Permanently change mail font size?

How do I permanently change the font size for mail? I know how to increase it for individual items, but that is cumbersome. Is there a way to change the default font size for the lists of incoming messages and the screen section below that where the message automatically appears when you click on an individual message in the list? Thank you for your help.

Thanks very much. I was mistakenly going to System Preferences. That solves the problem.

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

For outgoing email you the Fonts and Colors buttons found in the New Message pane (note that settings you make in Mail > Preferences do not affect outgoing messages).

For the mail app specifically, you can't. You can set font size for the system overall in accessiblity (Settings app > General > Accessibility > Large Text), but this will not impact some emails (such as those using graphics).

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.

Is it possible to change the font size of the PO terms only in the email?

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the font size of the PO terms only?
We are emailing PO and terms to the Suppliers.
Is it possible to reduce the font size on terms only so that the file size is smaller and easy to print on the supplier end?
TIA

Are we talking out Purchase Order PDFs here.
If you are mailing PDFs I think you can take a look at the XSL FO Stylesheet which is being used to generate the PDF for a PO.

Want to change the font size but add-on not recognised

I want to change the font size on my e-mails but this is done by an add-on which Windows does not recognise. It's something to do with codecs - can anyone help please.
Cheers
Graham

Changing the font in emails you compose and read can be set in your Thunderbird and does not need an addon.
Tools > Options > Display
More info on fonts:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Font_settings_in_Thunderbird
There is an Addon which can be used called ' Theme Font & Size Changer 7.7 ' :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
* Download to desktop or 'downloads' folder.
* In Thunderbird, 'Tools' > 'addons' to open up add-ons Manager in a new tab.
* click on the daisy wheel icon and select 'Install addon from file'
* locate and select the .xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.

Changing the font size when sending email out from the iPad with MobileMe

Is there a way from the iPad, or from my MacBook to the iPad, that I can increase the size of the font when typing outgoing mail? I use MobileMe on both my iPad and MacBook. My sister has cataracts and she needs the type size larger than what is already set on the iPad outgoing mail. I can make the type size larger for my incoming mail - I guess I did it through iPad settings -but I can't seem to figure out how to make it larger for my outgoing mail. I would prefer to be able to answer her on my iPad than having to switch back to my Mac each time she writes. Thank you.

I guess what I am looking for is a toolbar when I am sending email so that I can change the font size, change the typeface, make words bold, underline them
I don't think you will find any app that does that, it's the kind of feature only Apple can add. You can tell them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Mail font size

the toolbar icon in mail that is labeled smaller/bigger for font size is grayed out-i.e. does not work unless you are replying to an email. you cannot use it when you either create an email or forward one. why doesn't apply correct this most basic feature that is on most other email software-eudora had it 10-15 yrs ago!
by the way-has steve jobs ever thought of buying the rights to eudora-it is still the best email program around, even though it ended several yrs ago?

Greetings,
You don't need to use those buttons to change the font size for new mail, or even received mail. Just open Mail's Preferences > Fonts & Colors section and you can set the font and font size for all messages, and plain text email.

Windows 7 Firefox 5.0 Yahoo Mail font sizes

When I change the font size in Yahoo Mail "compose message" the font size on screen always appears as my default 10 point, and I cannot see what I am actually composing. I forwarded a test email to a second Yahoo account of mine and hey presto, the different size fonts were displayed.
I then forwarded the test email back to my first Yahoo account and the various fonts sizes were displayed. On trying to forward that email on my "forwarded message" reverted to displaying 10 point on my screen.
I seem to have accidentally sent emails with HUGE text in them as I cannot see what I am actually writing and the font size sometimes changes unnoticed. Any suggestions?

Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Maybe this extension helps:

How can I change the font size on the post of WordPress?

I have found three websites which address WordPress style sheets:
Playing With Fonts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Playing_With_…
Font Size and Color: http://en.support.wordpress.com/editors/…
How to Change Font Size In Wordpress: http://www.ehow.com/how_5469172_change-f…
Here are the instructions from the third website above:
Things You'll Need:
Site designed in Wordpress
Administrator access
Step 1
First, to change the font size on a Wordpress site you need to log into the site as administrator. If you do not know how to reach the login page, simply add "/wp-login.php" after the "www.url.com" address. Then login using the admin sign in.
Step 2
Next, get to the Wordpress file editor by going to Appearance->Editor.
Step 3
Once in Editor, identify the Stylesheet file (style.css) and click to edit. This is usually located on the right hand side under the "Styles" heading.
Step 4
Once in the style.css file, you want to conduct a search for "fontsize". This parameter is used throughout the style.css file and is the parameter used to control font size. Next to "fontsize" you will see something like "16px". Simply increase or decrease the "16" to change font size. The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit.
The way to do this is to first look at the heading it is under. If it is under "comment-template", it is obviously related to either the font size of the comments themselves or perhaps the comment form or the date/time stamp of the comment.
It may take a little trial and error to find the right "fontsize" to modify. Simply modify the one you think is correct and in a separate window, reload the page with the font you are looking to modify. If it did not change, undo the previous edit and try a different "fontsize".
I went to the Dashboard and clicked on the “Appearance” icon on the left-hand side, and then clicked on editor. I clicked on Stylesheet (style.css), but I have not been able to find the “fontsize” that would change my post font size. As the author writes: "The tricky part is to figure out which "fontsize" you want to edit." Some of the font sizes are given as a percentage, and I don’t know if these come into question, i.e., if I should try changing one of these to see what happens.
The end result is that I still have not been able to change my post font size, other than by using the Heading-1-through-6 option, which, I understand, is not the best way to do it.

From John Waller: “If you're using IE8, hit F12 to launch Developer Tools which give you a point and click method of locating the relevant CSS rule on screen.”
I have Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) so tried this method.
This sounded like another promising possibility; however, I have not been able to change the font size in my post using this method.
I have gone to Dashboard > Posts > Edit > then moused-over my post > clicked on "edit" and then hit F12. An enormous amount (20 pages or more) of CSS appears. I tried picking out the font size that I thought pertains to the post (under Text Area), and I have changed the font size from 13px to 24px; however, I have not been able to “save” the new setting. When I go back to it, it is back to 13px.
As a result, I have not been able to use a trial-and-error method to establish which font size I must change in order to change the font size of my post.
