My only font size option is px

I am using Dreamweaver CS6.
The only font option I ever get is px choices.
The CSS option Type Font size dropdown is greyed out and locked on px
I have read that the default option should be percentage, but I cannot get that to appear.
Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Nancy
I am using Dreamweaver CS6
Until today I could only use px choice for font selection in CSS rules. That applies to existing rules or any new rules I created.
However, following advice here, I went into the CSS code for that rule, changed Type Font-size from px to %
The rule immediately permitted me to select other versions of font sizes for that rule. The example shown in the screen shot is where I have not yet amended the coding. Maybe you can see that the Type Font-size is greyed out to px only. However, once I go into the rule and amend the code the drop down then permits % and all the other choices for that rule. But for that rule only.
Any new CSS rules the same applies. The new rule offers only px. font size. However, once I change the code manually the rule gets "freed-up"
However, In the properties window at the foot of the screen indicates that I can select % or whatever font measurement I wish. That is new.
From my point of view I have an answer to my question, although it is a sort of work-around.
Best wishes
Peter

Why won't website navigation links/images/buttons load properly when I set my own font & font size options?

I've just noticed a glitch in Firefox when I go to Tools >> Options >> Content >> Fonts & Colors >> Advanced, and set my own font and font size, and force websites to use them. For some reason, this makes websites' navigation buttons fail to show properly.
For example, a website's search bar will show, but the magnifying glass icon will be a box-with-tiny-code. The boxes-with-tiny-code will also replace things like heart icons for Like buttons, arrow icons for Reply and Page Up/Down, things like that.
The link itself is still there, but with all the buttons replaced by identical-looking boxes-with-tiny-code, it's impossible to see what to click without mousing over and hoping a pop-up label will tell me what to use.
Is there a way around this, because I'd like to be able to set a larger font size without making webpages unusable?
ETA: Images of my Tumblr dash, which shows the prblem most clearly, and the font & size options I picked.

It could be there is no room for the icons to show properly.

Default Font Size Options AI CS6

I use a couple of large font sizes (above 72pt) very frequently (ie 172pt), and would like to know if there is a way to add those to the default drop down selections in Illustrator?
Thanks in advance!
Lloyd

It's not precisely what you want, but darn close would be to create a character or paragraph style where the only variable is the point size of the type. Then you'd just neeed to click that style to format your text. Here's some pics. I used a character style assuming you might have other text that should not have the big size. If that's not the case I'd use a paragraph style to make it just a hair easier.

How do I edit font size in acrobat 8?

I am trying to make edits to the font and font size in acrobat 8. I have clicked on the text toolbar under advanced editing and selected my text. All of the forums I have read say to right click on that text and select "properties." When I right click, my acrobat does NOT give me the option for properties. The closest option is "text style" which does not give me any font or font size options - only bold, underline, etc. Can anyone assist me in where I ca find these options or why it is not giving me the "properties" option?

Select the text and type ctrl-e

Is there a real way to increase the system font size yet?

I got a new Mac Pro (2013 model) to use with my Dell U2711 monitor which has a native screen resolution of 2560x1440. After spending some significant time fighting with cables (HDMI and DVI will not allow for full native resolution due to a Dell issue, only Display Port works), I finally got my screen working at the full native resolution. Since I am going from a previous resolution of 1920x1080, as you can imagine, the text is pretty small.
I am running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
I searched the forums for a way to increase the default font size and found a ton of posts, but most posts were older or got the response "Change your screen resolution" which translates to "Drop your resolution to a non-native and clearly inferior mode" or buy some special computer reading glasses. These are not real solutions for me. I do professional photo editing so being able to have a high screen resolution is important. With a great OS I would think there would have to be a way to increase the font size. (Surely if Windows can do it, so can Mac OS). I know I can do it for some individual applications like iTunes, Safari, Chrome, etc. But I can't find a way to increase it for apps that don't have a font size option or for default mac applications like the action bar. Is this an issue that just keeps being ignored or is there a solution yet?
With 4K displays already on the market and 8K ones being shown off at CES, if we can't control the default font size, are the next set of solutions going to be "Go buy a really big magnifying glass"? If the current answer is still that I'm SOL, could we please get some feedback to the product group that this is a real issue and it's only going to get worse with higher res monitors coming. I don't think many people will be happy dropping their 4K displays to 1080 resolution or lower just so they can read the text.

Download and run the free application TinkerTool (not "TinkerTool System"), select the Fonts tab, and change the font sizes.

Pages are not scaled correctly, if you change the font size in browser (Fireworks export in CSS)

I created some simple pages for my website with fireworks. I only used images and text and exported the pages in CSS and images. The Problem is that if you change the font size in the browser text and images or text and text often overlap each other. So what can I do that the page is scaled correctly?

Yep, the "Font Size" option under Setup / Display is certainly not what it should be.
Perhaps Menu or Fixed Font size would be more accurate.
This problem extends to much of the device; the Browser, e-mails and the lock screen. Lock screen certainly looks like it was thrown together.

Font Size in Contacts

Can you increase the font size on the numbers in the contact list?

No, that is not an option at this time. The only font size you can change if for email viewing.

I need to input text from PC to iPad with large font size. Too much to ask?

