PSE 9 Editor Screen Font Too Small

I just upgraded to PSE 9 when I purchased a new PC and High Def monitor set at the recommended resolution of 1920x1080. Now the font in the Editor is so small I cannot read it. Changing the monitor DPI does not change the Editor font. Is there a way to increase the Editor screen font? I purchased the new PC and monitor specifically for PSE and Premier Elements use but haven't been able to get there yet.

I'm assuming by screen font, you mean the size of the type in the Editor, such as the type in the pull-down menus. Obviously I can't know exactly how small your type is, but I recently "upgraded" from PSE 5 to 9 and found the type on the tools and menus to be small and hard to read. The main problem is the type is all white and reversed out of dark black. Don't the Adobe developers know that reverse type is harder to read than black on white? The little black arrows on each tool that has options is almost impossible to see unless I work at night with no lights in the room.

Calendar event font too small

New events I create in calendar have a font too small to read. How do you change the front size?

I'm having the same issue. Did you get an answer? Seems that calendar entries created within Outlook on my laptop are fine, but entries created on my iPhone have a very tiny font. changing default font in "Settings - Display and Brightness" does not help. Thanks.

Elements 13 editor screen font, icons too small to read on Surface Pro 3

I thought this product was designed for high resolution screens. The Experimental sttings in regular Photoshop work fine. Am I missing a setting that is too small to read?
Thank you

Hi William,
Elements 13.1 provides manual control for settings 200% scaling for HiDPI:
Choose 200% and see if it resolves your issue.
Choose Help>Updates... to install the PSE13.1 update.

I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.

Font too small on Home Screen

I just upgraded to the 8900 Curve from the 8320. The 8320 came with about four Theme options. One I like to use is called "Today". The new BB 8900 only came with two Themes. I had to download the "Today" Theme for $7.99 (give me a break). Now that I have the new theme the font on my home screen is so small that I can barely read it without reading glasses.
I like the "Today" theme because it allows me to see e-mails at a glance (2 lines) without having to open them up. Since the font is so small it defeats the benefit of the feature for me.
I have read the manual and searched online but can't seem to get the answer. Can anyone help me understand how can I keep this theme and increse the font on the home page??
Thanks

If you go into Options | Screen/Keyboard can you change the font to something else? Actually I'm not sure if that will change the home screen's font. Did other theme's have larger font's that you liked?
Here are some links to other today themes. Some are even free

Photoshop Elements UI font too small on high-resolution display

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Dell XPS15 laptop with a QHD+ (3200x1800) display. The PC is running Windows 8.1. I have also purchased Photoshop Elements 12 to run on it.
With the display at the native resolution, it is necessary to have the "Change the size of all items" option in the display settings of Windows 8.1 set to "Larger", in order for the native Windows fonts and UI elements to be at a reasonable size. The laptop came with this option enabled by default.
However, disappointingly the UI font size in Photoshop Elements is way too small when the display is at the native resolution. The application is basically unusable.
I have tried setting the "Use system font" option in the General preferences, but this doesn't seem to help.
The only way I can get the Photoshop Elements UI font to a reasonable size, is by dropping the screen resolution (to say 1920x1080).
This seems like a terrible waste of a beautiful screen, particularly when my main reason for using the PC is for editing photos, and my photo management and editing software is preventing me exploiting the full resolution of the display.
I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no option in PSE to vhange the UI fonts (other than switching to System Font' in preferences. So traditionally changing the Windows display font size has been the only workaround, and even that can cause problems with individual menus disappearing and being replaced with a hard to spot >> drop-down menu.
If you have a dual-display system you could have the menus on the lower resolution screen with images on the hi-res.
Cheers,
Neale

Gmail fonts too small, hard to read but are fine using Chrome

I recently downloaded Firefox 4 because Chrome has been really slow and crashing a lot. But when I opened Gmail, all the fonts display very small (too small for comfortable viewing) and after trying to tweak preferences, clear cache and cookies, nothing has worked. If I can't fix this I'm going to have to go to a new browser. I tried the no minimum font size setting, but it was already set to "none"
I can send a screen shot if that will help.

Font too small on Query Builder conditions tab in BP1

A new feature in 11.1.1.6.2 BP1 is that on the Query Builder's Conditions tab, the default font in the Alias and Conditions columns is about a 6 point courier, and is almost too small to read. Any suggestions on how to increase the size of that font? I know I can alter my browser settings, but that just messes up other web pages that are more intelligently designed.

Interesting. You must have something on your Query Builder screen(s) that I don't have. There's nothing in the bottom right hand corner of any of my four QB screens/tabs.
Are you working with the BP1 patch set?

N9 Font too small!!

I received my N9 three days ago and i am so disappointed at the font size. The fonts are way too small and totally unacceptable! I sold my Nokia 700 because the font on that device was so small i just couldn't use it and bought the N9. I figured the N9 with its 3.9" screen the font size would be comparable to the iPhone 4 but boy was i wrong. The fonts on the iPhone 4 are so much bigger! i purchased both the 700 and N9 online so i had no way of knowing the font would be so damn small.
Why are the fonts so small for SMS Messaging?
Why are they so small on the missed call/sms lock screen?
Why is the date on the lock screen so small?
The software guys at Nokia know how to fix this but they refuse. It's not that hard for them to do it. This font size shouldn't even be an issue if they took the time to properly develop the OS for it. I've even heard the Lumia 800 has small fonts.
I've been a loyal Nokia customer for years having owned a 6300 and C3-01 before because they build quality products except this font issue is driving me nuts! Am i supposed to sell my N9 and get an Iphone now?
NOKIA PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ON YOUR NEXT UPDATE! MAKE THE FONTS BIGGER! ITS GOT A 3.9" SCREEN FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD!!

