New Install Has Very Small CLI Text

I built a new system from scratch today and noticed something strange. When it booted into runlevel 3 (no GUI), the test was very small. I don't understand why or what cause this. The font is simply annoying and too small for me to read. It happens 1/2 through the Arch boot process. It changes from normal sized CLI font to very tiny font. I also notice when I try to use 'vi' to open a file, it tells me the terminal is too wide. I think this is due to the font or something. I simply installed a base system group and selected all the default packages.
**Correction - the "Terminal Too Wide" message is only in 'vi' and not 'vim'.
Any ideas?

hey, the font remains even after appending the line to menu.lst. Firefox, the login screen, acroread, xchm and a host of other programs still use the smaller font instead

Setting report to A4 has very smaller view in browser. How to set it to 1000px width and what are the limitations on printing if I use 1000px size.
Help me regarding this.

Hi Sanchit,
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), it has two different rules in pagination: Physical pagination, Logical pagination.
Physical pagination is used to the print control and the TIFF and PDF rendering extensions. It is controlled by the PageSize properties.
Logical pagination is used to the HTML and GDI rendering extensions. It is controlled by the InteractiveSize properties.

Did the printing point of view is the situation when we click Print Layout icon in preview report? If we click the icon, the default setting is fit the report of the whole report. We can change it to other value to get a more large view. Please refer to
the screenshot below:
If there are any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

New Safari windows very small

Since upgrading to Lion, when I open a new Safari window it is very small instead of being the same size as the original window. How do I make new windows have the same size automatically?
Thanks,
Patrick

Resize the Safari window by dragging the lower right corner. Exit Safari. When you restart the first window should be the same size as the one you set before quitting.

The Gmail screen has very small text. It is barely legible. All other screens (Google apps and nother sites) are fine

Running Firefox 17.0 under Windows 7. The text size on the GMail screens is so small as to be almost illegible. Other Google apps and other sites in general on Firefox are fine. Gmail on Internet Explorer is also fine. How can I increase the text size on the Gmail screens. Using the Firefox Options for text font and size has no effect.

Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
[[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
[[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

[Solved - ext4 is just super slow] New Install Seems Very Slow

After 8 years of Gentoo I decided to replace my main development box with Arch. No X, just screen, emacs, w3m, and various compilers/languages.
My old box is a 5 year old Gentoo box. AthlonXP 2200 (1.7Ghz), 512M.
The new Arch box is a based on a Shuttle K48. It's got an Intel E2200 (Dual Core, 2.2Ghz), 2G, new SATA drive.
Just to see I did a clean checkout of Clojure (a new JVM language) and did a "ant" on both boxes.
Gentoo: 20 Seconds
Arch: 51 Seconds
I don't think it's a Java issue (same JVM version btw), it's just the only thing I can really think to compare it against. When Arch hits the compile step I hear a fan go off and my hard drive light stays on for the durations. I used ext4 on the drives, gentoo is using reiser. Nothing else seems particularly slow, but I'm not doing anything on it really like I said. A pacman install will happen almost instantaneously (which after 8 years of Gentoo is a welcome change).
Anyone have any ideas? I'll post whatever info you think might be useful.
Thanks.

So I reinstalled with reiserfs so the comparison would be against the same filesystem type. The compile time on arch is now down to 20 seconds. It still doesn't make sense though. The compile is using 2 2.2Ghz cores, it should be crushing my old Gentoo box.
I might try again with ext3.
If anyone is curious if their ext4 shows similar issues try this (you'll need 15M on an ext2 /boot partition):
On an ext4 partition:
pacman -S svn
pacman -S jdk
pacman -S apache-ant
svn checkout http://clojure.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ clojure
cd clojure
ant [take note of time]
As root:
cd /boot
cp -R <path to where you checked out clojure> .
cd clojure
ant clean
ant [compare times]
Do it a few times, ant clean then ant on both partitions and see how you fare.

I have my itunes account on two different computers pc and mac. My pc has the majority of the media the mac is new and has very little. I just purchased the app numbers for my ipad on my mac and when i go to sync my ipad it wants to erase all my other.

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

My verizon email with on firefox has very small letters, hard to read. HELP

My email messages are coming in in small letters and are hard to read. I am on verizon.
this does not occur when I use internet explorer.
Please tell me what to do so the letters will be bigger and I can then read the messages.

