My screen's font size shrank

I pressed control/c and the font size on my screen shrank. How do I restore it back to its normal size?

Thank you! This zoom problem happened to me for the first time after syncing my phone with my Macbook -- the settings must have changed during that process. Glad it's an easy fix!

Mavericks After Upgrading to 10.9.2 the font size in the address/seach bar has changed to be small.

After upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.2 the text in the address/seach bar on Safari is a lot smaller. This is not a screen resolution issue. The fonts in Finder are larger than they were before anoying fix for this would also be nice. It is also not a screen resolution issue.
I really do not know what Apple are doing with quality control with Mavericks. The 3 month GMAIL problems have not been fixed with this upgrade and you also have a lot of font size changes accross you whole machine, within mail, finder and safari.
Any help appreciated.

Message to Apple:
Mavericks reminds me of all the old problems I had with Windows before I moved to Mac. Prior to Mavericks upgrades would not change screen resolutions, Font sizes etc. The GMAIL issue has not been fixed.
It is inconceivable to me that you could release this product which does not support basic mail functionality for one of the largest email services on the internet ie. GMAIL and then take 3-4 months and still not fixed with the 10.9.2 upgrade. What are you guys doing. The loss of productivity for people is beyond comprehension.
Can we please get a fix for GMAIL in Mavericks that actually works.

Dear WD Registered Customer,
UPDATE: November 1st, 2013
As a valued WD customer we want to make you aware of new reports of Western Digital and other external HDD products experiencing data loss when updating to Apple's OS X Mavericks (10.9). WD is urgently investigating these reports and the possible connection to the WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager and WD SmartWare software applications. Until the issue is understood and the cause identified, WD strongly urges our customers to uninstall these software applications before updating to OS X Mavericks (10.9), or delay upgrading. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks, WD recommends that you remove these applications and restart your computer. If you have already upgraded to Mavericks and are experiencing difficulty in accessing your external hard drive, please do not save anything to the drive, disconnect the drive from your computer, and contact Western Digital Customer Service at http://support.wd.com/country/ for further assistance.
The WD Drive Manager, WD Raid Manager, and WD SmartWare software applications are not new and have been available from WD for many years. However, solely as a precaution WD has removed these applications from our website as we investigate this issue.

THIS is very disturbing news from WD.

Font size too small to read in safe/boot mode

I'm posting for a friend who has vision issues. He's attempting to do the clean installation on his 2012 MBP with Mavericks. Basically he's having some trouble reading small font size in the Startup environment with the bootable Mavericks (and likely next steps once the installation is completed). The shortcut command for Zoom in is disabled (which Accessibility or certain shortcut commands obviously is/are disabled in this environment) and can't find a way to change the screen resolution in order to enlarge the size of the screen and font size. Any suggestion to remedy this case?

Here are a couple of workarounds until Apple finally fixes iCal.
You can go to print, choose medium or big, then preview. Then click the middle orange button on the original iCal page to make it disappear. Print Preview will remain, and for me "Big" in preview produces a perfect, visible size. AND YES YOU CAN EDIT IT... but only in Preview. This is now a Preview document, so you can go to tools, annotate (or do the keyboard shortcut), click the annotate icon at the bottom and add items to the Preview Calendar. They won't go into iCal software, of course, but for reminders for the current month they'll work fine.
This works especially well if you have an extra monitor, set the screen size to large, and pull iCal or your Preview over to it and leave it there. I leave Mail and iCal Preview up on the extra monitor.

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.

Need to Increase the Font Size of a screen field in a Dialog Screen ?

Hi ppl,
I have a requirement wherein i need to increase the font size of one field on a dialog screen .
i was going through the threads and found this which has beautiful example given by vijay
Increase text size in Screen
But I'm facing a problem in implementing it since the value in the field (of which the font size needs to be increased) depends on a nother field filled by user at runtime only.
Can anyone gimme some suggestions or alternative way to solve my problem
Thanks
Sachin Soni

Hi Sachin,
There is not way to change the font style.
But you can add ur own text through icons or graphics.
Create your own graphics or icons and include it in ur module pool.
Or,
Goto the Layout Editor of your Screen.
Double click on the text field .. Double clk the text fild, and from the Botton right u can see an arrow icon -> click on that -> will open a Popup -> in that set Area Title to TRUE.
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Tarun Gambhir

How to change font size on screen

how to change font size on screen

I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
Forgot to add these.

How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

hi All
That's great when using SQL Dev.

My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
Appreciate for anyone to help us.
Thanks all.
Sigmasvn

You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus

Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

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.

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.
Best,
Gary

Title Font Size in Final Cut Pro 6 for exhibition on movie theater sized screen

When editing a documentary and creating title cards (that play as part of the movie - text center of screen on black b.g.), lower thirds identifying speakers, and end credits (both single card and scrolling) are there some standard fonts and font sizes people use so the end result will not look too large when projected on a movie screen?
The titles are all from Final Cut Pro (a few from the Boris plug-in for FCP6) and there are no titles that move or that are created in Motion.
I will be able to make additional edits with the fonts sized for tv, streaming, DVD distribution etc. if I'm lucky enough to end up needing those as well.
Thanks!

If the titling is properly composed for the frame size, it will look correct when projected. That is, if it looks font is legible and in decent proportion in your 1080 timeline, it's not important whether the display is 30 inches or 45 feet; the proportion will not change.
In terms of font selection, medium or bold sans-serif fonts work well on all screens. "Plain" fonts like Helvetica, Ariel, or Lucinda tend to work better than the more stylized fonts, but if style is part oif your message, be my guest...
hope this helps

How to get reasonable font size with higher screen resolution

I'm using my new Mac Mini as living room PC with 42" plasma screen and tv itself seems to support quite well the 'better' resolutions like 1024x768. Unfortunately then text is too small to read from sofa (which is about 3 meters away from tv). I have switched back to 800x600 resolution where font sizes are almost ok but many programs complaint about the resolution (e.g. Google Earth) and need to change the resolution back and worth to get some OK button pressed which is glumsy.
I have also found pretty good Tinkertool to finetune font sizes but it does not affect all font sizes like I want. So question is there any better solution how I could find theme that suites better for living room purpose (have not find any theme possibilities for MacOSX). In Linux I could finetune X fontserver, in WIndows I could fine tune the theme used to have bigger fonts, how do I do it in this cool mac?

I hear you! I would also like to see an answer for this. I am running Leopard on a Mac Mini on my 50 inch display in the living room. I have set the resolution to 1080p so that the video and photos are as sharp as possible. (man the videos look great)...
But, I have a very hard time reading the menu bar, as well as safari and mail from this machine. I realize that there are ways to increase the font sizes, but:
1) when I restart safari, I have to change the settings each time
2) when I restart mail, I have have to change the setting each time
3) I cannot figure out a way to make the menu bar larger
I really don't want to bring the mac mini down to a resolution like 800X600 - I think it would look horrible on the large screen.
What is a big screen lover to do?
Any help would be most appreciated...
Cheers!

The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen

The font size is so big my desktop doesn't fit on the screen and can't figure out how to fix it.

There solutions in the "More like this" list on the right.
If this behaviour is system wide you have to choose another reslotution in SystemPreferences/Displays.
