Small Printed Font Size

When I print an email or a web page the printed font size is very often much smaller than shown on my monitor.

Hi,
There is an option in print preview to scale the page to the size that you want however there is a trade off in regards to what you'll be ableto fit on one page. The larger you make the text, the more printed pages you end up with.
In order to fit all the text on one printed page as you see on the screen, there's an upper limitation to the size that the text can be.
I've inlcuded a screen shot of the print preview scaler below:
I hope this helps.

Print font size too small

When printing in Safari, the print size is tiny, both in email and web sites, smaller than it appears on screen. When using Internet explorer or Firefox it prints the right size. If I go to Safari edit, preferences, then appearance, and raise font size, it will print larger, but all font sizes on web pages are way big. How can I just increase the print font size. My IP is Comcast. OS is Win XP sp3.

It should print the same size. Click View -> "Make text bigger" before printing.

Printing font size

Having problems with the print font size being extremely small. Increasing the message font size in the preferences pane will increase display font, but not the print size.

Open Help > Mail Help, type print in the search box and press <Return>. You may find some useful information there. In particular, what are your File > Print > Mail settings?

Why ist the printed font size smaller then the choosen font size in pages

Hi,
sorry about my english it´s a lot of years agoo i used it.
since a cuple of months i choosed a mac mini to be used as my favorit pc-system. Now i am using pages to create letters and stuff like greeting cards, posters, flyers and so on.
In this i´ll find a problem between the choosen font sizes and the printed paper.
If i choose a font and size like arial 12, and start the print job of the lettert with my Printer (Samsung 3170 MFC or Samsung 315), the size of the printed font is very smaller than the in pages choosen font (seen on the screen.
If i use MS offce it is the right size on the screen as on the printet paper.
What do i wrong?

Maybe because your document isn't displayed at 100% but at 120% on your screen.
On my iMac, to get the same size on screen and on paper, the zoom factor must be 142% which can't be done thru the available interface.

How do you change the FILE "print code" resulting printed font size?

I would like to adjust the "Print Code" resulting printed document font size. Though the changes can be made in display font for the Code window via a file or the Preferences Menu, I cannot find the style information to change the Print Code.
Thanks

Thanks again for your reply.
I would like the code print out font to be a smaller size. Currently, it ls printing at 12 pt Monaco ( I can emulate this exactly by printing the same document in an editor set as Monaco 12pt ). However, the settings (see below) are set at Monanco 9pt. This works on the screen, but not for printing.
http://goo.gl/eXhnz > screenshot of Setting show "smallest".
Yet the code:print gives me more characters per line, resulting in many more pages per printout. The "print preview" shown in my last message is exactly what the printed page looks like as well.
NOTE: with the same settings ("smallest Monaco 9pt), Dreamweaver CS3 on OSX *does* code:print the smaller size, though without color coding. Dreamweaver CS 5 on my system does not.
Thank you.

TEXTEDIT -- 'screen font' size v. 'print font' size

Does TEXTEDIT allow documents to be viewed in a different font size than the one used for printing? --
-- i.e., e.g., is there any kind of 'zoom' feature that works strictly for the screen and is independent of printing?
I often like to print in a small size font (8 pt.) and am used to being able to do that (e.g., in MS WORD) while still viewing text on-screen in a readable font. However, when I choose 8 pt. for printing from TEXTEDIT, the screen font size shrinks too much to be readable and I haven't seen any way to make it larger without also affecting the printout.
Any cure for this?
Thanks.
(BTW, is there a better place -- i.e., discussion forum -- to ask TEXTEDIT questions?)

It doesn't appear so. Textedit is a fairly basic word processor and because of that you won't find features that are on other more elaborate apps.
I use an app. called Mariner Write for most of my main printing/word processing needs ...there are others out there as well (both free and not) - he's a site with a great selection and description of various 'word' apps...

Firefox reduces the font sizes on Yahoo mail to a very small unreadable font size and i have tried the suggestions in help. Explorer does not do this. What should i try other than using Explorer

This problem started about two months ago and I have been using Explorer to access e-mail. I have downloaded all updates and just downloaded 4.01. When trying to view Yahoo mail, all the fonts on the page are very small and I can not adjust the font size. It is so small I can hardly read it. Other pages are fine.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

How can I increase the browser default font size?

When clicking on 'tools' to got to 'options,' there is no 'option' to be found. Hence, I cannot go to tools to options to content to fonts and colors, and cannot change the default size of the browser. All documents I want to print from a website have the small font size.

Changing the font size or color on the screen/monitor
*does NOT affect the print size
*can cause problems in displaying websites on the screen/monitor
*See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-fonts-languages-pop-ups-javascript (it says near the top '''''"The Content panel contains options related to how websites are <u>displayed</u>."''''')
Print font size is determined on the Print display
*You can un-check "Shrink to fit" and then set your percentage, if you choose, but text may run off the right side of the printed page.

Printer font size is controlled by your printing software or browser settings. You must change the font size in these programs.

How to change font sizes in Yosemite?

Yosemite's default fonts in menu bar, Mail, etc. are too small. Font size used to be adjustable in Preferences > General or Accessibility. Where is it now?

You can't.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.
