Cannot change fonts in Mail version 3.1

When I start a new message in mail, if I want to change the font I can't access the font tool either by selecting the font button in the outgoing message tool bar or by the drop down format menu ( or by "command T"). I can, however, go into preferences and change fonts universally. Basically if I cut and paste a sentence from another message or word doc into an outgoing mail message that is a different size or font and I want to make all the fonts the same, nothing happens, no font tool window appears.

I ran into the same issue yesterday and have tried to change the language from English to German. I have restarted iTunes as requested. The weird thing now is: The settings show German, but iTunes still is in English. I have then set the language to French and restarted iTunes and... It was French.... Then I put the settings back to German with the result that iTunes is Englich again. I have no solution and I am curious if this is a programming issue as it seems I am not the only one here from Germany.... Any ideas???

Need Help Changing Font Size on Mail Program

OS X 10.8.3
My mail list under "sort by date" column has a small font which I would like to make bigger.
I have gone to Mail>Preferences> Fonts & Colors but none of those cseem to change the font in the second mail column under (Sort by date).

There generally is no way to change the font, or font size. TinkerTool is one of a few utilities that will allow the change of some items, but for the most part, the OS ignores any settings you use in TinkerTool.
The default font for the system is Lucida Grande. You absolutely cannot change it. If you delete the font from the System folder, the OS will immediately replace it with a copy from a deeply hidden location. If you delete the font from both locations, the Mac will instantly become completely unusable, requiring a reinstall of the OS from your OS X installation disks. Unless you have another drive with OS X on it so you can copy Lucida Grande back to the drive you removed it from.
About the only easy way to increase the font size overall is to select a lower resolution in the Displays section of the System Preferences.

Ibooks cannot change font of English on the new ipad

I cannot change the font of English in ibooks 3.0.1. Especially those books I exported by Pages. While I can change the font of some books I downloaded from Internet. How can i deal with that proble?

+1 here too.
iphone 4s works fine with gmail and gmail set up via exchange, Ipad1 (OS5) gmail setup works, but exchange setup does not. All settings correct based on google support for setting up Exchange accounts on iOS devices. I tried most of the same tricks as the original poster. No luck though. It has been >12 hours now since I last tried. The device doesn't show up on the list of devices on the google page that shows which devices are syncing with Exchange.

Cannot change textcolor in e mails anymore

when writting an e mail I cannot change the color of (parts of the -) text anymore

Hi Zenos,
thanks for responding so quickly.
What I mean is I still do see the "Change Color Icon" on the work bar. - the 2 square little blocs -. When I click on either of them the "colorpanel" to chose a color from appears like it should.
But after selecting a color and clicking on "OK" nothing happens with the selected text nor with background of the email
I have re installed a much older version of Thunderbird. The problem remained the same........?
I deleted this older version and re installed the latest TB version 31.3.0. . The problem is there again....?
Made me think that perhaps the origin of this problem might not be Thunderbird but another program or malware.
I ran my anti virus and Malwarebites: nothing abnormal was detected...........?
Note. at almost the same time my Firefox 34.0.5 browser also developped a problem. It does not load my chosen Startpage (Google.com) anymore but loads Google.es ( es = Spain/Europe, where I live)

Verizon Webmail Editing fails in IE9 - Cannot change Font or Character Size

I recently switched from IE8 to IE9, and now in Rich Text I cannot highlight and change Font family of Font Size.
The highlight disappears when I click one of the Font dropdowns, and the cursor jumps to the head of the message.
I can select a Font size and/or family, then position the cursor, then enter text, and it is the correct size and family,
but I cannot after that change it. If I paste something into the message, I cannot change that.
This fails on two computers running WIN8-64bit and IE9.
It does not fail in Firefox.
Verizon says it is Microsoft's problem. I think Verizon's webmail client provider needs to talk to MIcrosoft.
Does anyone have this configuration with this problem?
Does anyone have this configuration without this problem, and if so, any idea what to change?
Has anyone a solution to offer (except returning to IE8 where it worked)?

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but the moment I unchecked it everything started appearing a bit fuzzy. Not as crisp as it normally should. (unless the real effect happens after restarting FF)
Regardless I still don't see how my graphics driver would be the issue, because isn't IE9 technically using it as well? And it showed those special characters just fine other than making em appear a bit smaller.
Also I forgot to mention this, but atm its only happening when I'm viewing that particular page with FF. If I view another different site (like a forum) that has the same or at least similar sets of those special characters, they are showing up fine. If I copy/paste those texts from IE9 onto FF then again they would show up fine.
There's also some forum posts I did which involved me copy/pasting those special characters from that page (before updating to FF12), now when I look at those posts they haven't changed at all as that page has.
So the problem here is not being able to view those characters completely but rather why they would appear different especially on that page unlike when viewed from different sources/browsers.

Cannot change font size when highlighted. All font changes. How do I correct this?

Frustrated as to why when I highlight a single word to change font size or style every word on the page follows the adjustment. I need to be able to change words individually with font, size and color.

I have stopped using Text Edit as I find it flaky. Instead I prefer Bean:

Cannot change font from Lucinda Grande

Hi, recently when creating text using the text generator in FCP 5.1.2 i am unable to chance the font to anything. it is stuck on Lucinda Grande. All other drop menus are functional except for this one. Am i missing something obvious here? It has definitly worked fine before.. any ideas?
Thanks, Matt

Are you using FCP's Text tool? For me it has always been the most under-developed and unreliable part of the application. If you haven't already, try recreating your text files in Boris Title 3D (it's in the Boris folder in the Video Generators Folder in the Effects Tab of the Browser). It's easy to use and much more flexible - like allowing you to have different font styles and sizes in the same line, use a lot of cool effects in the Style Palette, etc.
Also, if you haven't already, do the old standby trash your preferences and repair permissions. Curious: can you change fonts in any other applications?

Cannot change font from italics when composing a message

Cannot change font, size or anything for typewriter tool

Hello all,
I am having an issue with the typewriter tool. I cannot seem to change my font on about 95% of my PDFs? Every once in awhile I am able to change the font and size. But I cannot find a consistancy and cannot figure out the issue? When I want to write on the PDFs to change size or font, it won't allow me to. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lorne

I believe I have good news for all who have this trouble. It's been annoying since day one.
I accidentally discovered that by setting your cursor just off the edges of the document and begin your typing, the font properties always remain easily available!
Once you have created a typed message (any number of characters is okay), you can then drag the filled-in Typewriter Text Box to any location on the document; and you can continue to edit, at will!
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had less than 05% font selection success when I type directly on/in the document.
Using the Typewriter Tool, I've had 100% font selection success by starting my typing in this space just off the document surface. Once finished typing, I just drag the box to the document surface. I hope this works for you, too!
See image. To enlage this image, press your Ctrl key and scroll. Good luck!
