pdf.dll from decreasing in font size.
Click Start > Run. Type "regedit". The Registry Editor appears.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
Create the following keys for Crystal Reports XI Release 2 with the defined values:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal eports\Export\PDF\ForceLargerFonts
Type: DWORD
Recognized Values: 0,1
Default Value: 1
Creation Method: manual
Set both registry key values to 1 to turn them on.
In UNIX, an X server client such as x-win32 must be installed. Add the keys as follows:
Launch the X server client.
Source <bobje install>/bobje/setup using env.sh (for example: ./env.sh).
Create the registry keys as detailed above.
Restart the Report Page and Cache Servers.
====================
NOTES:
If using Windows 2003 Server, upgrade to Acrobat Reader version 8.0 or higher as well as creating the above registry keys.
Use the appropriate path to access the UNIX regedit as follows:
AIX: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/aix_rs6000/crpe/mw/bin-aix4_optimized/regedit
Sun Solaris: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-sunos5_optimized/regedit
Linux: <bobje install>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/crpe/mw/bin-linux_optimized/regedit

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,
Rob

Somyac Font Zoomer ruined my font size??

I have a nokia n8 with anna. I recently installed font zoomer 3.20 full version. From there i notice a bug (wheneven in the photo gallery the options/exit buttons are in black instead of white making them impossible to see on a black background) so i uninstalled the font zoomer app.
once uninstalled i restarted my phone only to see that my font size had shrunk. Large font was now normal size. Normal font was now small size. and small font was now extra small size. I have tried re-installing and hitting restore font size and uninstalling font zoomer at least 15 different ways with no success. Along with messing with the font settings in messaging>options>font size and messing with settings>phone>display>font size with no success. And have also did the soft battery reset of holding the top button down for 10 seconds. none of this worked.
Is there any files or something I could delete or do to fix my issue without hard resetting the phone?? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Though the Hard Reset wipes everything from the Phone memory only,you may require to re-install some of the applications that are installed on your Memory Card because the attributes if any that gets created in the Phone memory to run these gets erased too.
Most probably, re-installing the Firmware sounds a better option, though a Back-up is always recommended...

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 can I increase font size on LR windows?

I would estimate the font size in my LR (and all Adobe windows) is a five. It's the same on all three of my computers, all of which are operating on Windows 8.
The last time I raised this issue, I was told to change the screen resolution -- pretty poor workaround considering all my other apps operate at the recommended screen resolution for the three computer and one additional monitors I use.
How can I increase the font size to make Adobe applications usable on my computers?

Hi,
I also use Win 8.1 and I have a high DPI 13" screen that is at 1920x1080 resolution and it is satisfactory although small.
LR (5.7 current) will not support screens with greater resolution unless you have razor sharp eyes.
We just need to hope that the next release (6) whenever it comes has native support for high DPI screens.
