How do I change font size from points into pixels?

I used to be able to set font size in points but CS 6 has removed this? Please dont say that points = pixels. They do not. See for yourself.  A photoshop doc and an Indesign doc have the same pixel size. A 20 point character "A" in InDesign, will be larger than a 20 pixel character "A" in photoshop. This creates hours of extra work when translating text heavy InDesign documents into Photoshop PSDs. Is there any workaround? Help!

Ok, I know why you dont understand my question. I should have said, that points in InDesign do not equal pixels in HTML  (and I should have left Photoshop out of it). 
My problem is going directly from InDesign to HTML CSS code. I used to be able to look at the type in my layout sketch in InDesign, select pixels in the units preferences and (assuming I am using the same webfont thanks to google fonts and the @fontface style) the font size would match exactly when I view the webpage in a browser. But now, when I try to code my webpage fonts in pixels, using the value from InDesign's points, fonts sizes dont match when viewed in borwser. This may seem like I am splitting hairs to you but it makes a big difference if I can just look at my InDesign sketch and see the excact size of the type without having to export a tracing/guide image and try to match visually. It just worked when I could see font size in pixles in InDesign in CS 5.5 but does not work in CS 6.
Try a test: make a div in webpage with same pixel size as an InDeisgn doc. Use a defualt font like helvetic that is aval. to both InDesign and your browser. A 20 point word will not match a 20 pixel word in the same font.
Also: I believe I rulled out any font replacment issues. For my designes, I am using the same font in both the InDesign doc and webpage code. I am using google fonts (donloaded for indesign and "link href" in head of code on webpage and/or using the @fontface style).

    How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

    You can't in Safari.
    However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
    NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
    Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
    (note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
    So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

    You will need the web browser Firefox installed
    http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-6.0.2&os=osx&lang=en-US
    Next you will need to add the following addons
    Theme Font & Size Changer
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
    NoSquint
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Theme Font & Size Changer can adjust the size of the type Firefox uses in the toolbar area.
    NoSquint remembers per site web page zoom levels and you can set a minimum size for all web pages so any site you visit is made bigger automatically. Safari doesn't do this.
    You can see the difference between Firefox and Safari in this picture.
    Note: Firefox is highly customizable browser, and I added the green with the yellow type, you won't see that when you first start using it.
    It did that to match my desktop picture, grey is depresssing.

  • How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion.  Everything is greyed and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

    how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading,  all fonts are grey, instead of black,  and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible?  And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade?  I no longer have column headings and I'd like them.  Thank you. 

    Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
    No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
    Perhaps someone else will have an idea.

  • How do I change font size on icons?

    I am struggling to see the fonts on icons & Safari. How do I change the size?

    CONTROL-Click anywhere on your desktop, or in a folder, and choose "Show View Options".
    From there, you can select the font size, as shown in this image. Here, I have selected "16".
    You can do this in any folder.
    In Safari, select "zoom in" & "Zoom Text Only" in the VIEW menu.

    Tengo un computador iMac de 27 pulgadas que además tiene una resolución de pantalla de 2560 x 1140, por lo tanto el tamaño de font o letra en la barra de menús de cualquier ventana o aplicación se ve muy pequeña. Si se cambia la resolución a una inferior el tamaño aumenta; pero se ve borroso. Quisiera mantener la máxima resolución y tener un tamaño de font mayor.

  • Not very tech Davy, just figured out how to print a pic off phone to wireless printer, how do I change pic size from 8x10

    Can u help

    I tell you how. dumb luck. Certainly no thanks to "Apple Care" or maybe we should call them apple "careless." I told them my issue , and what I did to fix it so far. They tell me to delete the ipod photo cache and resync. They kill me.
    What kills me even more is * I preface this by stating that I am in no way a racist, and this has nothing to do with race, color, or creed, it has to do with getting good customer service. I, myself, am disabled. I have an artificial pelvis and left leg. I know my limits, you won’t see me trying to get a job where my disability affects the job I was doing. I running any marathons any time soon*
    I’d call apple care again, but I’m not fluent in some of the languages the telephone customer service agents speak. Funny, you’d think that apple would try and get customer service people that can be understood over the phone. It’s like hiring a blind guy to drive a school bus. They will get you somewhere, but probably not where you wanted to go. Maybe we should call the Apple HR dept and have them hire some deaf people to field service calls, would be just as smart as hiring someone who was mute, or in Their case someone that can not be understood by an English speaking person. Just my two cents. Feel free to pass it on.
