On firefox, netzero mail page font too small, aol ok. How do I change font to bigger so I can read mail?

A couple of days ago, I was using Firefox and reading my email on Netzero.com when the letters suddenly went to very very small and I have trouble reading my email. I switched to the email on AOL.com and the letters were of normal size as usual. Netzero says I should open Mozilla Firefox to click "tools", "options", "content", to fix the font size. But when I click the brown "Firefox" window, I do not see any of the items Netzero says to click. Do you have any suggestions as to what Netzero is talking about or how I can increase the size of the print so I can read my email on Netzero while I am using Firefox?

Not an ideal solution, but some users change the setting in: System Preferences>Displays, select the Scaled button and choose another resolution.
If you are within 14 days of purchased you can return the computer for a refund if you dislike it that much as Apple do have a good returns policy (so long as you purchased from Apple and not a reseller).

Prints too small can't read it

I have the HP Officejet 6500A when I print something it is too small to read. I downloaded a new driver that said it would fix it but it didn't. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
You can change font sizes and/or increase/decrease (%) when print from application. Which application do you print from ? Or from a web browser ?
Regards.

Gmail fonts too small, hard to read but are fine using Chrome

I recently downloaded Firefox 4 because Chrome has been really slow and crashing a lot. But when I opened Gmail, all the fonts display very small (too small for comfortable viewing) and after trying to tweak preferences, clear cache and cookies, nothing has worked. If I can't fix this I'm going to have to go to a new browser. I tried the no minimum font size setting, but it was already set to "none"
I can send a screen shot if that will help.

Yosemite fonts too small for middle aged eyes

I just updated my desktop to Yosemite and am wishing I hadn't - the designers clearly don't have a clue what happens to normal eyesight in middle age. I am NOT vision impaired - just a little bit short-sighted (-1.5) and a little bit long-sighted (+1) and a little bit astigmatic, with up-to-date glasses that correct my sight properly. I am nonetheless finding using this new OS on my new 1920x1080 (non-Apple) monitor, which worked perfectly with Mavericks, absolute torture - all the text in menus, settings screens etc is just much too small for comfort, at least in the chosen font. In some apps I can use Cmd-+ to increase the font size, but there seems to be nothing I can do about the font sizes in Finder, Preferences etc
I have read the threads about the reasons and ways to mitigate the problem, and have increased contrast and reduced transparency in the Accessibility settings, and am considering running the script to change the default font back to Lucida Grande. But my point is that I have perfectly normal eyesight (for someone of 53) and have never had any screen problems before, so I shouldn't need to be using the Accessibility settings. I know it is fashionable among designers to create lots of blank white space, but white space doesn't compensate for illegibility!
I can see from all the threads on this topic that I am not alone. So please Apple, sort this out - usability must come first - and not just for the under 30s!

Even iBooks on MBP Retina !?
I love the iBooks app and use it specifically because of the "Night" appearance option, which turns the page background all black and the font white (similar to inverting the display). Fortunately books' font sizes remain adjustable as big as I want, but - I can no longer see page information (current page number and number of pages left to read) at the bottom of each page. The page information is barely visible (appears like small dark grey foggy font on a black background). This is very likely also the result of the Yosemite font fiasco. Not an issue when reading books in "Night" appearance on the iPad, (they didn't break it yet yet in iOS).
"Digital Books without page numbering information"!
A Huge design fiasco.

Calendar event font too small

New events I create in calendar have a font too small to read. How do you change the front size?

I'm having the same issue. Did you get an answer? Seems that calendar entries created within Outlook on my laptop are fine, but entries created on my iPhone have a very tiny font. changing default font in "Settings - Display and Brightness" does not help. Thanks.

I was rubbing my keys and screwed up my font setting. i don't know how to reset the font to original mozilla setting

i was rubbing my laptop keys. i must have hit the right key sequence to change the font setting. i don't know how to reset the font. i was in mozilla at the time, so only it was affected. IE still uses the correct webpage fonts. IE has a reset on their browser, does firefox?

Have you tried closing Firefox and visiting the site again without restoring your session? This will bypass any temporary changes.
If the problem is the font size, you can reset the zoom level:
View menu > Zoom > Reset
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar where you will find the View menu.
If that doesn't help, can you describe what's different in more detail?

I was using Firefox on a website and all of a sudden everything changed to such small font that I can hardly read it. Any suggestions as to how I can change the size of the font?Ray Fowler

While using Firefox the font size automatically changed to so small I can hardly read it. How do I change the font size in Mozilla Firefox?

ICal fonts too small to read

I tried using iCal for the first time.
I can't read the fonts on my 30" monitor without strong magnification. No one here can read the fonts easily, even those with excellent eyesight.
How can I enlarge the fonts without using the Universal Access magnification, which makes everything unsharp and gives me a headache?
Thanks,
BTW, when I enlarge the fonts for these forums, the lines run into each other. Can that be fixed? Or is that a problem with the site?
I use Safari.
Thanks again,
Mark B Anstendig

I appreciate the help.
Unfortunately, changing resolutions on LCD is about the same, unsharpnesswise, as using the zoom feature in Universal access.
The ability to choose font size, font color, etc., was available in ODS 9 and previous, and should be available to us as a part of the system.
That it isn't and that, with typical native resolutions for LCDs fonts and all detail size is seen at about half WYSIWYG (half the printed-out size) is a huge fault of the Apple OS.
We are stuck with too small fonts and details in too many applications, windows, toolbars, etc.
I need to enlarge the fonts in iCal, without messing anything up like Universal access does. Otherwise, I cannot use it, nor can many people i know. Ity is that simple!
Any real solutions, not makeshift attempts at trying to help.
Thanks again,
Mark B Anstendig

N80 Fonts too small to read

Does anyone know how to increase the size of the fonts so that things like phone numbers from phone book and text messages can be read by anyone ove the age of 30.
The text size on my N80 is about half the size of newspaper fonts and having a blue background makes it even more difficult to read

In the past the answer was always that changing font size wasn't possible and your only option was to choose a theme with high contrast.
I did see a couple of threads on here a week or so back about a 3rd party app that did apparently helped. Don't think the thread related to N80s specifically, but the app might work on there, too.
Could be worth a quick search (top right of this page).Message Edited by patc on 14-Jun-200704:20 PM

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...

One web site lettering is too small to read. how do I enlarge it?

I have a new Toshiba Satellite with incoveinent touch pad that my left hand seems to rest on while I am typing. While trying to learn a new Blackboard sight, the type suddenly began to shrink too small to read. I have logged off, shut down and searched for a way to enlarge, but have not found solution. I need this sight to be readable for 2 courses that started yesterday.

Reset the zoom level for that domain, see this:

The middle section of my Firefox screen has small fonts. The left side has big fonts. I can't read my emails because the content is small

So when I click on contacts to add to an email they are very small, as well as the delte, next, move buttons. All the middle section of the screen. Left side is OK.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
