Re: iPhoto. iBooks. Font is too small for me to edit. Any solutions?

Re: iPhoto,iBooks. I am making a book for someone using Old World Travel. There are several spots in the book for text, but even using the largest font available is too small to edit or check spelling. Help?

If you have topics with different backgrounds, check that they all have the same CSS file applied to them. Are there Master Pages on your topics? You could try copying in a backup CSS file but I doubt this would make any difference if it is exactly the same. Could you look inside the HTML for one of the topics and see if anything is amiss there.

Apple Mail font size too small for father

My father just purchased a iMac with Mountain Lion OS and a 27 inch screen.
My father needs to be able to read the text of the AppleMail window.
We have increased the size of the fonts to 18 to make it easy for him to see what he is typing in the email editing window, however, none of the other display fonts in AppleMail increase.
The increase in font size is intended by Apple to provide an Accomodation to provide Equal Access for those with Sight Disabilities to the Essential Functions of use, however, this intent appears to have failed within AppleMail.
Would a different mail reader (gmail, etc) provide this font sizing ability?
Requested Remedy:
Provide the ability to increase font size for all of the AppleMail display.

'Preferences' doesn't solve the problem, since it only alters the font size of text for a single message, and doesn't alter the Mailbox Pane or Message Panes.
The Mailbox Pane is enlarged outside Mail, using the System Preference's 'General' setting for Sidebar Icon size - this also alters sidebar text size.
And the Message List is enlarged most easily by a Terminal command
- it's only a single line, cut'n'paste:
defaults write com.apple.mail RichMessageList -bool FALSE
Then restart Mail and adjust its column sizes for the newly enlarged fonts.
This thread gives a full discussion of this solution and its clumsier alternatives:

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.

How do I make icons bigger? All icons are way too small for speedy use. no matter what I do they remain too small. Is there a way of getting them the same size as previous versions?

All icons, such as refresh page, back, forward, stop and home etc; are just too small for comfortable use. For now I am uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3.x. even the zoom page icons are too small.

"I had read that GarageBand or the Musical Typing there can sometimes not display properly when the resolution is changed."
Well, did you checked GB after you changed your resolution?
Which setting did you change to?
You & I have the same size iMac screen. My resolution setting is 1280x800. Everything fits perfectly in the windows & on desktop including the menu bar.
All info in my windows are showing. I did not need to adjust my browser font size settings. I am sure you are aware of the browser font size settings. I use FF & the settings are in Preferences>Content.
In the Finder window you can enlarge the icons & fonts also.
Finder>View>Show View Options.

Default text size in Compressor is too small for normal human eye

Is there any way to change the text size in Compressor 4 in the windows? I can't find any.
The normal default text size is way too small for any normal human being eye to read clearly.
Please, have mercy on us, whoever designed the tiny fonts! Not fair to the rest of us . . .

Well, guess we folk with not-too-good vision will simply have to keep on trucking the best we can, eh? We can't enlarge text, so as a result we can't use software like Compressor like the rest of the population. Sad to say, especially with a company like Apple . . .
Yeah, well I gave the Apple Compressor Team my feedback, just like I've done the last 3 months with other things, then of course the feedback from us all melts into the either, and we never really know if anyone reads it, like they say. Me thinks not. This is the only feedback I'll ever get, I'm afraid:

Comments font is too small

Hello,
I've installed Acrobat DC and opened a PDF with comments.
When looking at the list of comments, it looks good and the font size is good,
BUT!
When double clicking the comment in comments bar in order to copy the comment, the font becomes too small.
The same PDF that it's comments font looked good under Acrobat X has become too small in Acrobat DC.
I know that there was never an option to make all comments fonts bigger and that you can go to each comment and enlarge it text, but it is not reasonable to do it for 200 comments.
This is very disturbing.
Is there a way to fix it?
All the best
Shlomit

Hello
Thank you for your answer but this is not what I asked and it doesn't solve my problem.
I'm not talking about comments I create.
I'm talking about comments proof readers are creating for me.
Most of them use Reader and most of them use the default settings for the comment text.
I am the graphic designer who needs to fix the proof reader comments. I need to copy the text of the comment, and for that I need to double click it. When double clicking to comment, the text becomes too small. It has nothing to do with the size you set in preferences as this size refer the the comments text view when they are closed (without double clicking it in order to copy the fixed word or words) and not about the content of the comment. It even written in prefs "Comment view" and not "Comment content"///
Look at the attached screenshot.
I hope my question is clearer now.
Now, how do I change the font size of all 370 comments I have in my document so when I double click the comment I can see the font in a bigger font size?
I don't believe there is a way to do it. There was never a way.
I read here that there is nothing to do in old versions, seems like in the new version its the same. So the news are still sad as one of your stuff said in his answer...
I do hope I'm wrong, this is a serious issue for me.
all the best,
Shlomit

Toolbar font is too small how do you adjust it to make it readable

There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:

* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level

Is there a way to increase the size of the tool windows/fonts in InDesign. I am having trouble seeing the info (the font is too small)

Is there a way to increase the size of the font in the tool windows in InDesign? I am having trouble seeing the info (the font is too small)

Not possible. You'll need to go to your operating system and choose a screen resolution that displays the screen with larger pixels.
Or get a new prescription for your glasses (seriously!)

