Mail - OSX Lion - Can't change font in mail list

OSX Lion seems incapable of changing the font in the mail list on the left side. The default is a horrendous, teeny tiny font. Going to Preferences > Fonts and Colors and choosing message list font reveals a font picker. All the other font settings work in this view except the message list font.
If you go to the "Classic" (aka ugly) view, your message list font changes work.
I am a big believer in software aesthetics, particularly in an app you are staring at all day.
Please, oh please, Apple tell me this is not a default behavior! At the very least, if is truly is impossible to change this, and the over-50 crowd must squint at mail all day, indicate somewhere in the prefs panel that this will not work in the new view.
I'm really hoping there's a solution for this. As cool as the new mail app is, this would be a deal breaker that would send me running back to Sparrow.

"changing the font in the mail list on the left side"
You can change the size of the font (just not the font type) here: Preferences - General - Sidebar icon size.

can I change fonts on files & folders instead of default fonts ?

You cant change the font BUT you can change the boring folder image by copying and pasting in the folders 'info'. That is, if you were looking for a way to personalise your mac :-)

PSE 9... Can't change Fonts

"Set Font Family" doesn't work on pse 9. Font is stuck on myriad_pro. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling pse 9 to no avail. Then I downloaded an update of pse 9. I still can't change fonts. Please help!

Barbara, your question was:" What exactly is the problem? is that you can't scroll the font list? Try using the arrow keys. Does that work?" I replied on the Forum yesterday(modified slightly today):
The problem is that the arrow next to the font window doesn't cause a drop down menu of font choices to appear. At your suggestion, I tried the arrow keys and I discovered that they cause a single change of fonts in the font window. Navigating the list of fonts one font at a time in the future will be painful but doable. I'd like to return to the drop down menu function where I can quickly scroll the whole list of fonts and make a change rapidly.
Currently when I click on the font menu arrow, the screen makes a vertical 1/4 " "jerk", so the signal is rec'd, but there's no drop down menu response.
Additionally, the following commands to the right of the anti alias command are "grayed out" (not functional): faux bold, faux italics, underline,strike through, warped text, and change text orientation.
Your suggestion to use the arrow keys was somewhat helpful. If I can't find a fix I may have to go to a popular font like Arial and just stick with it. I'm afraid to buy the latest version ( PSE 12) as I'm not sure it would solve the problem.

Can you change font size in mailbox list

I can not see my full mailbox list, but if the font size would be smaller this could be solved.
In itself I find the fonts too large.
Is there any way to change this?

Hi,
Try this...Go to System Preferences the select "General" and set "Sidebar icon size" to "Small" as shown below, then close. That should do the trick as its universally applied. I had same problem in Lion.
I also use the paid for 'Tinker Tool System" in which you can change many things so long as you are confident but that's a personal choice.

How many copies of osx lion can you install from one itunes account

How many install can you ut into efect from one itunes account with osx lion?

elstgav wrote:
I believe it's five. It's tied to how many computers you can authorize with one iTunes account. (The same applies to music, apps, and other stuff downloaded from the iTunes Store)
The iTunes, 5 computer limit does not apply here. As per the license agreement, if you obtain Lion via the Mac app store, you are granted permission to install on all Snow Leopard Macs that you personally own/control. If you have Lion pre-installed on a new Mac or obtain it via a USB key purchase method (reportedly coming in August), the license only permits use on one Mac.

Can I change font in Cisco Jabber for Android client

I have Cisco Jabber 10.6.0.xxxxx on my Android phone.
My team tells me that the font they see when I use this is tiny (like 6 point) compared to when I jabber from my desktop.
I cannot find where this can be changed and I need to make this font larger or this is largely useless functionality. Messaging isn't much use if it's too tiny for people to read.
Can someone describe how to make this to at least 8 or perhaps 10 pt.?

Text files have no concept of font. They contain (generally) 8-bit characters represented in ASCII.
If you want to store font information, you need to coose a format that supports this like html or pdf.

Can I change fonts ? (size and/or style)

I have just got a printer for the first time (with my iMac). I can't see how to adjust/choose a font style or size if ,for instance I want to print off an email i receive.
Any advice would be welcome,thank you loons
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

For emails (and all documents) you can just make the fonts bigger before printing by Command-"+".
You can also change the scale % under File> Page Setup which will adjust the document you are printing. Use that with a combination of Print Preview to get exactly the size you want.

Can we change font size and font type in reports

Hi All Technical/Functional Masters,
We are developing some transactional reports in ISU. this report has 20 columns to be printed. On screen, display is not a problem but client has a requirement to download this report in PDF format and wants to print on A4-paper in Landscape. Although we have managed to accommodate all the columns on A4 paper but have to compromise with font size that are very small and not visible. If we download the report in excel format we are able to maintain the font size 8 and accommodate all columns after little format but same in PDF is a problem.
Can anyone tell whether we can increase the font size and change font type(from SAP standard to 'Arial') before sending the output in PDF ? Is there any property or utility that can be changed or used for this purpose.
