Setting default font size in Safari

Hi. I like to set my font size in Safari to one level below the default. I usually do this everytime I open up a Safari window and hit Command+Minus or go to View > make text smaller. Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way I could set this to default so I did not have to do it everytime I launched Safari?

mrurmil --
You can go into the main Safari Menu, (upper left of top Menu)
Go to Preferences>Advanced
and then lower the size font designated in
"Never use font sizes smaller than _"
Mine's set to 9 which is pretty small,
but I like it better. I believe it was set to 11 or 12 natively.
Hope this helps.

How can I increase default font size in Safari?

I know about doing a reverse "pinch" of the screen to increase font size in Safari, but is there a way to set a larger default font size?

Hey there,
See if one of these pages can help.

How do I set default font size?

Some programs (most importantly for me, Thunderbird) use a default font size that is too small for my eye comfort. Some (such as Firefox) allow me to change the font size, but Thunderbird does not (though there is a menu item to change font size, which does not work).
I gather that such programs are using a default system font size. So I would like to change this. Some Help articles suggested that I could do this from the Font Panel, but they give no indication where to find the Font Panel. I cannot find it in System Preferences or via the Spotlight.
I am using OS X 10.4.7
I am computer-literate, but new to the Mac, having had this computer for about a week and a half.
P.S. In Thunderbird -> Preferences -> Fonts there is an option to configure the fonts used by Thunderbird. The settings affect messages, but not the main window with the message list. However, at this point I'd really like to set the system default so all programs that use the system default will be affected.
Thanks.

This still does not work.
I tried all of them.
Theme Font & Size Changer
Big Buttons
Default FullZoom Level
NoSquint.
It only works for that page of that web site, as soon as you leave you start all over again.
Can't we just say Firefox messed up and needs to revert to the way it used to work without have to do ANYTHING to adjust any sizing.
This is utterly ridiculous.
It's a web browser for GOD sakes...not the OS. It shouldn't be doing anything but displaying web sites with NO INTERVENTION by the user for each and every page.
Why are programers always looking for ways to take a working product and make it useless???

I can't seem to set a default font size in Safari 6.0. I can zoom in and zoom out, but everytime I close the window and reopen, it's back to being huge again. Any suggestions? To be clear, I'm trying to make the font size smaller.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

In Safari > Preferences > Advanced the smallest the font size can be set to is 9.
If you'd like to, please send feedback to Apple developers > Apple - Safari - Feedback

Open Mail application
On the top menu choose Mail and then preferences
Choose *Fonts and Colors*
Opposite *Message Font* click on the Select button
A fonts menu will pop up and from there (at the top) choose the Text Color you want.
Close the open menus and you will then have the default font color for your message font.

How to change font size in Safari?

Why is it when I set my fonts inside Safari to say, 18 for standard and 18 for fixed. It doesn't display that way. I keep getting the tiny font that I've always used.

The font size you specify in the Preferences (18 for standard) will be used only if the font size is not specified by the web page. Nowadays most of webpages (including this Discussions) specify fonts and sizes to use in the CSS file, and the setting in the Preferences will be ignored.
As andyBall writes, you can set the minimum size of fonts in Safari-Preferences-Advanced. But the results may not satisfy you (wrong line spacings etc.).
In the same Preferences, you can specify your own CSS file, as explained in the following post by Tom Gewecke:
Re: Setting default font size doesn't stick
But here again, line spacings etc. are not adjusted correctly. To write a detailed personal CSS file by yourself is very tedious, if not impossible.
As you might know, you can enlarge the fonts (and spacings) by hitting "command +" (press-hold the command key and hit the + key, or the = key; it seems you need not to press the shift key). I will be very pleased if someone tells me how to make this "enlarged" state the default.

Unable to set default fonts n style in Cisco Jabber

Unlike CUPC or WebEx Connect, no option is currently available under File -> Options for both Cisco Jabber for Windows (On Prem or Cloud deployement) to configure and set default font/size/style for Jabber.

Got an update on this. This feature is targeted in future release where we'll allow end users to change the Outgoing Font Size n Style!!

My default font size is set at 18px. Is this the default default font size for all users of ff 3.6+?

I was developing a site in ff when I noticed other browsers were rendering the font size smaller than in firefox. Upon investigation I discovered that my ff 3.6 default font was Adobe Caslon Pro Bold 18px.
I have never deliberately set this. My understanding was that all browsers default default font size was 16px.
Has ff default font size changed from 16px to 18px?

You're welcome.
You can also see preferences that have changed as bold (user set) values on the about:config page.<br />

How do I change the default setting for font size when emailing?

