Maximum font size in a finder window

Hello,
I'm trying to increase the font size in ONE finder window, so that my wife with decreased mobility can read the text on a TV screen.
In view options, the maximum is 16 pt. Is there any way to increase this? I do not want to increase the size in other windows.

AFAICT, no. You could try lowering the display's resolution and see if that'll help. Alternatively, turn zoom on in Universal Access prefPane, zoom, and see if that works.

  • Font size in the folder window and feet thumbnails Adobe Bridge

    I've been trying to figure out how to increase font size in the Folder window and foot Brige thumbnails, but can not find it anywhere.
    I do not mean the font size in the window metadata. In that window I know how.
    If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much, as I have vision problems and the size of the letter have to much strain to read.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards

    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    I imagined that this is not possible ..... I´ve given it a lot of thought before asking .....
    As is the case with the brightness of the background area around the picture window in ACR (trim panels column and area around the image window), whose brightness dazzles enough to incorrectly assess the brightness of dark parts  image and can not be changed  (as can be done, however, in Bridge and Ps, even in the background of the image window's own ACR 8.4), this two questions should be posed to developers group Creative Cloud, as suggestions for future improvements that could be implemented .... But I have no idea how to do that .....
    Again, thank you very much for your feedback.

  • Maximum font size for auto-sized form text

    You need to let the user select a maximum font size for automatically sized text. If most of your fields are set at 10pt type, but you have one field for which you want the text to resize automatically, it looks stupid if that cell contains a small amount of text that’s set at 16pt or whatever. If you could set the maximum font size to 10pt for that field, then the text would be consistent with the text in the other fields unless there is so much text that it needs to scale down.

    Can anyone please advise?
    Cheers

  • Set maximum font size

    Is there a way that I can set the maximum font size?  I want to limit the size of all fonts.

    I found tinkertool, which did exactly what I wanted.  I love it.

  • How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor?  It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

    How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor?  It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

    Unfortunately this will require some new programming by Adobe and there's no way to know when that will happen. In the meantime, the only option I think you have available to you is to change your resolution so that your monitor is using fewer pixels per inch.
    Kinda blows the whole value of the newer monitor but I suppose you can switch back and forth from low res when you are working in Bridge to high res when you are working in PS.
    Sorry, but for the time being, that's about it.

  • Right side menu too small font size of letters in Windows 8.1 High DPI screen

    Hi, I just own a new laptop with Windows 8.1 and high resolution screen.
    When I start Adobe Reader, the document area seems to be readable, with "normal size fonts", but the options menú in the right side uses a very small fonts size and is hardly readable.
    I tried to change it using the Windows "change menu, title, icons size, but withpout success.
    Any solution for it?
    By the way, in a Lenovo Ideapad U430 Touch, there is not "magnyfying glass" combination key and the zoom function of the touch screen doesn't work either in that right side menu área (it works in the document area, not in the right side menu area).
    Any help will be welcomed.
    Thanks.

    Hi, Pat, test done.
    Thanks for your suggestion, it was somehow helpful, or, let say, half and half.
    It was helpful in the way that when I opened the preferences Windows I was not able to see the full window, there was a part of the right side of the window that was out of the screen. So, when I changed the "scaling settings options and behaviour" from "Auto" (default value) to 100% everything was in the display.... So, this was of high help.
    BUT I was not able to find any way in all the suggested document for making the fonts used in the right window of the Adobe Reader, the one where the "Tools" and "Comments" menus are displayed more readable, bigger size, than the one that the product uses by default in the High DPI display.
    So, thanks for the suggested document that helped to solve the first point.
    BUT
    Any other idea that could help for changing the fonts used in the "Tools" or "Comments" menu window?
    Thanks and kind regards.

  • Screen font size in bridge cc windows 7 not adjustable?

    Having installed New CC Version yesterday i was kind of amazed about the screen font size especially for the file tree and the file folders on the left of the screen in Bridge (Windows 7). Is there a way to change the size of those screen fonts besides via the system fonts adjustnent that doesn't help in Bridge? Thank you.

  • Calculating maximum font size

    Okay, I have a JTextField with wrap on. It's setEditable(false). The string in it is going to be changing constantly and the field has a fixed size. I'm trying to come up with a method that will determine the maximum sized font that will be able to fit in the TextField without requiring a ScrollPane.
    I'm not quite sure where to start on this one. I'm sure I can come up with a calculation involving font point size and FontMetrics.stringWidth() but I can't figure it out. Any ideas would be helpful.

    hi
    * Computes a correct font size to use for the text of this component.
    private void computeFontSize()
        int height = getSize().height;
        int width  = getSize().width;
        if (current_font != null) //this will be the font the component is currently showing
                // need to create a brand new Font everytime to see if the
                // stringWidth fits into our current width.
                // We can check height by pixels, but sadly need to create a new font
                // for checking the width.
                Font tempFont = new Font(current_font.getName(), current_font.getStyle(), height);
                FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics(tempFont);
                if (fm != null)
         int textWidth  = fm.stringWidth(getText());
                         if (textWidth > getSize().width)
                                // Text doesn't fit horizontally; scale it down a bit.
                                // (stop div by zero errors)
                                if (textWidth < 1)     
                                         textWidth = 1;
                                int newFontHeight = (height * width) / textWidth;
                                if (newFontHeight != current_font.getSize())
                                      current_font = new Font(current_font.getName(), current_font.getStyle(), newFontHeight);
                         else if (tempFont.getSize() != current_font.getSize())
                               current_font = tempFont;
               tempFont = null;
               fm = null;
    }this code was taken from a homegrown label component that scales its own font based on its size.
    There is enough here for you to work out what you need.