Hi jeanbrasel, sorry you are having problems. I assume your problem is with the desktop version of Firefox. In that case try this.
Click the Firefox button in the upper left-hand corner. Click Options, then click the Content tab. Check the Fonts & Colors section to make sure that the default size is acceptable. If that is acceptable, then click the Advanced button and uncheck the box next to "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". Then select a minimum size, such as 12. Here is a screenshot to help you. If that doesn't fix it, reply back!

Why is the font on my email very small?

Since installing os x maverick, my incoming email has extremely small fontl. It is small when I print it out. This message has very small font. I manually enlarged it. It seems the default now is 10pt or smaller.

One thing to try: Mail, Preferences, Fonts & Colors, Message Font.
You may have to quit and relaunch Mail to get the new font choice to take consistently.

Subtitle font size very small

I just got my 2nd gen Apple TV yesterday. This is my first Apple TV so I don't know if this is a new issue or not. I have a number of DVD's that I own that I have encoded, with (soft) subtitles, for use in iTunes. The subtitles function correctly on all my iDevices, including the AppleTV.
The problem is that the size of the subtitle text varies from movie to movie. HD content seems to display the largest subtitle text while standard def DVD's that have been encoded have very small subtitle text. It seems the lower resolution the content is the smaller the subtitle text gets. Is this how the AppleTV is supposed to function with Subtitles? I have a 52" tv and when watching a DVD I've encoded for iTunes the subtitle text is too small to read comfortably from more than a few feet away.
I purchased the AppleTV primarily for the ability to stream my library WITH subtitles as my wife is hearing impaired, the subtitle size issue is a big show stopper if there is no resolution.
Thank you.

I noticed the same issue. Here's another observation. I have 1st Gen. ATV and the subtitles are perfectly legible. When I play the exact same file on the brand new 2nd Gen. ATV, the text is tiny.
Now this is a DVD that I used Handbrake to encode. The subtitles are NOT the bitmapped text that is burned into the movie. This subtitle text is actually the Closed Caption track that can be turned on and off.
On the 1st Gen. ATV, the text is clear, large, and floats in a dim gray box that changes size depending on how long the sentence is.
On the 2nd Gen. ATV, the text is clean, small and is displayed ion the lowest portion of the screen all the way at the bottom. It's also in a dim gray box, but the box is the maximum width of the screen regardless of how much text there is.
I wanted to upgrade to this 2nd Gen. ATV, and I like many of the new features it offers, however, on this first day, I have to say I'm a bit weary as a few things, including this subtitle issue, have really turned me off. But hey, I'll leave all of my other concerns for another post.
I want LARGE TEXT on the new 2nd Gen. ATV!!!!!!!!!!

Everything on my home page, font and photos, has become smaller. This is also true for the working calendar pages. How do I enlarge?

Without notice the contents of my homepage transferred to a smaller font. The photos also became smaller. When I go to the graph calendar page to enter an event, that page also has very small font.

Reset the zoom level for that page.

Experiencing very small text using adobe connect on my new Microsoft Surface 3. Any solutions?

Experiencing very small text using adobe connect on my new Microsoft Surface 3. Any solutions?

I've heard of this happening before, "it seems that you may be having problems with display scaling of Microsoft Surface. Display scaling effects the way content and controls appear on the screen.
Have you tried messing with scaling at all?
You can try this options: Upgrade Surface Pro from Windows 8 to Windos 8.1, disable display scalling, or reduce display scaling for windows.
Here is some info I found: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/apps-and-windows-store/app-display-issues

Can you think of any recent changes on your computer or in Firefox, new programs, add-ons, etc.?
Have any cats walked across your keyboard recently?
My first guess is the same as yours, which is a "zoom" issue. Holding down the Command key and pressing 0 (zero) should reset the zoom level of the current site to the standard level. Is that still too small?
Regarding content overlapping, this can occur for a few different reasons. Please check on these:
(1) "Text Only" zoom
If View menu > Zoom > Zoom Text Only has a checkmark, click it again to unselect it.
(2) Manually setting font sizes
In the Preferences dialog (either the "3-bar" menu button or the Firefox menu) > Content > "Advanced" button
If the Minimum font size is set to a number larger than 9, change it to 9 or None. A large minimum font size often will wreck the layout.
At the top, there is "Fonts for" drop-down that usually will say Latin or Other Writing Systems. You will want to make the same change for both of those, so select whichever one isn't currently displayed.
Finally, make sure the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked and OK out of the dialog.
Any difference so far?
