How do I lock in a font size for all viewing

I created a website that looked great on my laptop, my house desktop, my Blackberry and even my Kindle. But the guy that I made it for has his internet browsers set at font size 18 so it looks horrible. I didn't realize that my computers are all set at 14. I'm assuming that my phone and Kindle are set at 14 as well since everything lined up right. So I went back and set my internet browser at 18 and redid the pages to match.
My question is how do I create pages with universal size fonts so that this doesn't happen and so that I don't have to change my font sizes everytime I work on this particular site? It looks so tiny when I change back to 14!

One issue to clear up might be the redundant styling of text through CSS and through HTML. If you are defining size in CSS, there is little need to also define a -1 font size in the HTML.
You might experiment with alternate measures of font size in the CSS. There is more than just 'px'.

How do you specify a minimum font size for incoming mail?

Is there a way to specify a minimum font size for incoming mail messages? Mail I get from others is almost unreadable and I always have to manually (apple +) increase the size.
As a test, a friend on a PC (most mail I get comes from Windows) kept increasing the size he sent me, but when I received it there was no change in size on my end.
I can't find anything in Mail's menus and preferences to change this behavior.
Mail 2.07; OS 10.4.6.
Thanks,
Cathy

if i had the problem then i'd make a backup copy of
my ~/library/preferences/com.appple.mail.plist file,
open the original in property list editor, look for
any likely elements that have small or negative font
sizes and set them to, say, 12, save the changes and
see if that helped
Found the file; couldn't open it (tried Text Edit?) to make any changes.
You can use the following trick to force Mail to
always use a larger minimum font size on received
messages - some HTML messages might not look exactly
as intended but at least you can now read them:
1. Quit Mail
2. Open the Terminal
(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in the
following:
defaults write com.apple.mail
MinimumHTMLFontSize 13
3. Restart Mail.app and your HTML messages are
readable.
Of course you can set the point size to whatever you
like.
Found file; was not comfortable inputing text as this simple task did not behave properly.
PC friend said other Mac user reported this same anomally with receiving small text from him. I have over a dozen different PC users that I correspond with where I have this problem. It seems to be on the Mac end.

HOW DO I LOCK A LARGER FONT SIZE IN EMAIL

Hi
Can anyone advise how I can lock in a larger Font Size when I am composing an email.
It comes up as normal size as standard and I can change size manualy but wondered if I can lock in a bigger size ?.
Many thanks

Hi, I don't believe that you can. It always defaulst to Tahoma/Normal. Every time that you want to compose a reply you have to manually select the font and font size of your choice.
I've posted something along these same lines some time back and there was no positive answer provided and no response from BT to enable this to be a configurable setting.
BT supports response back to me with regards to problems with the new email service was that 'because it's a free service we are not obliged to fix any problems with it'.

How do I increase the menu font size for Bible Fox?

I know how to increase page text size etc, but using (brown) Bible Fox theme, I can't increase the menu font size. Is there a way to do this?

You can try to increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 steps to see what works best. 
In Firefox 3.6 and later this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements more precisely.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I set up minimum font size for mail messages in iPod touch 5G?

According to the iPod touch User Guide for iOS 6:
Set the minimum mail message font size: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Minimum Font Size
But in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I don't see the "Minimum Font Size" option.
Thank you in advance!

Look under Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text

My default font size is set at 18px. Is this the default default font size for all users of ff 3.6+?

I was developing a site in ff when I noticed other browsers were rendering the font size smaller than in firefox. Upon investigation I discovered that my ff 3.6 default font was Adobe Caslon Pro Bold 18px.
I have never deliberately set this. My understanding was that all browsers default default font size was 16px.
Has ff default font size changed from 16px to 18px?

You're welcome.
You can also see preferences that have changed as bold (user set) values on the about:config page.

Setting font size for code view

On my 19" desktop monitor the text size in code view is easy enough to read, but on my hi resolution 17" laptop it is really, really tiny. I can't find any prefs setting or another way to make the font for code view larger. Is there such a setting somewhere? (Yes, I can change the resolution settings for the laptop but this is not preferable because the screen is blurry at anything other than the native 1920 x 1200 pixels.) Thanks.

