New Browser Font - Font Size - Thumbs Down

I'm not sure why Palm messed with something that was working - but the new font in the browser is too small in portrait mode. Maybe ok for folks with great eyes but the previous font was much more readable in portrait mode.
If we're going to stick with that, at least give me the ability to choose a small, medium or large size as the standard font in the browser to make it a little bigger.
Is there somewhere we can email suggestions/complaints to? This is a big one for me.
I love my phone otherwise and appreciate the speed improvements etc, but this is just a bad change. The font looks nice and all but it's too small.

I've got to agree with you. My ATT Palm Pre Plus's font size is ridiculously too small.
And NO adjustment for "small, medium, or large" font? Inexcusable.
My Blackberry Bold had options to select an exact font size (i.e., 8, 10, 11, 12...whatever). Why can't Palm Pre Plus offer any user-selectable font sizes?
Failure to allow your customers the ability to adjust to a larger (and readable) font size is a strange indication. It's almost like someone at Palm "wanted" this phone to fail.
Does anyone know how to increase font size on the ATT Palm Pre Plus?
Thanks!

Font size - Drop down menus

My PSE-8, newly installed on windows 7 platform has very small font sizes and I can only read with difficulty (aging eyes) the drop down menu headers; they are about font size 6 maybe even 5. There are same font size problems elsewhere in the menus but I can`t remember where.
Does anyone know if and how these font sizes can be increased ? Much appreciate your time to direct me to the solution to this most annoying feature.

Thanks for the response - but, been there - done that, and . . .
My dpi resolution is already at 150 % the max default setting and there is no change. Is sure wish this could have worked.

Web browser font size

Does anyone know if you can set a larger font size for the browser screen for the Tour when calling up web pages. The type is tiny and it's a pain to have to keep zooming in. Thanks.

enter the browser application, select the menu button, select options, then select general properties
you have 3 options to change font size and style (bold, etc)
default font size
minimum font size
minimum font style
when done hit menu button and select save
be aware that changing the font size will change how the text is positioned on the page, and in some cases the overflow may get clipped, such as when the size of the text boxes have been predefined to fit a specific page layout and larger text simply no longer fits.
so you may want to begin by changing the style to bold first , and experiment with font size slowly

CF8 cfdocuments new bugs (font size, bold, underline...)

Hi
I face the following problems after upgrading from CF 7.0.2
to CF8 + Cumulative Hotfix 1 :
- bold and underline generates white space around them if
they are embedded in a sentence (i.e "this is <bold>bold text
</bod> and it is fun")
- font size behavior has changed, the text is now bigger. (My
font-size: 12px is bigger than before)
- when reducing it (i.e font-size: 11px) the bold/underline
problem becomes the opposite : instead of white space, I have
overlapping texts.
We use a html 4.01 transitional doctype and CSS styles (i.e
div class="myclass" and .myclass{..} in a separate css file)
Any suggestion ?

the cf8 cfdocument cumulative hotfix has been updated on Jan
30 2008 -
have you re-installed it?

Font size too large in IE in spry drop down menu

Created a Spry dropdown in a table row thats over a background image. My client just notified that on his windows IE there are breaks in the table cells above and below the table cell that hold the drop down. Looks great on all my macs in different browsers but if I increase the browser font size I notice the same issue. He says same issue on multipul computers at their business and has not messed with the default browser size.
Here is a screen shot. Site can be viewed at http://www.mountainchaletaspen.com
I can decrease the font size but then hard to read. Also not sure if it's a DOCTYPE issue.
The menu portion is a template page - if that matters.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark

I hope the problem is solved. I was scouring the code for the menu bar items and noticed there were spaces between some of the end tags - specifically between a few of the the </a></li>. I closed them up and my the template view in my assets panel suddenly corrected itself (it had been showing the gaps between tables but the paged still looked fine so I discounted it). That and also decreasing the width of the main menu items helped too. If someone with windows IE could check I would appreciate it:

This shows the two most recient issues: The white space above and the space below holding the repeating image

Can't Change Standard Font Size in Preferences

I just got a new 24-inch iMac, which is great, but the screen is so big that web pages at the standard size are impossible to read at a comfortable distance. I went into Preferences and clicked on the "Appearance" tab, and set the standard and fixed-width font sizes to what I wanted--and nothing changed. I quit and restarted Safari, quit and restarted the iMac--no change (even though the sizes in the Preferences remained as I had set them). What the... ?
I am using the latest Safari (2.0.4) and OS version (10.4.7). I am running Pith Helmet, but things did not change when I disabled it.
I tried setting the "Never use font sizes smaller than..." to the size I wanted, but there are two problems with that: (1) the font size changes but the line spacing does not, making text seemed crammed together; and (2) it prevents me from sizing down the text if it appears too big on some pages. So that's not an acceptable solution, neither is Command-+'ing every single web page I come to.
I searched the forums for the past year, and found no answers to this. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Okay, strange thing here... it seems that Firefox and Mozilla are acting the exact same way, and the universal effect is taking on a strange form.
I made a blog post recently where I had photos, and under each photo I set a caption, which is sized with the HTML command "font size=-1". THOSE lines respond to the font resizing, but the rest of the text does NOT; this has the strange effect of making the main page text small, and the photo captions large--instead of being smaller as intended. I checked a variety of pages and found the same thing: on some pages, all the text followed the new standard font size; on some pages, none of the text changed size; and on many pages, there was a mix of affected and unaffected text.
I am guessing that all of these browsers only change the font size of non-CSS-formatted text or something like that. If so, it seems a bizarre thing to do. Or perhaps there is some setting on my Mac which controls this?
Help!

