How can I increase the font size (Macbook)?

I just bought the MacAir 13.3" migrating from a Tosh 13.3" - I researched the font size issue online and called Apple Support. Funny, you must supply them with the serial number to log the call, but I couldn't read it. There doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer. I can probably get by with the browser by CTL/opt+, but email is a drag and changing the screen resolution just makes it blurry. I do music recording and so I need to have better control of font sizes in particular, as provided by Windows. If there's not a good solution, preferably supported by Apple, then there is a Samsung 15" Series 9 that weighs 3.6lbs with my name on it at half the price.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I went through those options with Apple support to no avail. The apple display system seems to be locked into whatever screen it is formatted for. At lower resoultions the screen becomes blurry which is even worse. No problems, I'm packing it up as we speak (typing this on the old windows laptop) and it's going back. B=Most advanced operating system in the world, my A$$. Perhaps after windows and linux and android etc.

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

  • How can I increase the font size of my email when I print it out, it is printing tiny

    How can I increase the font size when I print out emails, it is printing tiny size?

    In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
    The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

    How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
    We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
    Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
    Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

  • After Firefox was updated, the font size on my screen was decreased for all applications. How can I increase the font size on my screen ??

    After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.
    Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

    Thanks -- that does help!

  • How can I increase the font size of just one paragraph?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4. I want to increase the font size and style of just one paragraph, but the "page properties" changes the font size for the whole page. In this regard: how can I increase the font size (and style) for just one word. Thank you, Mr. Monroe

    How do I get to “CSS Properties”? Do I click on Window > CSS Styles?
    When I click on Window > CSS Styles, I do not see the text “Custom Class.”
    I tried inserting (manually) the HTML code you suggested for the paragraph I want to change and nothing happened. I tried [<span class=”16px”>text came in here</span)]
    I read in a tutorial that after you create a CSS style sheet, all you have to do is select the text you want to apply it to and then attach the style sheet to that text. I can imagine, however, that there are some special steps that one has to perform in order to do this.
    Thanks for your help.

    how can i increase the font size on Safari and email so my mother who is legally blind in left eye, right eye 50% vision.  r there any apple product specifically for the blind?

    From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In  or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
    If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
    You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    You can also get help by posting in the Apple Support Communities > Vision forum here.

  • How can I increase the font size?

    I don't see as well as I used to be able to see.  I can increase the font in Safari, Microsoft Office apps, etc.  but how can I boost the font size on the dock icon, help windows, and system information?  I sort of exected a 22 inch screen to have proportionately larger font size (or special options for the visually impaired.)

    DUH to me.  Your answer was perfect!  I've only had my iMac set up for 2-3 days and I never figured I have the sorts of high resolution way beyond what my Dell laptop has.  Thank, Dansyacht.

  • How can I increase the font size in the Comment pane?

    In the commenting preferences, I can specify different fonts and font sizes. However, it seems like those settings only affect the text that appears in the popups. How can I increase the size of the font in the Comment pane itself? It is so tiny, it's hard to read. I use Acrobat's Comment pane features extensively to reply to my reviewers' comments, and increasing the font size would help reduce eye strain.

    Unfortunately you can't but starting in Acrobat XI, you can at least undock the Comment List and expand the window.
