Look-up font size

When I look up a word in the dictionary, is there any way to increase the font size of the dictionary? It is very small indeed.

There are no user-level adjustments, but you can experiment with
/Library/Dictionaries/Oxford Dictionary of English.dictionary/Contents/DefaultStyle.css
to increase the Dictionary font size. Here's an explanation for Mavericks:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25897288
I'd guess Yosemite's Dictionary is similar. Apple hasn't changed Dictionary much in years.
By the way, make sure that you have a backup before you begin to tinker. If something goes horribly amiss, a backup will make recovery much simpler.

Font Size problem : Swing font looks smaller than pdf font

Hi
I'm facing a problem with font size in my swing application. I'm showing some text with a certain predefined font size. Using the same font size and type on same m/c, I 'm generating some pdf text.
The problem is that the text in swing looks smaller than the same text in pdf. Is there a way to achieve
consistency in font sizes.

please don't cross-post. pick the appropriate forum and use it. close your cross-thread.

In CS 5, the font size in the type tool isn't working correctly.

How can I correct it?

In case you have not fixed this, take a look at your Image Size (Ctrl Alt i). The default when you make a new document window is 72ppi which can result in smaller text than you sometimes expect. If you open Image size, turn off resample, and change the resolution to something like 300, you'll get much larger type for the same settings.
For this reason one of the first things I do after installing Photoshop, or resetting Preferences, is to open Preferences > Units & rulers, and set Type to mm. This way I know that if the document is set to A4, and orientated in landscape (297mm x 210mm) setting text to 21mm is going to result in type exactly one tenth the height of the document.
I believe people in America still use inches, but unfortunately inches are not an option for Type units in Preferences. It is easy enough to work it out in your head though. A 10x8 document with type set to 25mm will give you text one eighth the height of the document.
The bottom line is you can at least predict what is going to happen when setting text size.

The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size.

Font size in Photoshop document looks larger than it should be?

I am designing a web site in Photoshop. No matter what font I use, the size looks too big. For example, I have to make my font size 6px in my photoshop document even though the actual font size i'm going to use on the website is 11px. My document size is 1024px by 768px. I am viewing at 100% and my screen resolution is set to 72 px/in. I have asked my instructor and he doesn't have this problem but doesn't know how to fix mine. Is there something in my preference i should change? I would really like to be able to use the actual font size in my document as I would for my actual site.
Also, this happens in both of my PC and the Mac at school. Let me know if there are other information I need to say. Thank you in advance!

Aside from what Noel said, keep in mind that font size covers the em box of a font, meaning its maximum upper and lower height, not just the visible content and that that relation is different for each font. In order to e.g. produce a 11px high glyph on a 72dpi device, the actual font may be designed with 14pt in mind and you will have to use that size.

Font size in Photoshop looks totally different in Web

Hello,
i have a very strange problem. Im using Photoshop CS6 right now to make some modifications to my website.
We are using font type Arial 12pt in the PSD file and also Arial 12pt in the web. But in the web the font looks much bigger than in the psd file.
When we save the PSD as a JPG file in browser and compare it to the website the fonts of the JPG file look fine but in the web they look much bigger.
It seems we have to use 12px in the Web so it will look same like 12pt in PSD.
But im very confused by this. How is that possible? Or what are we doing wrong?
thanks

The web runs on pixels, not point. Depending on the default browser font size, system font sizes and a million factors the dynamically rendered type in the browser can always look different. Even assuming 72 dpi isn't exactly true any longer due to high-DPI displays and browsers using other logic internally. that and of course the CSS formatting on the web site can override certain things as well... Complicated subject with no easy answers. Generally you should expect that it will look off more than expecting it to look right under all conditions. Therefore make up your mind how you render certain texts and don't intermingle image-based text them too much with normal text.

Change font color in Report Code causes font size to change.

I am trying to dynamically change the font color in a report, red for negative, green for positive and blue for 0. I have created a report region and here is my code:
select city_name,
py_re_taxable,cy_re_taxable,
decode(sign(re_chg),-1,''||re_chg||'',
0,''||re_chg||'',
1,''||re_chg||'','') RE_CHG
from rc_dashboard_recap a, lk_city_code b
where b.tax_year = :CURRENT_TAX_YEAR
and a.city_code = b.city_code
and userid = :GLOBAL_USER
order by 1
This code works great except it overrides my css text size and shows up as a page default size. I can't seem to figure out why this happens. This also happens when I try to sum a column. I've set my font size to 11 in my css and it is calling it correctly, however with the above code, my font size shows up at 12 or so.
I am looking at the code (view source from my page and it shows the correct class
<td class="t3dataalta" align="right" >-13.98
in my css:
td.t3dataalta{font-size:11px;padding:2px;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;}
If I remove the decode statements with the font color then my font size is correct, but I need to figure out how to make the colors work.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank You