  • Can we specify Font size in the Inspector window?

    I am a whiz at MS Word. I'm totally lost in Pages. My current dilemma is how to specify the size of my text in the inspector window. Is it possible?
    Currently, the only way I can change the font size is by clicking Format > Font > Show Fonts > and making the change in the new window. Is that the only way?
    Sigh. Here's hoping I can figure out Pages soon or I'll be stuck in limbo, juggling both a PC and a Mac.

    You might want to explore the keyboard shortcuts.
    ⌘ +T will show your fonts. (Lot easier than using the menu.)
    I also changed the increase font size shortcut from ⌘ + and - to ⌘ + > or <, just like Appleworks. You can change the shortcuts using the keyboard system preference.
    <ol type=>
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Keyboard & Mouse.
    Click Keyboard Shortcuts.
    To disable a shortcut, deselect the checkbox next to its description in the list.
    To change the key combination for a shortcut, select the character in the Shortcut list. Type a new shortcut by holding down the key combination that you want to use instead.
    Tip: You cannot use each type of key (for example, a letter key) more than once in a key combination.
    Quit and restart any applications you are using for the new keyboard shortcut to take effect.

  • Maximum font size?

    I am unable to get text larger than fontSize=127 with Flex.
    This limitation doesn't exist in Flash, what am I missing with
    Flex? This is a pretty huge problem for what I was doing.
    The whole text/font system seems to be lacking. Many font
    families don't seem to render with flex and default to one of the
    serif/san-serif fonts. Several fonts suffer from clipping at the
    end when fontStyle=italic. Neither the case in Flash.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Did any of you two got a confirmation that this is a
    limitation in Flex?
    I seem to be having the same problem, and since our interface
    design requires a font size of 152 pixels, this looks like a
    serious problem for us.

  • Maximum font size script

    Howdy all!  Have a tricky question. Using LiveCycle ES 8.2
    Working on a form, I've got a pair of linked text fields (global data linked).
    These text fields are static in size, but I need the values typed into them to shrink when it fills up the visible area of the text field.  I can't set the value font size to 0pt from the start.  It makes the initial font size too big for the value.  The font size needs to remain at 16 pt until the value fills up the field's visible area, then it needs to switch over to 0pt (hence triggering a full event).
    I've tried using a full event with the following code;
    this.font.size = "0pt";
    But it won't fire.  I wonder if there is a limitation to the what the full event can trigger.  I can use the change event or even the exit event if I have to.
    I've also tried a calculate event with the following script:
    if (this.rawValue.length > 48) {
         this.font.size = "0pt";
    else {
         this.font.size = "16pt";
    But this did not fire as well.  And yes, I have the scripting set to Javascript...not Formcalc.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Using ES3 and just a 0 font initially (with all scripting removed) I get the following, for a short name;
    Which seems about the right.
    And for a long name
    My version of your form is here https://sites.google.com/site/livecycledesignercookbooks/home/bizcard_form.1.pdf?attredire cts=0&d=1
    There have been some changes since ES8, including a default font size added to the form properties, but not sure that is a factor as the largest font used in this sample is still smaller than the default.
    Is this what you are seeing?

  • How to control font size in express vi windows popups?

    My Windows XP user interface uses many popup messages generated by the "Display Msg" express vi.  Is there a way to customize the appearance of those popups, e.g. larger font?

    If I'm correct you can change any express VI into normal (static) VI's.
    Open the front panel of the pop-up VI and select the text, now change the font from system into something different.

  • Palm Desktop 4.1.4 font size for Windows XP

    I run Windows XP and I have the most up-to-date Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4.  However, my Palm desktop font is so small I can barely read it.  I need to make the font larger so it's readable for my eyes.  I was advised to click on Tools, then go to preferences and change the font size there.  Unfortunately, Windows does not offer this solution.  What do I do now??  JIm

    Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop 4.1.4 software and Window XP.
      Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
        File  >  Export  
      Search for "FontSmall"
        Edit  >  Find  >  Find what  >  FontSmall
      Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
      Exit "regedit"
        File  >  Exit
      Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
      Notes:
      1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
            HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
            * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
      2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
            The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
      3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
            FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels) (FontCard is a regedit value)
            FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts) (FontGeneral is a regedit value)
      4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
            Palm Desktop v4.1.4