Play around with the preferences shown above to see what works for you. I changed mine recently to use Consalas font and it's much better than the default :-)

How do I change the Attribution font size for Outlook for Mac

Outlook For Mac assistance.
I have gone into the settings menu and properly set up my font and style for correspondence (Preferences-Fonts), the issue I have is that when I reply or forward a message, the Attribution (To, From, Subject,
Date) etc... from the sender defaults to a much larger 24 size/ Verdana. I can manually highlight and then change this to match my settings of a 16 - Calibri but this is a hassle. I have tried to alter this via the Preferences for E-mail (Composing)
and while option three gives a Name, Date, Address option (sans the Subject) Attribution, the second desired standard option does not include font or style changes. This is of course the HTML option which is preferable to me.
How can I set the default of option two to match my other font and/or style preferences?

How can i lock the position and size of all of my .app windows?

I have had this problem for a few months now; I would size the window of one of my apps (lets use safari for example) exactly the size i want it, then i position it exactly in the center of my screen because I'm OCD like that, then I'm just browsing the internet and i accidentally move the window so then i have to move it back. Sometimes it gets even worse and for whatever reason, my cursor is down in the lower right part of my window and i accidentally size it, then i have to go back and resize it to where it was. Please help me! there has to be a way to lock my windows positions and sizes! is there a widget or a program out there that can save my life?! Thanks haha

AFAIK, there isn't. All I can suggest is that you quit clicking and dragging the cursor. Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down. I don't have a laptop, but there might be a trackpad setting for the various swipe stuff that comes with them.

Change font Size for Lock Screen Message

In system preferences Security & Privacy you are able to set a lock message for the lock screen. Is there a way to change the Font Size or even the color of the message in Mavericks?

I was able to set the font size for all the text on the envelope by pressing the Set button for the font. The size is on the right side of the dialog box. If it is not working for you, try choosing another font, and then going back to the one you want.

Onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"

How do I increase the onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"? I just tried to spell check a document and the font size was so small I can't see what it says. Also, when you click on 'font' to change it, I wish the list of fonts was larger so I could see it clearer. I have pretty good vision so it's not that, it's just the size of the font....it must be at least 6! Thanks for your help.

Hi, Diane. I don't know what sort of display you're using, but it sounds like you have a flat LCD display. At any resolution lower than its maximum, a flat-screen LCD display is always blurry, and the lower the resolution, the blurrier it is. This is because unlike a CRT display, an LCD has a fixed number of physical pixels in it that can't be changed. If you instruct it to "pretend" it has a smaller number of larger pixels by setting it for a lower resolution, each of the "pretend" pixels has to be made up of several real pixels instead of just one, and no pixel can be (for example) half white and half blue: a pixel is an indivisible unit that is always all one color. So the only way the hardware can use several pixels to represent one larger one is to gradate the colors of those pixels as best it can to approximate the intended image, and that inevitably spreads the gradation out — which is exactly what blurring is. This is just an inbuilt property of LCD displays, not a defect that needs to be (or can be) fixed. The solution is to buy a display that works well for you at its highest resolution — which will probably mean a lower-resolution display than you have now.

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

"Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller.
As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

HI Velders,
Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
Regards,
Barry

How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

In an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the size of the Mailbox font used in the left sidebar to view more content in the column, but I don't remember what I did to change it. The Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors pane no longer has a Mailbox font option.
Does anyone know how to change the Mail sidebar font size in Lion?

I'm not sure what you're responding to. Bob H. above pointed out a clear bug in changing the Mail list font when he went to Mail/Preferences/Fonts & Colors and changed the font setting for the Mail list (second column), and it didn't work.
My issue was the font size in the first column (sidebar), which is not controlled in the Mail app, but by going to System Preferences/General and checking the box for changing the sidebar font size. This checkbox also controls the font size for Finder (Desktop) windows sidebars (left column), where hard drives, other volumes, user Documents folders, and the like are listed. This does work perfectly for me.
I have no other suggestions for you, except for perhaps trying removing the com.apple.finder.plist file located in the ~/Library/Preferences folder, which you can access by holding down the option key while selecting the Go menu at the top of the screen. This controls the Finder window settings you have previously selected, and may be corrupted. Simply move it to the Desktop for temporary safekeeping, then if it simply copied it, vice moving it out of the folder, right click on the file in the folder to move it to the Trash (you may have to authenticate). This will force the Finder to recreate a default version of the file, which you can then remodify to your liking. If that works, Trash the copy you moved to the Desktop. If not, put it back in the folder to restore your prior settings.
Good luck.