The new update has screwed up my browser settings, I cannot get them fixed and Im pissed because my computer is an eye-sore to read until this is fixed! EVERYTHING in the browser is smaller, fonts, menus, icons, web page content, pictures, tables, etc. I have set the minimum font in the settings and the text is just to a point where it is easily readable at the maximum size setting, but all the menus and icons are still tiny and hard to read. The last version I had installed worked fine with no add-ons needed. Everything fit the screen fine and was easily readable without modification. I want this version off my PC and I want the last version I had back on but I dont know what version it was!!!!!!! ARARGGGG
In fact, this stupid troubleshooting window that I am in filling out this form doesnt fit the page right at all, and edges of the text are cut off, so Im not even sure what some of these boxes are asking for!!

Adobe Reader XI 11.0.07: font size in comments has been reduced to about 5pt with this update

Win7 x64/sp1 with many updates:
For the last few years, I have experienced major font problems with the comments, such as attempting to make a change in a font style causing Reader to lock up for about 3 or 4 minutes.
I allowed the update to 11.0.07 this am and the pdf I was working on, at length yesterday, now has the font size in the numerous comments I created reduced to about 5 pt. I know: that small isn't possible, but that's about what it looks like.
I believe that Adobe's quality control on Reader has been grossly lacking in the comments area. It has been suggested to me that I switch to PDF-XChange.
I will seriously consider it, because, as I open up pdfs from years past that I need to use for the material I'm working on, I see that the font size in all of those comments has been reduced drastically as well.
The only remedy that I can find is to open each comment individually and "Clear formatting."
That will amount to an enormous waste of time.
Please hire someone who is interested in quality control.

Hi Rohit Sh,,
Thanks for your answer. I have encountered a similar problem. While the font size of the comment created before the update remains unchanged, that of the comment created after the update reduce to about 5pt.
Then I tried to increase the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, the font size of both the old comments and new comments get increased. So, for example, suppose the desired font size is 10pt but the new comment look like 5pt, then when I update its value into 10pt again, nothing happened; when I change its value into 15pt, the old comment become 15pt and the new comment look like around 7-8pt; after this, if I change its value back to 10pt, the old comment would become 10pt as desired but the new comment now would become even smaller than 5pt. In conclusion, I can never make all comment have the consistent font sizes by changing the Font Size from "Commenting" section under Edit->Preferences, as it worked in the earlier version.
Please fix this. Thank you very much.

Printing--Linewrap/Metadata/Font-size?

Running Lightroom 1.2 on WindowsXP.
Three questions about printing:
1) Is is possible to wrap lines in the Identity Plate? Ideally, I would like to force a hard line break between Name and Location or Name and Date, such as:
Yosemite National Park
2005
and keep both lines centered within the Identity Plate field.
2) Can Lightroom store print metadata (font size/color, scaling factor) for each print the way it stores Vibrance, virtual copies, tone curves, etc.?
Suppose Photo1 and Photo2 have widely different title lengths (6 letters and 20 letters, respectively). Then I print Photo1 then Photo2 then Photo1 again. Right now I have to re-scale the letters for Photo1 to make them look the same size they were before, even though I printed Photo1 already. That's a real time-waster. Is there a better method when you cannot know which photo will be required to print next?
3) Can Lightroom set font size explicitly instead of using % scale factor? It would be a lot more convenient to set the font size at 10 or 12 or whatever so it could carry over to other titles if you want all your titles to print in a specific font size (e.g. 12 points)
Thanks,
Robert

Thanks. Sorry. I typically don't repeat questions.....
Any guidance on my other 2 questions above?

Increase font size of a print out

Hi,
We neet to print one ABAP report in landscape. The font is very small to be visible. So, we need to increase the font.
Currently while printing on a local computer, the format its using is X_65_255.
Please suggest me what has to be done to increase the font size to get the report clearly visible.
Thanks,
Sailesh K

Right!! This will happen, this is why I suggest to shorten the size of the report, get rid of gaps in the columns, get rid of un-needed columns, etc. This is the only way to get the font size to increase, because the system wants to show all the data in the report, so it shrinks the font to accomodate the 255. A 132 format looks very good on an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet in landscape. The font is a very good size, as you increase the columms, the font will decrease. Do you understand why it is this way? Think of it this way, if you need to put 500 characters across the page, what do you do? Shrink the font, right? This is what the system is doing when going with larger number of character columns. If you want to get the report to a nice readable font size, you must bring the format down to 132 characters across.

Rich Heilman

How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
Here are the instructions from the third website above:
Things You'll Need:
Site designed in Wordpress
Administrator access
Step 1
First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
Step 2
Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
Step 3
Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
Step 4
Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.