I want the old download display back! Library font is too small, do NOT want the sidebar!

Just upgraded to 20.0 on XP SP3 - not interested in 'library' display; font is too small to read, do not need/want the sidebar, and need/want the % complete to show as it did in the old download display.
Also, how do I turn off the distracting and stupid fade-in/fade-out large green arrow on download completion - again not something I'm interested or have any use for.

I haven't tried it myself, but check out the solution in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955204 Got new version, want to go back to previous download box, the new one has no history and doesn't show speed of download, how do I go back?]
The green arrow, like other toolbar controls, can be hidden by using the Customize feature. Kick that off by doing either of these:
* right-click a blank area of the Tab bar > Customize
* View menu > Toolbars > Customize
Drag the unwanted arrow into the dialog with the other unused buttons, the click Done.
Does that fix it?

I've shrunk my fonts box too small!

Thanks to everyone for your gracious help!
I've shrunk my font box too small, and can't get it to enlarge again. I dragged its resize control (bottom right corner of the panel) but now can't drag it back.
Thank you - Julie

Hello Julie
I assume you are referring to the Font Inspector. If so, you should see three little circular buttons in the top left of the window. As you move your mouse over the third from the left it should go green with a + symbol. Click it and it will expand again. If you aren't talking about this, please post back.

Windows 8.1 RDP pci/font size too small

I just purchased a Dell Xps 15 Windows 8.1 and am struggling with many apps including RDP which I use daily for several clients. I have searched on line for suggestions. I can connect but the font is tiny. I am not even sure if I have the correct RDP installed
but I have tried all options on what I have to no avail. My old laptop with Windows 7 is "dandy". Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Did you choose one of the high-resolution screens offered with the XPS 15? For example, 3200 x 1800 or 3840 x 2160? If yes then that explains why you are having problems when connecting to hosts that do not support dynamic scaling.
Depending on your vision even the 1920x1080 option may be too small for comfort.
One thing you may consider is to hook up an external monitor that is much lower resolution and larger size and use that for your remote desktop windows when connecting to older operating system versions.

All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
Any ideas?

You probably accidently zoomed the screen. Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom. Cntl - scroll up to zoom.

I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it. Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read... I sent on the PC setting to try to change the display resolution.

I just bought a new PC and I have re-installed my Adobe Creative Suite Standard on it.
Software open fine. PROBLEM: The toolbars (menu stuff) appear extra-small, too small for me to read...
I went into the PC settings and tried to change the display resolution. This changes the size of all the icons (not only Adobe) but it does not solve the problem when I open an Adobe application (Photoshop or Illustrator)... The PC is run under Windows 8.1 and my display resolution is 3200x1800 (but again, when I change the settings for a smaller resolution, only the size of the icons is affected. Once I open the software, the problem is still there, extra-small toolbars...). Help!!!

Buffer too small for string - Crystal Report for Vs2010

Hello,
    I have recently upgrade my VS2010 project to Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2010.
    I have some reports that contains more than 512 characters in the Report Comments section.
    When I try to do a RptDoc.SaveAs(vPath, false) the following error is raised:
Buffer too small for string or missing null byte.
      at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocumentClass.SaveAs in :line 0
      at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportClientDocumentWrapper.SaveAs in :line 0
      at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.SaveAs in :line 0
    This line SaveAs was working has expected with Crystal Report 2008. Any idea on why it is not working anymore.
Thank you.
Charles

Hello Don,
    I have start a little project to retest the behavior.
   I have create a new report in Crystal Report 2008 just by clicking New, Finish and Save.
   In a new Windows Application in Vs2010 ,I have added the following Crystal Report Reference.
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=13.0.2000.0
   CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=13.0.2000.0
I have then try the following code and found out the limit of ReportComment is 511 but in the Crystal Report 2008 designer and runtime the limit did not apply.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
      Dim objRpt As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
      Dim i As Integer = 0
      Try
         objRpt.Load("c:\temp\empty.rpt", CrystalDecisions.Shared.OpenReportMethod.OpenReportByTempCopy)
         Do
            i += 1
            objRpt.SummaryInfo.ReportComments = New String("X", i)
         Loop
         objRpt.SaveAs("c:\temp\dfh_save.rpt", False)
      Catch ex As Exception
         MsgBox("i: " & i)
         MsgBox(ex.Message)
      End Try
End Sub
     I am able to put has many characters if I insert the report in the Vs2010 Solution.
     If you prefer I can send you my little project.
Thank you.
Charles
