Interface Font Size is too small on hi-res monitor

Ok, so I am new to this.. I just installed Photoshop CC and the font environment is ridiculously small. I need to change the font size so I can actually work with this application.
I looked for help other than the forums and could not find any. I need help, please.

I was afraid of there not being a solution since the issue has apparently been carried over several versions already without Adobe changing it despite many, many complaints. I need the App for a class I am taking and signed up for Adobe cloud. If Adobe doesn't feel like this issue is important enough I will simply start using GiMP after I am done with this subscription. As much as this application costs, I should not have to "live with it" quite honestly. There are other options which I will take advantage of after this class. It's too bad because I really like Adobe. but what the heck?
Thanks for your help.

E50 Font size is too small

yesterday I bought a Nokia E50. this is really nice one.
I love it. but the problem is the font. Its too small. even some times I can't read it, if i am on move.
I think NOKIA should solve this problem. Because its a major problem.
Anyway, anybody know that how to change the font size?

You will need some 3rd party software to increase the font size. Try this:

My photoshop font size is too small

Hi,
I have a question about my Photoshop font size. I don't know why just this installed software shows magically small font and icon to see what is happening. I really want to fix this, so I don't have to stay so close to my screen to see it....
I have tried to re-install and other applications seem to be just the right size.
Regards,
Momo Lin

Try Edit>Preferences>Interface>Text :UI Font size
or
Edit>Preferences>Experimental Features>Scale UI 200%

Help Viewer Font Size Way Too Small

Hello,
The font size of the adobe help viewer content is way too
small (it looks like a 4 pt or something). I can hardly read it at
all. Can someone please tell me how to enlarge it?
Thanks a lot!
Mike

Hi Mike
I recall that earlier incarnations of the help viewer had a
zoom setting that would allow for this. Sadly, it seems to have
disappeared and I'm unsure why.
Perhaps it will be helpful to know that you may view the
Captivate help as basic web pages? The URL is below:

Font sizes render too small in DW CS3 design view?

I have recently upgraded to DW CS3 from DW8 (which is still
installed) on my Vista Ultimate system.
For some reason CS3 occasionally renders fonts smaller than
they 'should' appear. This can be replicated using the below code
(I realise this code is not 'best practice' by any measure but it
is the simplest way I could demonstrate the problem). In DW8 design
view it renders exactly as it outputs in IE5, 6, 7, and Firefox
(with default viewing settings) but in DW CS3 the font appears much
smaller! I realise this is probably a standards issue, with CS3
probably sticking to the standards more firmly than the browsers
and DW8 but I need the design view to render as the browser will or
it is no use to me
Please do not say that I should amend my code to be more
'Standards Compliant' as my main use of DW is coding a large
PHP/MySQL invoicing system which is used within a controlled LAN on
IE6 only. It was originally written by someone else and has been
added to and updated by myself. It is very large and certainly
doesn't need rewriting just to render correctly in DW CS3 design
view.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, Malcom
Here is a screen shot of DW CS2 andn how the fonts are

Font size is too small in flash applications and the "zoom" feature does not make any difference. Thanks

Zoom dosen't work in flash applications and it is crazy small and too hard to read...this does beat out the fact you can't right click using flash in google chrome...I prefer firefox, but will go back to IE if it is the only program without such major bugs
I have also reset the minimum text size in flash and that did not help the problem at all.

Changing default interface font size has no effect

Just setup my shiny new iMac with 5K retina display. Images in Lightroom, of course, look stunning on the display. Problem is that all the interface elements are now displayed at a very small size. I've tried setting the font size in Preferences/Interface to "Large", but nothing changes. Any suggestions? With the increasing use of 4K and now 5K displays, I'd think being able to set a more easily readable font size for the interface elements (while still displaying images in all they retina-resolution goodness) would be an important option to have. Thanks.,

Lightroom 5 the font sizes changed to Small, Medium, Large 150% and Largest 200% (the last one is what you want for QHD displays.)
LR4 only had 3 font size choices (Auto,Small and Large) and does not support QHD/4K displays.

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.

I am running Premier Elements 11 with Windows 8.1. The font size is so small Elements is unusable.

I am running Premier Elements 11 with Windows 8.1. The font size is so small Elements is unusable. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem? My computer is Dell XPS13.

lloyddawes
Thanks for the reply.
Sorry that the display is not better. You are correct - in Windows 8.1 64 bit
Control Panel
Appearance and Personalization
Display
the choices are 100% and 125%.
There are some user "Custom Sizing Options" and other under that. But, if you have all the settings maximized, it would seem that you have
the best viewing situation for your particular setup.
I do not see the opportunity for improving your situation in this matter moving to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 or 13/13.1.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

How do I force text smoothing on for font sizes 4 and smaller?