I can't get into the settings for fonts. How do I do that to change the font size?

I had downloaded the latest updated version of Firefox and I ended up syncing it to my Android phone. I went into some kind of settings dialog and accidentally changed my font and text settings and now I can't read any of my Gmail that's in my account on my desktop computer-it's too small. I'm trying to figure out how I can get into the content settings (I have the print out of what I'm to do once I get into the 'options' on the content settings page, but I don't know how to bring up the content settings menu/page). I use my desktop PC for work purposes and I can't use it with the font and text settings the way they are now. I also read where questions are being answered, but no one knows how to find the answers to the questions people are asking. How do we get to the answers that people give us about the question we have asked?
I hope you can help me ASAP so I can change what I need to ASAP. I work on my pc 24/7 for work and it's not helping me when I can't read emails and I can't fix the problem.
Thanks!

Hi!
I followed the directions that were given to me in this forum. The only difference on my desktop PC computer after you click on the three lines at the top right of the screen after signing into your g-mail account, it will bring up the menu and you click on the 'Options' tab. I'm on G-mail and I'm running windows 7 Home Premium; there wasn't a preference tab and the percentage was already set at 100%. It takes you straight to the options menu. You then click on the 'Content' tab if it's not already open, change your font and font size to what you want, and then click OK. It reset those items for me and now I can read my emails. I noticed if you change the font type and size to something other than Times New Roman-size 16 (default font & size), you may have to change the size of font to a higher number (i.e. Arial-18 font size). You just have to adjust them for your preference if you want something other than Times New Roman-font size 16.
Thanks for the help and info. It worked.

Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed.

I notice that when I upgraded from Desktop 4.1 to Desktop 4.1.4 that the font size for memos, calendar, contacts, .etc is considerably smaller than it was in DT 4.1.
I've seen some posts here that seem to suggest that there is NO way to change the font size of Palm Desktop for the Palm III class of PDA's.
I suppose Palm thought they were doing us a favor by decreasing the font size and allowing more viewable text on screen BUT actually it's just another source of eye strain.
Anyone found a work around for this before I roll back to Desktop 4.1?--'cause I'm sure not about to change my system default font size or resolution to accommodate this new "feature".

Save As PDF shrinks text font size unreadable

Just "upgraded" to Yosemite yesterday and starting to regret ... at least after the latest of today's hiccups.
Latest trouble: just converted a single page Word document to PDF to share with clients [Print > Save As PDF],
but discovered in horror that PDF conversion shrunk the font to an unreadable font scale & blurred letter head.
Same issue when testing PDF conversion in TextEdi
t.
The same Word document converted just fine in 10.8.5 yesterday, with no noticeable difference between document original and PDF version.
Also, older PDF documents still render okay when opened in Preview and/or Acrobat.

Update: I have run additional tests today, seems like it's a font that is creating the problem:
I use Merriweather, which suddenly convert to shrunken size in PDF, but if I convert the document font to something more generic, e.g. Courier New, the font size remains accurate in the PDF version.

Cfdocument doesn't work with my font size

Hi All,
My font size doesn't work inside my cfdocument using css
Here is my code:
In My css file I have this:
body {     font-family:"times new roman";     font-size: 18px;     line-height: 20px; }
The font is a TTF and it shows in my cfadmin as:
Font Family Font Face Postscript Name Font Type Useable In Path
times new roman
Times New Roman
TimesNewRomanPSMT
TRUETYPE
PDF/FlashPaper
c:\windows\fonts\times.ttf
I try using postscript name and the same issue. If I increase the font size it actually reduce the size on the screen.
I'm using windows 2008 with CF8 with the latest hotfix 8,0,1,195765
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Johnny

Don't know why didn't show my code.

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.

Have been using Thunderbird for years..can someone please--please--please-tell me when I can change font sizes numerically???

I have been using Thunderbird for ages and just love the way it works. However, is there any possibility that the ability to alter font size from '10' to '12' instead of 'bigger or smaller' be available??
It would be awesome to be able to do that.
Thanks for your time in advance

Numerical font size change is not a choice using Thunderbird. You can open a new "write mail" an increase font size by choosing the first and second "A" in the body line directly below the subject line. You have to be in the body of the letter to make this available. Also, in tools, options, composition, general, HTML you can set both color and font size with choices from xx small to xx large (by default), and then increase the default font size as stated above. As always, remember to click apply or OK when making these changes.

Font size adjustment

I installed Photoshop Elements 11 on my PC with no problems. However, once I use the program the font size on all screens, e.g., Organizer and Editor, is very small. I don't know where to make the adjustment so I can view the program in at least 12 pt. fonts.
<moved by mod from download, setup and install - kglad>

Some of the fonts are fixed and you cannot make them bigger unless you want to run at a lower resolution. On the Web you can change your browser font size. I guess this is the trade off when using a monitor with very high resolution.

Font size in Palm Desktop

I use a 15" 1400x1050 screen. Using Palm Desktop the font size of the applications is so small, that I have a hard time reading it.
Any suggestions?
(Please, don't tell me that I can increase the system font size in Windows, that is not the issue here).
Thanks.
