How do I increase the size of fonts in Yosemite?

Hey all, recently I’ve been struggling to read the system fonts on Yosemite. I need to squint in order to see texts. For example, the font at the top left of the screen where the ‘Apple logo’ is it’s hard for me to read the text. I’ve got a 21.5inch LED monitor.
In Finder, I’ve increased the text size to 16, which is the highest number. How can I increase it beyond 16 size font?

Another (rather overkill) option is to decrease screen resolution in System Preferences, Displays

  • HOW DO I INCREASE THE SIZE OF FONTS WHEN WORKING IN MAIL?

    When using Mac Mail the fonts all appear very small. How do I make everything larger so it is easier to work with but not huge when the receiver gets the email?

    You can make some font adjustments in Mail's preferences - Fonts and Colors. You can make on-the-fly changes to display fonts in Mail by pressing COMMAND and + or COMMAND and - to increase or decrease size, respectively. You can also use the Style option of the Format menu to do the same thing.

  • Apple Mail (Mavericks), Viewing size of list is too small.how do you increase the size of the email message list.  The font is too small, I can hardly read them.

    In Apple Mail, using Mavericks, how do you increase the size of the email message list that displays on the left side of the screen?
    The font size is so small.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for responding.  After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box.  And that is the display resolution.
    However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
    Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
    Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
    Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

  • How do I increase the size of the text on the toolbar?

    How do I increase the size of the toolbar text, please?  For some reason, it's now very tiny, and everything I do only increases the font size of whichever web sites I access (which is not what I'm wanting to accomplish). 
    Thanks in advance for any help in this. Actually, I'm wondering what I might have done that would make the toolbar so tiny?

    Do  you mean the menu bar at the very top of your screen?
    If so, open System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    Try a different resolution.

  • How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

    How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

    While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
    You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

  • How do I increase the size of a font from the internet when printing?

    When printing from a webpage, the printing is so very tiny. If I increase the font under internet options it helps, but increases the font so large on the website that it doesn't fit on the viewed page. Help! I read a lot of the questions about this, but no answers!

    Adjust the print scale: File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale (unselect: "Shrink to fit page width")