Is it possible to force text smoothing on for font size 4 (and smaller)? (legibility questions aside)

Whatever your problem, it won't have anything to do with
being in an
editable region. Post a URL to your page and identify the

Interface font size too small

Is there a way to increase the size of the font used in the application? I'm referring to the font used in the entire interface, not the metadata panel where it is possible to increase the font size of that singular UI panel.
If there is no in built functionality, is there a way of replacing the application font with a modified larger version or just a different font that is larger?
I've tried increasing the Screen DPI in windows, this enlarges most other applications I have, but not Adobe Bridge.

Me too. I find I soon get eyestrain and a headache trying to read the miniscular fonts.
But then, when I switch the screen resolution to a lower setting, the windows inside Dreamweaver become impossible to manage.
VERY poor design, Adobe!
For a company that prides itself on fonts and creating documents, this is a major failing.

Thunderbird **Main Screen** Font is WAY TOO small - and there are no provisions to change that text size!

I see lots and lots of complaints but NO suitable answer! Most answers don't even answer the question but instead tell how to increase MESSAGE font size - not the main screen "message list". Suggestions to change screen resolution are common but are ludicrous. One would have to change resolution every time they went in or out of Thunderbird! CTRL+ is also suggested but does not work on the message list. Creating and inserting CSS into the profile is a ridiculous suggestion for most users. And changing advanced settings is only an option for a guru - from my experience less than 10% of the folks I know would even look at the advanced settings - and less than 10% of those few would actually attempt such changes. This has been an ongoing complaint for a looong time.
It's time someone stepped up to the plate and provided a reasonable method of changing the size of the text on this screen.
Or do you want to limit you users to only programmer types?

I have recently made the switch in the last week to Thunderbird from Apple Mail. I have been a Firefox user for many years. Near enough from the beginning. So far I am impressed with Thunderbird but it is lacking something that I don't get with Firefox. Font size is a big issue for me too and it's straining my already short sighted and possibly making (damaging) my eyesight more by using Thunderbird.
Though I agree with everything you are saying. I am one of those users who would prefer to change things within thunderbird itself rather than go and install another third party addon. I by no means am a guru but I have a fairly good understanding of things and would like to learn more about the about:config side of things treading carefully. I have tweaked things in Firefox this way. and disabled some items for security reasons. I am having difficulty finding info within the Mozilla site on this side of things and have yet to go down the search engine route for research into this.
I would like to change not only the main message list as you suggest but also the From, Subject, Reply To, To and Route content along with the Reply, Forward, Archive btns along with any other content etc, above the main message content. As well as my folders.
I feel Thunderbird is lacking accessibility features for those with bad vision or using smaller screen sizes. What I would like is a + and - with percentage btn like in Firefox that zooms in and out the complete page in a more responsive web like way. This would greatly improve things for many users. I'm sorry Mozilla but being able to zoom in and out with a keyboard shortcut in the main message content is not good enough.

Size of font on hardware (too small)

Hi,
A general comment for the Linksys/Cisco design team, not sure where else to post this. I have several Linksys/Cisco products including the Linksys WTR54G travel router and the Linksys SPA2102 ATA. I find the printing on the hardware too small to read, especially in low light situations. I measured the font size on the ATA and the characters on the labels for the plug-in sockets is 1 mm high (that's like 1/8"). These are the words "Internet", "Ethernet", "Line 1", Line 2", "power", etc. On the travel router, the same thing, character size too small. There seems to be room to use much larger character sizes. If someone can pass this onto the team that designs the graphics on the hardware, that would be great.
Thanks.

Hi Sastry,
I tried what you said - I clicked the Font Button on Group Labels (which on my chart is on the Y axis) - it contains the names of the Reporting groups - I was able to make the names of the reporting groups (Sugery, Medical, etc.) larger than the default (which seems to be about 12) and then I thought, the thing that I an asking about - what is the label on the x axis (numbers generated by Crystal from 6-32 in the case of my graph) I should be able to change by going into the Data Label Font dialog box.
But I can't get these numbers to change size (which is what the user wants). They are still a tiny font (4 I think) no matter what I do.
Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Dick

At max screen size th fonts are far too small and there seems no way to correct this

OK you can move down to a smaller screen but what was th epoint of buying a 27 inch machie if yo have to return to the days of Windows 95?
UYou can move some of the windows up by zooming but then the text starts to mess up and merge together.
in Windows you can go to text size 72, in mac its 8 to 24 only whats going on here?
And dont tell me they might work on a future workaround i just laid out two grand to get text i cant read
Hmmm

There's a app, TinkerTool, that may be able to change the system's font size.
I've not used it so can't comment on how compatible or effective it is.