Please update to PR1.2 when available, it contains some changes to improve the readability of the UI texts.
the fonts in pr1.2 are smaller than pr1.1.
it is not so much that they are actually "smaller" as the css files in the device show them being the same, with exception to the lockscreens (those were made smaller), but the issue is more with the font style that they changed it to.
someone go and grab a wp7.5 device and then hold your nokia n9 on pr1.2 next to it. the fonts are closer in likeness now unlike the pr1.1.
so the new fonts are a "thinner" look to them, making them seem smaller. but they are more "crisp"
I changed my fonts to script, and even with the settings in pr1.2, they are the same as pr1.1, so it is the font, and not the "size"

Yosemite fonts too small for middle aged eyes

I just updated my desktop to Yosemite and am wishing I hadn't - the designers clearly don't have a clue what happens to normal eyesight in middle age. I am NOT vision impaired - just a little bit short-sighted (-1.5) and a little bit long-sighted (+1) and a little bit astigmatic, with up-to-date glasses that correct my sight properly. I am nonetheless finding using this new OS on my new 1920x1080 (non-Apple) monitor, which worked perfectly with Mavericks, absolute torture - all the text in menus, settings screens etc is just much too small for comfort, at least in the chosen font. In some apps I can use Cmd-+ to increase the font size, but there seems to be nothing I can do about the font sizes in Finder, Preferences etc
I have read the threads about the reasons and ways to mitigate the problem, and have increased contrast and reduced transparency in the Accessibility settings, and am considering running the script to change the default font back to Lucida Grande. But my point is that I have perfectly normal eyesight (for someone of 53) and have never had any screen problems before, so I shouldn't need to be using the Accessibility settings. I know it is fashionable among designers to create lots of blank white space, but white space doesn't compensate for illegibility!
I can see from all the threads on this topic that I am not alone. So please Apple, sort this out - usability must come first - and not just for the under 30s!

Even iBooks on MBP Retina !?
I love the iBooks app and use it specifically because of the "Night" appearance option, which turns the page background all black and the font white (similar to inverting the display). Fortunately books' font sizes remain adjustable as big as I want, but - I can no longer see page information (current page number and number of pages left to read) at the bottom of each page. The page information is barely visible (appears like small dark grey foggy font on a black background). This is very likely also the result of the Yosemite font fiasco. Not an issue when reading books in "Night" appearance on the iPad, (they didn't break it yet yet in iOS).
"Digital Books without page numbering information"!
A Huge design fiasco.

Mail Composed, and incoming messages displayed Font too small.

Most emails I receive and my outgoing composed messages use a font size around 12 point. People who receive my emails see a normal size, but while I am composing or reading incoming messages the font displayed is too small and difficult to read.
When I use other applications where I also use or view a 12 point font, and have the viewing magnification set to 100%, the displayed font is just fine. I think this is due to my screen resolution which is set to 1280x800 on my 13" MacBook.
When I change my screen resolution to 1024x768, the mail displayed 12 point font becomes readable, and in other applications the 12 point font at 100% magnification is the same as when I was using the 1280x800 screen resolution.
I have tried entering Command-Plus to magnify the displayed mail message, it actually increases the font size in the message rather than magnifying the message and keeping the font the same.
Is there another way I can magnify just the displayed message without magnifying the whole desktop/screen?
Thanks in Advance.
Jeff Cameron

Yes, setting the monitor to the default resolution, it does look fine. But for applications like Word, Pages, Preview and many other when you set the display zoom magnification to 100.00 regardless of the screen resolution the text seems normal, but in Mail, there is no screen zoom magnification, and so the higher the screen resolution, the smaller the text in composed and received messages is.

Itunes 12 Font Too Small

Apple what have you done? i have got the font set on the large setting in preferences and it is too small to read in my music or my playlist. Itunes 11 was ok but you have decided to decrease the size of it by 1 or 2 points.
I am considering going back to itunes 11 unless this is fixed and for a person who's eye sight isn't the best then it is very hard to read the playlist files in the player.

Going back to the suggestion by mmu1253397, what is your screen resolution? Your resolution may be too small (640x480 or 800x600 for instance). If you right click on your desktop, choose properties, then go to the settings tab, you can increase your screen resolution (drag the slider to the right). By doing so, you shrink the size of everything on your desktop, thereby allowing you to display more (including more of a maximized window). I'm running iTunes on three different PCs with resolutions of 1024x768 and 1600x1200 and have had no issues displaying the complete iTunes window.

Menus and Fonts too small with Panasonic HDTV

I just hooked up a new Mini (Intel chip) to my Panasonic HDTV-- 34" Model No. CT-34WX53-- using a DVI cable. The desktop shows up fine, but the menus and fonts are so tiny that I can't read them. When I try using Front Row, the pictures and vide are gorgeous and the fonts in Front Row are fine. It's just the fonts and menus in on the desktop and in other programs that are too small. Does anyone know how to fix?

Edward,
That's the price of having a gazillion pixels!
You have two options - send less pixels to the display or change each application (Including the finder) to show larger fonts and icons.
The lower the resolution option is easy and fast. The downside of "zoom"-ing the display is it may look blocky at certain resolutions and the fonts and fine details in photos and movies may be lost if the mac has to alias or scale the video. If you do this - you might want to enable the menu bar item for display preferences to quickly switch between the setting you prefer. I use one setting for actually using the mac and another setting for playing movies and showing slides in FrontRow.
The change the preferences to make the fonts and icons larger is more of a pain but yields the most crisp display and you don't have to change things up. I would start with Finder Preferences (select an icon on your desktop and on the View menu - show view options - crank up the icon size and font size.) Unfortunately - you have to do this in each application you use. It also won't change the menu font sizes - you might need an "extension" from a developer to change that.