I have Firefox 3.6.13. The default now is 10 and I'd like it 12.

Firefox has no email features, it is just a web browser. Any email settings will be part of the email service that you are using, you will need to contact the support for the email service to see how to change the default font size in emails.

"enlarge default font size"

Between early cataracts and not being able to get computer glasses made right. I am tryingn to figure out how to enlarge the default font size for text in all (most?) of Safari. When I click on the "make the font larger" feaure [A/A], it makes headlines scream and doesn't do all that much for reading.
If I am finding the correct place at which one would normall deal with it, the alternatives that seem to work best for me have disappeared. I believe I had set it manually set to 15, but once I tried to change it, it would only go back to up to 14 and then 18, which is too big. It would be great if someone could help me with this. Thanks.
I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and am almost sorry I upgraded.

Ronald P. Regensburg wrote at MacInTouch:
These Terminal commands allow you to change the fonts and sizes in Safari 6 in Mountain Lion. You might have to empty caches (enable Develop menu in Safari 6) to see the result and remove the css setting (to "nothing selected"). Font names with spaces need to be between quotation marks. Change yours accordingly.
Full example for proportional font:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2StandardFontFamily 'Lucida Grande'
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFontSize 14
Full example for fixed width font:
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2FixedFontFamily Monaco
defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2DefaultFixedFontSize 11

Setting IDE font size in JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA

Is there a way to change default font size in JDeveloper? I am not asking about code editor (I know that), but about menus, title bars, labels, etc.
I have large screen (1400x1050) and I set my default system font larger. Old JDeveloper (10.1.2) obeyed this, but new is still using default font size.
I am using Windows XP with SP2.

Hi Yaniv,
I can't reproduce this problem. On my system, the font in the messages log under the windows look and feel is large enough to be easily readable.
http://www.dubh.org/jdevimages/font-log-window.png
A few questions:
- Which version of jdev are you using (I'm assuming 10.1.3, since that's what the rest of this post is about)?
- Are you running windows on a non-western charset?
- Are you running base jdev or the full jdev?
Thanks,
Brian

Default font size for message buttons

I am using Office/Powerpoint 2012 and Adobe Presenter 8.
When a quiz question is created all of the elements use formatting from the theme, default shape, default text box etc. The appearance tab formatting can only be applied AFTER the quiz has been created and these settings are ignored when the quiz question is created.
I can manage all of the formats using power point formatting EXCEPT for the font size on the message buttons! It is always sized to 18pt. I am forced to navigate back to the appearance tab and "apply formatting to all existing quizzes".
It's not all that time consuming but it is an extra step that could be eliminated if i could only find how to set this default font size!!
The font size i am trying to default to is Calibri 16.
The font that is applied to new message buttons is Calibri 18.
Any idea how this can be accomplished?
p.s. Is it also possible to change the position of the buttons?

Hi,
You need to change the Quiz message font using the the Appearance tab in Quiz. There is no other way.
Also , you may change both the orientation as well as the position of buttons using the Appearance tab in Quiz.
Goto Appearance->button placement->Orientation
Appearance->button placement->Position on slide
Thanks,

[AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

Good morning:
I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks!
Theresa

Thanks Jongware!
I'm aware of the many different forums and I thought I was posting it in the Acrobat Scripting forum.
That'll teach me to look where I post. I guess I'm the one that needs the glasses.
Take care!

10.8, Messages- Set my font size grayed out

On 10.8 I can increse the font of incoming messages- but not the size of my font.
It's microscopic. I set the window on my macbook- with it as a secondary monitor-
and I can't read what I'm typing in Helvetica 12.
Suggestions? I've tried setting font size in Safari, I've looked through System preferences- and of course in Messages preference.
and btw- Apple- I think you blew it changing the name from iChat which searched great- to messages- which applies to every error message known to man and anything else. Distinctive name iChat was much easier to find info on.

Change your background colour from Automatic to anything else and then you can change your font:

Default font size for a value in a table in Answers

Hi,
I am trying to set a default font size for a column of table view in Answers, so that when I create a new report, this default font size is used. Can someone please point me to the file where I can make this change?
Thanks

Well if you have a tag like this:
element.style {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:9px;
It means it's coming from the formatting in the request in Answers...not from a style sheet! You'll note in Firebug, that there's actually no *.css file mentionned. I.e. example from here:
element.style {
color:#00AF00;
.OORD {views.css (line 1574)
text-align:right;
.PTE {views.css (line 1077)
background-color:#FFFFFF;
First part element.style comes from my conditional formatting and doesn't reference any css file
The other two elements are from the views.css which control my pivot table.
See the difference?
Cheers,
C.