Works well with PC to PC using just software likge Windows Live Messenger, but not with iPad because I haven't seen a Messenger app for iPad that can display large fonts or has custom font size option. They all use small font size that can't be changed.
I've also tried many VNC apps by writing the text in my PC to notepad and using the VNC to display the large text for iPad. Probelm is VNC's wont work well with 3G.
Is this really too much to ask from iPad?
If some app developer reads this, I'll buy an app for 50$ that has white background and can receive text sent from PC with custom font sizes. Doesn't have to have any other features. Just receive text from PC using the existing IM softwares like Windows Live etc or simple custom software.

I was wondering if you could help me out with my current situation. It seems like it is similar to your previous I/O delima. I think I might have to parse the data, but i dont know how to do that yet. I basically have to put the information from one text file into a database, and it is formatted in one way, and i need to format it a different way that SQL statements can read. Here are 2 entries of about 12,000 that i have in one text file:
1
UI - 4
TI - 117-28
Y2 - -32676
RP - NOT IN FILE
SO - <None Specified> -1 ;():

UI - 11721
TI - The mechanism of genetic recombination in Escherichia coli.
MH - mechanism
MH - recombination
MH - Escherichia coli
RP - NOT IN FILE
SO - Cold Spring Harb Symp Quant Biol 1953 ;18():75-93
This is only 2 of the records, You notice that the record number is first, followed by another field ex. (UI), which then the data stored in that field are after the "-"

How do I set up minimum font size for mail messages in iPod touch 5G?

According to the iPod touch User Guide for iOS 6:
Set the minimum mail message font size: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Minimum Font Size
But in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I don't see the "Minimum Font Size" option.
Thank you in advance!

Look under Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text

When we increase font size image also increase and becomes blurred, how to solve this?

When we increase font size then image also become large and that's why they becomes blurred, there should be a way to increase only font size not image or symbols, so that they will clear.
I think in safari i saw this feature.

hello pandeyvinod.india, press alt in order to show the menu bar and go to ''view > zoom'' where you can select to only zoom text.

How to change font size on Write screen only

The Thunderbird Write (compose) screen allows font choices for HTML e-mails, but not font sizes in traditional 'points.' There is an up/down button set on the screen, and a setup option for small/medium/large, etc.
By sending myself mail, and reading it in another popular mail client, I see that "medium" is 12-point type, which is what I want. But when I select medium as my default, the text on the Write screen is too small, nowhere near 12 points by eyeball. If I make the font bigger on the Write screen so that I can read it, then it is received as 14pt or 18pt.
There must be a way to choose what you see on the Write screen, independently of what is actually coded into HTML and sent. Sure enough, I can do Ctrl/Shift/+, and that makes the text on the screen larger (leaving images untouched, thanks!) , but it's back to tiny the next time I open the program. Is there a way to make this text magnification 'stick'?

Thanks so much; everything worked as you said. And the stationary suggestions seems like the right thing to do, too.

Photoshop will only let me use custom font sizes

Hello
I've been having a strange issue for awhile that I thought would eventually go away with an update but hasn't. Having used photoshop for years, I've always been able to click in the text size menu of the character panel and either type in a pt size or increment larger or smaller with my up and down arrows on the keyboard. I can no longer do that -- when I try to type in the new font size -- say 25 -- my text is actually replaced with the numbers "25" and the font size stays the same. If I choose a default size from the drop down menu (18, 24, 36, 48, etc) it will change size but I'm not able to enter any custom sizes. I get the same behaviour in the option bar.
I'm using the most up to date version of CC on an late 2012 Imac 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 running the most recent version of Mavericks ( OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)), but this has been happening since Mountain Lion and atleast the first version of CC, possibly CS6.
It doesn't matter what font I use and happens on every document. I've also tried to reset the tools and delete the preferences.
I do use the no-longer -supported free version of Linotype Explorer but it seems more like a photoshop issue.
This is obviously really frustrating and I haven't been able to find anyone else with the exact problem. If anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

The key combos still work for changing type point size, just not in Preferences-controlled-increments (instead, whole point sizes, 1 point at a time) -- and you can also input any point size. Are you using the Character Palette?
On Mac, "Command-Shift->" increases the point size 1 point, and "Command-Shift-<" reduces it by 1 point size (if the type is selected).
If you use the Character Palette (Command-T on Mac), you can input any point size you want, up to 1/1000th of a point: 24.582 pt. size, for example.

Can I change iTunes & iPod display font (not font size) for selected files only?

I loaded a Russian classical music CD into iTunes and iPod. On the original CD, titles, names etc. are written in cyrillic alphabet. Once I loaded the CD into iTunes and on iPod this info was displayed unreadably in western alphabet. Example: "Èæå õåðóâèìû..." (Í. Ãîëîâàíîâ)Õîð È.
I have cyrillic font on my Windows 7 computer. Can I change the display font--for only these selected iTunes music files--to the cyrillic font? Thanks!

Does any one know how you can adjust the font size (point size) for the file
names.
Sadly enough you can't chance that, feel free to add a feature request for
that, the more there ask for the bigger chance it will be realized.
It would be great if the colors for the image name (background and font color)
could be changed so the contrast could also be increased so it is also easier
to read.
And this the cheerful part, go to Bridge preferences General tap and play
with the sliders for user interface and Image Backdrop until your satisfied.
BTW using the slider for thumbnail size bottom right of the Bridge window to
increase the thumbs does not increase the font but makes it nevertheless a
little clearer.

My only font size option is px
